E.3:4.1 - Principle Taxonomy

For this precedence classification, assign each principle exactly one class from { Gov, Arch, Epist, Prag, Did }.

ClassScope & PurposeExample Pillars
Gov (Governance)Change process, community decision‑makingP‑10 Open‑Ended Evolution - P‑11 SoTA
Arch (Architectural)Macro‑structure & invariantsP‑1 Cognitive Elegance - P‑4 Kernel
Epist (Epistemological and Ontological)Semantics, evidence, trustP‑3 Scalable Formality - P‑8 Consistency
Prag (Pragmatic)Real‑world value & cost/benefitP‑7 Pragmatic Utility
Did (Didactic)Cognition & learnabilityP‑2 Didactic Primacy - P‑6 Lexical Stratification

Epistemological sub‑concerns (reasoning, falsifiability) reside inside Epist, avoiding category sprawl yet keeping semantics and trust in one bucket.
