C.2.2:4.5.A - Formality and scale discipline

  • Ordinal F, CL, and ordinal R proxies permit only operations justified for their ordered meanings, not arithmetic pretending they are ratio-scale measurements.
  • A numerical R requires a justified receiving model even at high formality. A complete formal proof remains useful with empirical R marked N/A; a missing empirical score does not demote the theorem.
  • When support has no common numerical model, publish its separate contributions, limitations, and the bounded conclusion. Use validity windows, empirical reproducibility information, and B.3.4 decay only where the claim actually consumes them.
