A.2.6:2.3 - Minimal, composable trust math

In F–G–R:

  • F (formality) is “how strictly a claim is expressed” (C.2.3).
  • G must be “where it holds,” not “how abstract it sounds.”
  • R carries evidence and reliance currentness. Observed semantic mismatch or loss may be evidence about a proposed translation, while the permitted-loss tolerance belongs to the separate C.2.1 claim about that use.

When G is a set‑valued scope, composition becomes precise: serial dependencies intersect scopes; parallel, independently supported lines can publish a SpanUnion—but only where each line is supported.
