A.19.UINDM:10 - Rationale

Indicatorization is separated because it is a different kind of commitment than scoring or comparison:

• Indicatorization commits to which coordinates are allowed to matter under policy.
• Scoring/aggregation/comparison commit to how allowed coordinates are transformed, folded, or ordered under admissibility gates.

By making indicatorization selection‑only, UINDM avoids “semantic alchemy” (changing meanings while claiming to merely “pick indicators”) and supports the CHR suite’s broader discipline: explicit spec refs, explicit crossings, and explicit handling of uncertainty via tri‑state guards.
