C.26.2:4.9 - Carrier, probe, report, and state split

The pattern keeps four objects separate:

ObjectRole in the claim
Enacted workWhat people, service-providing systems, or market participants actually did in coordination, including routine enactment and artifact use.
Evidence carrierThe log, trace, ticket, meeting note, deployment record, dashboard export, report, API response, or policy text that makes some part of the work inspectable.
Probe / approximationThe survey, dashboard query, interview, trace query, report request, metric, or publication act that frames the state reading.
Distributed-state readingThe minimal U.Episteme claim inferred from coordinated work or behavior under carriers, window, rivals, and export limits.

A survey can be an evidence carrier and a probe. It is not the distributed state. A policy can be a carrier or a routine explanation. It is not automatically evidence that everyone shares one state. A dashboard can be a carrier, a probe, and a behavior-changing instrument. It is not automatically faithful enough for the intended use.
