C.30:4.3 - Publication-use boundary

An architecture description or its publication does not by itself establish deontic permission, promise, prescription, evidence sufficiency, assurance, decision, gate passage, work authorization, release authorization, source authority, or publication-use authority. Use C.30.AD for the description boundary and the pattern that defines or tests each separate claim.

ArchitectureDescriptionPublication@Project ::= {
  sourceEpistemeRef | sourceViewRef,
  publicationViewpointRef?,
  publicationScopeId,
  claimScope?,
  effectiveReferenceScheme?,
  modelUseStructureRef?,
  mvpkFaceRef,
  publicationFormRef,
  sourcePinSetRef,
  audience,
  admissiblePublicationUse,
  nonAdmissiblePublicationUse
}

ArchitectureDescriptionPublication@Project is subordinate to E.17 and MVPK machinery. It records the publication of one source episteme or episteme-lane view. publicationViewpointRef? names the publication-side viewpoint only when MVPK needs one; it is not an architecture viewpoint and not a TEVB viewpoint. mvpkFaceRef is a publication-lane face reference, not an alternative source episteme, source view, or source relation. Publication does not establish non-publication claims; apply C.30:4.3 and the pattern that defines or tests any current evidence, gate, work, assurance, decision, or release claim.

Model cards, system cards, and evaluation harness reports enter C.30 through the same publication boundary or source-relation boundary. They may describe a model, deployed AI system, architecture claim, evaluation harness, or policy, but the architecture move still needs the actual or candidate structure distinction, an obtaining ArchitectureRelation only when its predicate is satisfied, a bounded ArchitectureClaim when claim content is needed, and the applicable pattern for any proof, release, or gate claim.

ModelCardOrSystemCardBoundaryNote@Project ::= {
  sourcePublicationRef,
  entityOfConcernRef,
  entityOfConcernKind:
    model | deployedAISystem | architectureClaim |
    evaluationHarness | policy | otherDeclared,
  architectureStructureKindRefs?,
  intendedUseScope,
  evaluationScopeAndKnownLoss?,
  deploymentInterpretationOrUseMismatch?,
  evidenceOrAssurancePatternLocator?,
  nonAdmissibleUse:
    notArchitectureAdequacy | notSafetyProof |
    notReleaseAuthorityByPublicationAlone
}

If the card or harness is used beyond transparency, recover the architecture structure kind being used first and then apply A.10, G.6, B.3, A.20, A.21, C.16, C.28, or C.11 for the non-architecture claim kind.
