C.2.2:4.6 - Evidence lanes are not new characteristics

KD‑CAL does not add new global coordinates beyond F–G–R. Instead, it requires that reliability be explainable via assurance lanes (B.3.3):

  • TA (Typing assurance): semantic/type alignment sufficient for transport and composition.
  • VA (Verification assurance): logical/algorithmic checking, proof, model checking, static guarantees.
  • LA (Validation assurance): empirical adequacy under declared conditions, tests, benchmarks, telemetry.

Lane reporting is how KD-CAL supports the common research distinction between logical soundness and empirical adequacy without introducing new global characteristics. Lanes remain separable in SCR/Notes; they are not averaged into a “single tradition score”.
