E.20:4.0 - Terminology note (disambiguation)
This protocol and any MIP-run manifest are authoring-side semantic-governing-definition assignment maps. A manifest is not an approval packet, gate, runtime decision, or pass/fail result. It names where mechanism meaning is governed and what must not be inferred from suites, plans, wiring, aliases, or gates.
MIP governs how changes are assigned to their governing definitions, not how systems execute.
MIP trigger triage. Not every reference cleanup is a MIP-run. Classify the proposed edit before requiring a manifest:
- MIP not triggered: pure currentness, reference, typo, or old-label cleanup that changes no mechanism, suite, planned-baseline, wiring, governing-definition, or citeable-token semantics.
- Local wording or alias-docking only: wording clarifies an already-governed mechanism relation, or
F.18alias docking preserves citeability of an old token without changing what the token denotes. - MIP-run manifest required: the edit changes mechanism meaning, suite denotation, suite closure, suite obligations, suite pins, suite protocol semantics, planned-baseline pins, wiring semantics, governing-definition assignment, or what a citeable token denotes.
Only the third outcome uses the manifest in E.20:4.2. The first two still name the current governing locus or alias-docking relation when the text will be published. When the only current result is no denotation change, the published content should not carry MIP-run vocabulary except as a short non-trigger note.
