Content

  • Uses / is used by

    • Uses A.6.B for routing (L/A/D/E), atomicity, and cross-quadrant reference discipline.
    • Used by A.6 cluster conformance (“contract unpacking”) as the detailed, reusable form of that discipline.
    • Complements A.6.S (signature engineering): contract unpacking is a common constructor step when turning prose boundaries into publishable signatures.
    • Coordinates with A.6.P families: when an RPR pattern touches “contract/guarantee” language, apply A.6.C to avoid category errors. (A.6.C is not a specialization of A.6.P; A.6.P is relation‑precision, A.6.C is boundary‑contract disambiguation.)

  • Coordinates with

    • A.7 (Object≠Description≠Carrier) for correct placement of evidence claims.
    • F.12 (service acceptance) for structuring how promise-level commitments connect to evidence and acceptance windows.
    • E.17 MVPK “no new semantics” rule to prevent publication faces from becoming new contracts.
