A.2.8:5.2 - Protocol Rule

A protocol description says: “Participants MUST follow the state machine; invalid traces are rejected; traces are retained for audit.” Recover separate claims:

  • L-claims define the state machine and its safety or progress properties;
  • A-claims define which runtime traces are admissible;
  • one generic normative claim states the participant prescription;
  • one actual U.Commitment is asserted only for an admitted bearer after an applicable constitutive rule and its required basis obtain;
  • the duty referents cite the state-machine, admissibility, and trace-retention content by exact identifiers; and
  • evidence claims and trace carriers support later adjudication.

A ParticipantImplementerSystemRole reference in the policy names a kind. Identify the actual bearer and apply the constitutive rule with its required basis before asserting the individual commitment.
