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.
