C.2.2:10 - Rationale

A triad only works if each coordinate has a single job.

  • G states applicability. It states where the claim is asserted to apply. If G is implicit, teams argue about “what was meant” instead of updating scope.
  • F carries checkability. It states how much the claim’s form supports mechanised scrutiny and reuse. If F is conflated with R, formalisation becomes a rhetorical weapon.
  • R carries warrant. It describes support for this exact claim and use under a named meaning and scale. Its inputs must not erase the distinction between a necessary premise, complementary evidence, and a credible contrary result.

Routing a traversed relation’s declared congruence loss into R only prevents a subtle failure: a change of scope, kind, plane, notation, source-local meaning, model-use basis, or evidence basis cannot silently rewrite the claim or carry its old warrant forward.

No universal fold is conservative for every support model. Minimum can overstate a conjunctive probability and can also suppress useful complementary evidence. The small common rule is to establish input meanings and dependencies, calculate only what they warrant, and otherwise preserve a useful bounded synthesis.
