A.6.C:9 — Consequences
Benefits
- Category mistakes (“contract soup”) become systematically repairable.
- Generic prescriptions remain usable without invented occurrences, while individual commitments remain distinguishable and adjudicable through their actual bearer, rule, instituting basis, scope, validity, and any evidence needed for reliance.
- Boundaries remain evolvable: laws, gates, governance, and evidence can evolve with controlled coupling.
Trade-offs and mitigations
- Additional authoring effort; mitigated by applying the unpacking only when contract-like wording leaves a consequential ambiguity, and by persisting a Claim Register entry only when stable reuse, decision, audit, dispute, or cross-face projection needs it.
- Some stakeholders prefer “one sentence contract”; mitigated by MVPK faces that present curated projections while keeping the underlying claim set coherent.
