C.2.4:4.1 - Characteristic specification
- Kind: CHR characteristic.
- Scale discipline: ordinal.
- What rises: semantic shape becomes more explicit.
- What does not follow automatically: truth, trust, closure, admissibility, or formality.
AE is therefore independent from F, from LanguageStateClosureDegree, and from endpoint authority.
Use C.2.8 to compare how much selected structure a reader can correctly extract under stated preparation, access and budget, including when both expressions already meet the same AE threshold. Reader recovery supports an AE judgment about explicit articulation; it does not turn the AE0–AE5 progression into a scale of extractable structural amount.
