A.19:5.2.5 - Characteristic-Space Reference Chain

When evaluating a checklist, StateAssertion, gate, assurance argument, or decision through a declared CharacteristicSpace, keep the space-related references distinct:

declared Coordinates -> [normalization or quotient, when used] -> [indicator choice, when used] -> [order, topology, or distance overlay, when used] -> neighboring predicate evaluation, assertion, gate, assurance, or decision claim

Only the branches actually used are present. A.19 supplies the declared space and any named mapping, quotient, or overlay; the consumer supplies applicability, operation, result, and consequence. Co-implementation in software or records does not collapse these values.
