A.6.B:2 — Problem
When authors cannot reliably answer two questions—
- “Is this a truth‑conditional statement or a governance statement?”
- “Is it adjudicated by reading the description or by observing work?”
—then boundary statements drift across layers, faces fork semantics, and “compliance” becomes a matter of interpretation rather than a property that can be checked.
A boundary needs a minimal, stable classification that:
- classifies every atomic statement into a unique quadrant, and
- forces any cross‑quadrant dependencies to be explicitly referenced, not smuggled by paraphrase.
