F.9.1:4.3 - Starter stance vocabulary

StancePlain readingNearest overread to reject
localRenameFor this use, the receiving expression is being read as a near-renaming within the stated local boundary.Cross-local identity or unrestricted replacement.
operationalizesFor this use, the receiving expression gives a procedural, observable, or measurable reading of the source.Enactment, implementation, work authority, permission, or type-structure equivalence.
partialAnalogyFor this use, the two senses share one stated explanatory pattern and differ elsewhere.Admissible substitution or equivalence.
projectionFor this use, the receiving expression keeps one stated aspect and drops others.Completeness, reversibility, recoverability, or permission to ignore the dropped distinctions.
nonEquivalentFor this use, read the comparison as an explicit warning against equivalence.A claim of disjointness, a negative Bridge claim, or a general ban beyond the stated use.

These labels are optional local designations inside the stance episteme. They are not Bridge kinds, levels, scores, permissions, or a second taxonomy. If a plain sentence is clearer, use the sentence without minting a label.

A stance word carries no direction by itself. Direction belongs to the bounded-use claim it explains: a projection reading in one direction never establishes the reverse reading or use.
