C.16:8 - Measurement-result boundaries (Normative)

Keep the following objects distinct even when one carrier displays several of them:

ObjectGoverning question
Raw instrument outputWhat signal, bytes, count, image, trace, or other emitted entity exists?
IndicationWhat displayed or decoded value did the instrument provide under its indication semantics?
Actual subject stateWhat obtains for the physical, social, architectural, or epistemic subject independently of the record?
Measurement resultWhat value or values are attributed to the measurand, with relevant method, model, calibration, uncertainty, and time information?
Measurement-result epistemeWhat durable C.2.1 claim states that result and its interpretation basis?
Diagnosis or causal conclusionWhat later domain interpretation is supported under its own method and result algebra?
Criterion or acceptance verdictDid the exact criterion application return pass, fail, or unknown?
Decision resultWhat did separate C.11 decision work decide?

The carrier, dashboard, ledger, criterion clause, and evidence path may represent or cite several rows. None collapses their identities or establishes another row by presence alone.
