#A.6.P:9 — Consequences

Preface node heading:a-6-p-9-consequences:11088

#Content

Benefits

• Predictable precision upgrades. Umbrella relational prose becomes systematically expandable into explicit structure.
• Viewpoint conflict becomes repairable. Differences surface as explicit roles/kinds/qualifiers, not silent rewrites.
• Change becomes speakable. “What changed?” is a named semantic change class, reducing folklore.
• Cross‑Context safety improves. “Same/synced/linked” becomes contract‑bearing and auditable, not rhetorical.

Trade‑offs / mitigations

• Higher authoring overhead. Mitigated by progressive elaboration: expand only when invariants, reuse, or decisions require it.
• More explicit qualifiers. Mitigated by keeping the lens stable and reusing slot templates (A.6.5/A.6.6).
• Perceived prescriptiveness. Mitigated by allowing Plain-register glosses that are immediately mapped to Tech tokens (without creating new contracts).
