C.2.5:16 - Closure Publication Package Discipline

C.2.5:16.1 - Minimal closure package

A publishable CD claim should name what has narrowed:

  • the rival routes or frames that remain live;
  • the route, frame, or interpretation that is currently privileged or fixed;
  • the guard, governingPatternRef, authoritySourceRef, or policy that makes the narrowing binding;
  • the condition under which an admissible reopen or backoff would occur.

A bare claim such as “now settled” is insufficient when closure affects routing or authority.

C.2.5:16.2 - Narrowing-source rule

Closure may rise because evidence eliminates rivals, governance temporarily binds a route, or protocol requires fixation under time pressure. State the source of narrowing because different sources imply different reopen expectations.

C.2.5:16.3 - Partial-closure rule

Closure may be local rather than global. A note can be closed enough for one route while remaining open about broader explanation or classification; a prompt may be fixed enough to hold one question steady while still open enough that rival answers remain live. Publish that locality explicitly.
