C.2.6:4.0a - Kind and characteristic boundary
U.LanguageStateAnchoringMode is a dependent durable characteristic value under the declared U.LanguageStateSpace / U.CharacteristicSpace boundary, not a root U-kind. Its identity is the anchoring-mode basis slot and nominal family for episteme publication positions. This characteristic does not decide evidence, source-currentness, publication-face, carrier, Work, gate, or reliance claims; those claims retain their own definitions and tests.
