IDRequirementPurpose
CC‑A.6.B.1 (Atomicity).A conforming boundary text SHALL decompose mixed sentences into atomic claims such that each atomic claim routes to exactly one quadrant L/A/D/E.Makes routing unambiguous; prevents contract soup.
CC‑A.6.B.2 (Quadrant routing).Each atomic claim MUST be classified by the Boundary Norm Square and placed in its canonical landing zone (L→Signature.Laws; A→Mechanism.AdmissibilityConditions; D→Norms/Commitments; E→Evidence/Carriers).Preserves stack modularity and evolvability.
CC‑A.6.B.3 (Form constraints).L-* and A-* claims MUST NOT contain RFC deontic keywords as operators; D-* claims MUST name an accountable agent/role; E-* claims SHOULD NOT use RFC deontic keywords.Keeps modalities separated and audit‑ready.
CC‑A.6.B.4 (Explicit references).Where a claim depends on another routed claim, that dependency MUST be expressed by explicit ID reference rather than restating the other claim in new words.Prevents paraphrase drift across layers/faces.
CC‑A.6.B.5 (E‑claim adjudicability).Each E-* claim SHOULD include (a) observation conditions, (b) carrier class/schema reference, and (c) viewpoint/consumer.Makes work‑effects adjudicable rather than aspirational.
CC‑A.6.B.6 (No gate smuggling).Operational admissibility predicates MUST NOT appear as L-* laws in the signature layer; they MUST be A-* claims in the mechanism layer.Preserves substitution and signature stability.
CC‑A.6.B.7 (No upward dependencies).L-* claims MUST NOT reference A-*, D-*, or E-*; A-* and E-* claims MUST NOT reference D-*.Preserves layering and prevents hidden coupling.
