A file +written in the owner’s own deed form fails on both the leading parenthesis +and the absent `=`. Measured under `INPUT_STRICT=true`: + +---- +::error:: No identity found (agent-id/name/project/spec_id field, + [metadata] or [scorecard] section, or @abstract directive) +::error:: Missing version or schema_version field +rc=1 +---- + +*Fact 2 — `.deed` is invisible.* `grep -ci deed validate-a2ml.sh` returns 0 +against 20 occurrences of `a2ml`. No tool in the estate scans a `.deed` file +today. + +*Fact 3 — the identity primitive already exists, compiles, and is decidable.* +`BaseVocab.idr` — which lives in the a2ml repository, not in this one — +builds clean (11/11 modules, `%default total`) and its own header states its +purpose: _"the anti-desync primitive: one neutral shape for a thing that can +be identified, located, attributed, and integrity-checked. It names no +downstream consumer."_ + +The gap is therefore not a missing grammar. It is that a typed, total, +surface-neutral identity core exists in Idris2, and a weaker, rival identity +rule exists in shell regex, and neither knows about `.deed`. This document +closes that by defining the deed surface in terms of the typed core, and by +specifying the single change the validator needs. + +== Scope and non-goals + +*In scope:* lexical structure, concrete syntax, the document forms, the +identity rule, the conformance modes, and the validator obligation. + +*Not in scope for v0.1:* the `action-parsing-rules` / `on-encounter` +sub-language of praxis deeds (owner has flagged the existing draft syntax as +a strawman); the vocabulary content of any particular chora; the conversion +campaign itself. + +== Lexical structure + +A deed is a sequence of UTF-8 bytes with *no leading BOM* (U+FEFF is +INVALID). Parsers MUST be deterministic given identical input bytes. + +Keywords, document heads, booleans, UUID prefixes, filename dispatch +literals, and string-escape letters are *case-sensitive*. `repo-deed` is +valid; `REPO-DEED` is not. `#t` is valid; `#T` is not. This matches RFC 7405 +`%s"..."` literals in link:spec/abnf/deed.abnf[deed.abnf]. + +[cols="1,3"] +|=== +| Token | Rule + +| COMMENT +| `;` to end of line. `;;` is the convention for a whole-line comment and + `;` for a trailing one. A comment *is* a token separator (see `Sep`). + Comments are UTF-8, not ASCII — the mandated SPDX header carries `©`. + +| WS +| space (0x20), tab (0x09), LF, CRLF. Insignificant except as a token + separator. Bare CR is not a separator. Tabs ARE legal in DEED (unlike + K9, which forbids them). + +| SYMBOL +| `[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9.*/<>=!?+-]*` — first character a letter; continuation + may include `*`. Dots are structural: `Type.Software.Library` is *one* + symbol whose dotted segments are meaningful to the type resolver. + Underscore is INVALID. Hyphen, never underscore. + +| KEYWORD +| `:` followed by a SYMBOL. Example: `:schema-version`. Never + `:schema_version`. + +| STRING +| `"…"`, body is printable ASCII except `"` and `\` plus UTF-8 multibyte + sequences. Exactly four escapes, case-sensitive: `\\`, `\"`, `\n`, `\t`. + Empty string `""` is valid. `\r`, `\uXXXX`, and all other escapes are + INVALID. Embed non-ASCII directly as UTF-8. + +| INTEGER +| `-?[0-9]+`. Leading zeros are permitted (`007`) and MUST NOT be + interpreted as octal. + +| BOOLEAN +| `#t` or `#f` only, lowercase. Not `true`, not `yes`, not `#T`, not `#F`. + Note: `true` and `yes` still match SYMBOL. A linter SHOULD warn if they + appear in a position whose vocabulary expects a boolean. + +| UUID5 +| `#u5` immediately followed by a STRING, with *no* intervening space: + `#u5"estate/chora"`. The body is the name input to RFC 4122 §4.3 under + the estate namespace. See <>. UUID v4 is intentionally + excluded. + +| QUOTED +| `'` followed by a SYMBOL or a list. Suppresses evaluation. Quoting an + integer, string, or boolean is a parse error. + +| `( )` +| The only bracket. No `[` or `{` forms exist in this grammar. +|=== + +[NOTE] +==== +The estate’s earlier markup dialect used square brackets. Those are not +part of the deed grammar. A `[section]` header in a `.deed` file is a +speciation artefact, not a deed. +==== + +== Concrete syntax + +The productions below are *informative EBNF*. If they disagree with +link:spec/abnf/deed.abnf[abnf/deed.abnf], the ABNF wins. + +---- +Deed ::= Header Sep? Form Sep?

This is the whole *syntax*; +everything else in a deed is vocabulary, not syntax. + +*Exactly one* top-level `Form`. Trailing non-separator content after the +closing `)` is a parse error. `EOF` is an implementation obligation (ABNF +cannot name it); a conforming parser MUST consume the entire input. + +=== List vs clause + +`(foo)` matches both `List` (one symbol) and `Clause` (head `foo`, no +children). Disambiguate by *position*: + +* in a Value position → `List` +* in a Field/Clause repetition (including the body of `Form`) → `Clause` + +`(foo bar)` is only a `List` (`bar` is neither Field nor Clause). +`(foo :bar 1)` is only a `Clause` (`:bar` is a KEYWORD, and KEYWORD is not +a Value). + +=== Required header + +Every deed MUST begin with SPDX lines as `;;` comments, before the opening +parenthesis: + +---- +;; SPDX-FileCopyrightText: © 2026 Jonathan D.A. Jewell (hyperpolymath) +;; SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-4.0 +---- + +Each header line MUST match `;; SP "SPDX-" …`. At least one such line is +required. `SPDX-License-Identifier` MUST appear in that header. The +existing validator already requires `SPDX-License-Identifier` within the +first 10 lines; that check carries over unchanged. + +Non-SPDX `;;` comments and blank lines MAY appear *after* the header and +*before* the opening `(` (they are `Sep`). + +=== Order is not semantic — except `:schema-version` + +`:schema-version` is structurally the first field after the document head. +That is a parse rule, not a lint convention. A form whose first field is +anything else is not a deed. + +All *subsequent* fields and clauses are order-free and may interleave. +The repetition is `( Sep ( Field | Clause ) )`, deliberately not +`Field* Clause*`. A canonical ordering of those remaining members is a +lint convention for diffability, never a parse rule. + +Where precedence genuinely matters — the rules inside a praxis deed — it +is carried by an explicit `:priority` INTEGER, never by file position. + +Rationale, and this is the estate’s signature failure mode: with +first-match-wins, a broad rule inserted above a narrow one silently +shadows it. No error is raised; the narrow rule simply stops firing. With +`:priority`, shadowing shows up in a diff as a number changing, and the +file stays sortable, formattable and merge-safe. + +Lint obligations that follow: + +* `:priority` values MUST be unique within a single `rules` block. +* A rule whose guard is implied by a lower-priority rule’s guard SHOULD warn. + +RULED 2026-09-08 by the owner on standards#752 — match the ABNF to this +EBNF (`:schema-version` first; remaining members order-free). + +== The four document forms + +One extension, `.deed`. The form is selected by the filename stem, *before* +parsing begins, not by a second extension. Dispatch literals are +case-sensitive. + +[cols="1,1,2"] +|=== +| Filename | Head form | Meaning + +| `estate_chora.deed` (exact) +| `estate-deed` +| Noun. The estate’s vocabulary. One per estate. + +| `*_chora.deed` excluding `estate_chora.deed` +| `repo-deed` +| Noun. What a repo IS. A record. + +| `ATLAS.deed` (exact) +| `estate-atlas-deed` +| Noun. The registry of all deeds. + +| `*_praxis.deed` +| `praxis-deed` +| Verb. What a tool DOES. Rules. +|=== + +The stem is everything before the final suffix (`_chora.deed`, +`_praxis.deed`, …). Do *not* split on `.` — stems may contain dots +(`my.project_chora.deed` → stem `my.project`). + +Dispatch is exact-stem-first, and `*_chora.deed` *excludes* +`estate_chora.deed`. The two patterns overlap: the literal string +`estate_chora.deed` also matches the glob `*_chora.deed`, so a naive glob +dispatches the estate vocabulary as a repo record. A conforming +implementation MUST test the exact name `estate_chora.deed` BEFORE the +`*_chora.deed` pattern, and MUST NOT parse `estate_chora.deed` as a +`repo-deed`. Equivalently, the repo form is `_chora.deed` where +`` is any non-empty stem other than the exact string `estate`. + +[NOTE] +==== +ABNF cannot express negation, so this exclusion is a side condition in +both this document and `abnf/deed.abnf`. The side condition is normative: +the grammar alone is not sufficient to dispatch a filename. +==== + +*Semantic constraint:* the `DocHead` inside the file MUST match the +filename dispatch. `ATLAS.deed` containing `(repo-deed …)` is a +validation error even if it parses. + +RULED 2026-09-08 by the owner on standards#752 — "yes, let’s adopt this, +good idea, the chora replaces the clade of course." + +RULED 2026-09-08 by the owner: `praxis-deed` is a genuine fourth head, not +a facet of `repo-deed`. A tool carries obligations a repo does not — what +it invokes, what it emits, what it may refuse — and those are a distinct +document form, so they get a distinct production rather than being +smuggled in as optional fields on a record. + +[NOTE] +==== +This is not the earlier `tool-praxis-deed`, which was another session’s +coinage and was removed from this spec because it appeared in no owner +text. The owner’s own three heads were `estate-deed`, `repo-deed` and +`estate-atlas-deed`; `praxis-deed` is a deliberate addition ruled on +2026-09-08, and the name is two words, not three. +==== + +=== `:schema-version` is required on every head + +RULED 2026-09-08 by the owner. The owner’s original text was not uniform: +`estate-deed` carried `:schema-version`, `estate-atlas-deed` carried +`:registry-version`, and `repo-deed` carried neither. The grammar +normalises this: + +* `:schema-version` STRING is REQUIRED on all four heads, and is + structurally first. It versions the *format*, so a consumer can refuse a + file it cannot parse. +* `:registry-version` STRING remains available on `estate-atlas-deed` as + an optional additional field. It versions the registry’s *contents*. + +---- +(estate-atlas-deed + :schema-version "1.0.0" ; REQUIRED — the format, first field + :registry-version "3" ; optional — the contents + ...) +---- + +This is the field the current validator cannot see. Its regex is: + +---- +^[[:space:]]*(version|schema_version)[[:space:]]*[=:] +---- + +That matches the underscore spelling with no leading colon, so +`:schema-version "1.0.0"` FAILS and `schema_version = "1.0"` PASSES — +directly tested. See <>. + +Rationale for a single extension: the grammar is identical and only the +structure differs. An extension should track what parses a file, not what +it means — `.rs` covers both a library and a binary. `find -name +'*_chora.deed'` costs exactly what `find -name '*.chora'` costs, so a +second extension buys nothing a stem glob does not already give, while +doubling every discovery pattern across the estate during an in-flight +`.a2ml` → `.deed` sweep. Two interleaved estate-wide sweeps is how this +goes wrong. The existing validator already dispatches on basename, so stem +dispatch is proven in current tooling. + +=== The praxis-deed form + +A praxis deed states what a tool does.

The owner did not rule on which fields beyond +these three a praxis deed must carry — candidates such as `:invokes`, +`:emits` and `:may-refuse` are not specified here, because inventing them +is precisely the failure this document exists to stop. A tool deed +conforms in v0.1 on the three fields above; anything further is a v0.2 +question. +==== + +`estate-atlas-deed` is not folded into this form. The atlas is a registry +— a noun, a record of what exists — and keeps its own head. A praxis deed +is a verb. + +=== One declaration site + +Vocabulary — types, tropes, lattices — is declared in `estate_chora.deed` +and nowhere else. Every other deed references it. This is the owner’s +ruling of 2026-09-04, verbatim: "it should be referrring to the chora". + +Both praxis deeds and repo choras name that vocabulary via +`:beholding-chora `. The value is a UUID5, never a bare filename. + +This rule exists because the first draft declared its own parallel type +universe in a tool deed, and the dependency then ran backwards: a lattice +was declared in the tool and consumed by the chora, while every repo +beheld the chora. Two universes with no precedence between them is not a +layering problem, it is an ambiguity. + +[WARNING] +==== +v0.1 draft used `:beholding-estate` for repos and `:beholding-chora` for +praxis. Those cannot both stand without a written distinction. This +revision uses `:beholding-chora` for *every* non-estate deed, because +there is one declaration site and it is the chora.

Any +cloner can recompute it correctly. It therefore cannot establish that a +document is unfalsified, and no rule may claim that it does. + +What it does establish is real and worth checking: a clone that copied a +deed verbatim without re-running repo initialisation will carry the +parent’s UUID, which will not match its own name. That is lazy copy-paste, +and this catches it. The check is named `enforce-uuid-provenance` for that +reason and MUST NOT be named or described as an unfalsifiability +guarantee. + +== Semantics: identity, and the self-assertion rule + +=== Identity maps onto BaseRecord + +A deed’s identity is not a new invention. It is the already-typed +`BaseVocab.BaseRecord`, whose required fields are `id`, `sourceSpan`, +`hash` (`sha256:` + 64 lowercase hex), `provenance` (author, tool as +`name@version`, kind ∈ `{human,ai,mechanical}`, optional agent), +`timestamp` (RFC 3339 UTC) and `artefactRef`. `canonicalNode`, `agent` and +`profileDecl` are optional and do not affect base validity. + +The *surface* keywords that carry that identity are the following.

It does not +excuse a missing `:canonical-name`. + +[WARNING] +==== +Confirm this table. v0.1 §6.1 said `:estate-uuid / :repo-uuid` “on chora +forms” without defining atlas/praxis. v0.1 §8.2 matched +`:estate-authority` and `:agent-id`, which are *not* in this table and +MUST NOT be accepted as identity until they are defined here. +==== + +=== A self-declaration is an input, never a conclusion + +This is the load-bearing semantic rule of the whole format, and it +generalises a specific defect found in the first draft. + +That draft had a repo declare `:p-falsifying #f :p-misbinding #f +:p-conflating #f`, and had the enforcing rule read those same fields back +to decide whether the repo was deceptive. A liar declares `#f`. The rule +was vacuous — it could only ever confirm what it was told. + +The general rule: + +[NOTE] +==== +A deed’s self-assertions are INPUTS to an audit. They are never its +conclusions. Any derived judgement about a repo MUST be computed by an +external observer from observed state, MUST be recorded in a distinct +`:derived-state` position, and MUST carry a witness naming the deriving +tool. A rule that reads a self-assertion and emits a judgement of the +same proposition is ill-formed and MUST be rejected by the linter. +==== + +Consequently a repo states a *warrant* (see <> — the +owner’s own term, replacing the coinage `veracity-claim`); it does not +state a veracity state. The cadastre derives the state and emits a +witness. A bare symbol that a repo writes about itself is not a witness. + +== Typechecking — PROPOSED, pending the typed core + +[IMPORTANT] +==== +Everything in this section is PROPOSED. It is recorded so the design is +not lost, not because it is settled. `TypedCore.idr` currently types the +prose document model (sections, refs, figures) and has no record/deed +node. Bridging it is real work, not a rename. *No new ABNF production is +required by anything below.* +==== + +=== What already exists and is total + +`BaseVocab` provides `baseValidB : BaseRecord → Bool`, the proposition +`BaseValid r = baseValidB r = True`, a decision procedure +`baseValidDec : (r : BaseRecord) → Dec (BaseValid r)`, and structured +diagnostics `baseRecordIssues` enumerating errors first and the +`AiMissingAgent` advisory last. This is the model to follow for every +deed check: a decidable Boolean, a proposition, a decision procedure, and +a structured issue list rather than a string. + +=== Four type systems, measured against what the estate already proves + +The owner asked whether tropical, choreographic, echo or epistemic typing +can be incorporated usefully into `.deed`, and if necessary into k9. +These are not textbook theories to be imported: all four are mechanised +in the owner’s own `_TYPES _SET/` repos. Each verdict below says which +layer it touches — grammar, semantics, or k9 — because most of them +touch no grammar at all. + +The honest summary: one changes a name, one is a k9 proposal, two are +naming for shapes this spec already has. None requires a new production. + +==== Epistemic — adopt the vocabulary, change nothing else + +`_TYPES _SET/epistemic-types` (Agda, MPL-2.0) builds a modality spectrum +in which `FactiveModality` carries `reflect : E κ A → A` (knowledge +implies truth) and `BeliefModality` intentionally omits `reflect`. That +omission is <> stated formally: a repo’s declaration +inhabits a non-factive modality, so no rule can extract truth from it. +The distinction is proved structural, not asserted by a linter. + +It also already has the word this draft coined. The repo defines +`Warrant κ A` as "the type of evidence tokens for A", explicitly +recording "the type of evidence for a claim without assuming the evidence +is valid", and separates "I have a receipt for A" from "A is true" — with +`SoundWarrant` as a separate interface adding `evidence → A`, not assumed +by default. + +*Ruling proposed:* withdraw the coinage `veracity-claim` from the open +rulings and use *warrant* for a repo’s non-authoritative self-assertion, +and *receipt* for a claim transported across a repo boundary. The owner +already has the terms, mechanised, with the exact semantics this format +needs. Coining a rival word would repeat the `tool-praxis-deed` error in +vocabulary rather than syntax. + +*Layer:* semantics and naming. No grammar change. No new field. + +==== Tropical — the only one that belongs in k9, and it has a consumer + +`_TYPES _SET/tropical-types` formalises the max-plus semiring over +ℕ ∪ {-∞} in `Tropical.thy` (Isabelle 2025-1, `comm_semiring_1` proved +through a seven-step typeclass chain, dioid proved separately), and +`TropicalSessionTypes.lean` proves that a static tropical grade equals +the dynamic wall-clock span, with a QTT refinement showing the tropical +grade bounds sequential billing. + +The discriminator for "useful" is whether anything declares a budget +today. Measured across both canonical trees: `timeout_seconds | Number | +default = 300` occurs in 133 Nickel files across 63 repos — but those +files carry only three basenames (`_base.ncl` ×68, `trust.ncl` ×60, +`echidnabot.ncl` ×5), so this is one shared contractile-runner template +stamped estate-wide, not 133 independent decisions. `_base.ncl` is the +base imported by every verb runner and the field sits in its +`run_defaults`. Alongside it, `timeout_honouring = 'strict` occurs in 48 +files, and `'timeout` is one of nine declared failure classes (175 +occurrences). + +That the template is shared is what makes this tractable: a per-step +bound is already declared in one place for the whole estate. What does +not exist anywhere is a rule for composing those bounds. A pipeline of +six steps each bounded at 300s has no declared total, so a runner cannot +say in advance whether the pipeline can finish inside its own bound. + +That composition rule is exactly the tropical semiring: sequential +composition is ⊗ (addition of grades), a parallel or alternative fan-out +is ⊕ (max of grades, giving the span). The Lean result is the soundness +story — the statically computed grade is the wall-clock span. Note the +direction of the claim when it is applied here: `timeout_seconds` +declares a *bound*, not a measured duration, so the composed value bounds +the pipeline’s span rather than equalling it. That is still enough for a +runner to refuse a pipeline whose composed bound exceeds its own. + +*Ruling proposed:* this belongs in the Nickel runner layer, never in +`.deed`. Be precise about where that is: of the 147 `.ncl` files +declaring `timeout_seconds`, 141 sit in the contractile-runner layer — +133 of those under just three basenames (`_base.ncl`, `trust.ncl`, +`echidnabot.ncl`), the other 8 miscellaneous — and 6 are k9 configs +(`fleet-config.k9.ncl`, `mcp-server-config-schema.k9.ncl`). No `.k9` file +declares it at all — 250 exist and none carry the field — so "k9 already +has timeouts" is true of `*.k9.ncl` Nickel configs, not of the `.k9` +surface (and not of `coordination.k9`). Propose a composed bound in the +runner base alongside the existing per-step field, so a pipeline’s +declared total is checkable against its parts. This is task #76 (the +must/intend/trust/adjust/bust/dust runners), not a grammar task. + +Do *not* add a `:budget` field to `.deed`. Nothing reads it. A field no +tool consumes is how the TOML speciation started. + +*Layer:* the Nickel runner layer only (task #76). No grammar change, no +new `.deed` field. + +==== Echo — the name for what ANCHOR is + +`_TYPES _SET/echo-types` (Agda, `--safe --without-K`, no postulates) +proves the fiber laws for `Echo f` and the total-space equivalence +`A ≃ Σ B (Echo f)`. Read against this format: a deed is a projection of +a repo’s actual state; the fiber over a declaration is everything the +projection lost. The equivalence then says the declaration plus its fiber +recovers the repo — which is the precise statement of what ANCHOR is for +(task #22, ruled 2026-09-08 to be both descriptile and contractile, the +is/ought join). Declared state is the projection; observed drift is the +fiber; ANCHOR is the point where the two are forced back together. + +Two caveats carried verbatim from the repo, because they bound the claim. +The equivalence "is not novel" — it is the standard HoTT +total-space-of-fibers result — and "the repo’s contribution is the +emphasis", treating it as the foundation for a structured-loss account. +And the factorization is domain-replacement, not image factorization; the +repo admits `EchoImageFactorization` is a misnomer and gives a weak +factorization system, with orthogonality (unique diagonal fills) not yet +proved. + +*Ruling proposed:* adopt *echo* as the vocabulary for the ANCHOR spec — +projection, fiber, structured loss — and cite it as naming a shape, not +as machinery that computes anything. Nothing here validates a file. + +*Layer:* semantics, and the ANCHOR spec (#22). No grammar change. + +==== Choreographic — already the estate/repo split, but its keystone is open + +`_TYPES _SET/choreographic-types` is not a fourth independent system: it +fuses the previous two. A global choreographic type `G` is read as a +partial causal order and projected to local types by endpoint projection, +with each edge graded by an echo loss-grade and an epistemic +standpoint-warrant. A cut is a consistent frontier (antichain) across +that order. + +That is the topology this spec already describes. `estate_chora.deed` is +the global type; `repo_chora.deed` is its endpoint projection; the +one-declaration-site rule is the projection discipline — vocabulary is +declared once globally and projected, never re-declared locally. Naming +it as endpoint projection turns "an operational tool does not read a +source it is not a party to" from a prose invariant into a statable +property. + +The load-bearing caveat: the repo’s central artefact, K-CUT — "the +conjecture that grading and transport commute with projection across a +consistent frontier" — is described by the repo itself as open. This spec +must not depend on it. Use the vocabulary; do not claim the theorem. + +*Ruling proposed:* adopt choreography/endpoint-projection as the +description of the estate/repo relation in the four document forms. +Record K-CUT as an open dependency if any future rule is ever derived +from commuting projection. + +*Layer:* semantics and terminology. No grammar change. + +== Conformance and the validator obligation + +=== Modes + +[cols="1,3"] +|=== +| Mode | Meaning + +| `lax` +| Structure only. Identity and version absent are warnings. + +| `strict` +| Identity and version absent are ERRORS. Unknown clauses are errors. + +| `attested` +| `strict`, plus every derived judgement must carry a witness. +|=== + +For `.deed` files, `strict` is the DEFAULT and `lax` MUST be opt-in. + +This inverts current behaviour and is deliberate. Today, identity and +version are `report_issue "warning"`, so a file with no identity at all +scores `rc=0` and prints "validation passed" unless `INPUT_STRICT=true` +is set. Any CI job citing the validator without that variable is a +formality, not a gate. That default is how the speciation regenerated +unnoticed, and it must not carry over to `.deed`. + +A `.deed` file in `strict` mode MUST: + +.

The deed surface writes +`:schema-version` — leading colon, hyphen. Verified by direct test: the +line `:schema-version "1.0.0"` does NOT match, while +`schema_version = "1.0"` does. So a conforming deed fails BOTH the +identity check and the version check, for two independent reasons. Both +must be patched together or the fix is half a fix. + +The patterns are anchored to optional leading whitespace only, so an +indented field still matches. This matters: the owner’s own +`estate_chora.deed` indents its fields, and a form anchored to column +zero would reject it. The *head* itself has no separator between `(` and +the symbol, so `(estate-deed` is always column-adjacent. + +Do *not* match `:estate-authority` or `:agent-id` until they are in the +identity table. + +=== Exemptions carry over unchanged + +The existing identity exemptions remain: basenames containing +`AI-MANIFEST`; `AI.a2ml` (and its successor `AI.deed`); any basename +containing `template`; any file with unfilled placeholders; and any path +under a configured design tree.

The two patterns overlap: the literal string +`estate_chora.deed` also matches the glob `*_chora.deed`, so a naive glob +dispatches the estate vocabulary as a repo record. A conforming +implementation MUST test the exact name `estate_chora.deed` BEFORE the +`*_chora.deed` pattern, and MUST NOT parse `estate_chora.deed` as a +`repo-deed`. Equivalently, the repo form is `_chora.deed` where +`` is any non-empty stem other than the exact string `estate`. + +[NOTE] +==== +ABNF cannot express negation, so this exclusion is a side condition in +both this document and `abnf/deed.abnf`.

A liar declares `#f`. The rule +was vacuous — it could only ever confirm what it was told. + +The general rule: + +[NOTE] +==== +A deed’s self-assertions are INPUTS to an audit. They are never its +conclusions. Any derived judgement about a repo MUST be computed by an +external observer from observed state, MUST be recorded in a distinct +`:derived-state` position, and MUST carry a witness naming the deriving +tool. A rule that reads a self-assertion and emits a judgement of the +same proposition is ill-formed and MUST be rejected by the linter. +==== + +Consequently a repo states a *warrant* (see <> — the +owner’s own term, replacing the coinage `veracity-claim`); it does not +state a veracity state. The cadastre derives the state and emits a +witness. A bare symbol that a repo writes about itself is not a witness. + +== Typechecking — PROPOSED, pending the typed core + +[IMPORTANT] +==== +Everything in this section is PROPOSED. It is recorded so the design is +not lost, not because it is settled. `TypedCore.idr` currently types the +prose document model (sections, refs, figures) and has no record/deed +node. Bridging it is real work, not a rename. *No new ABNF production is +required by anything below.* +==== + +=== What already exists and is total + +`BaseVocab` provides `baseValidB : BaseRecord → Bool`, the proposition +`BaseValid r = baseValidB r = True`, a decision procedure +`baseValidDec : (r : BaseRecord) → Dec (BaseValid r)`, and structured +diagnostics `baseRecordIssues` enumerating errors first and the +`AiMissingAgent` advisory last. This is the model to follow for every +deed check: a decidable Boolean, a proposition, a decision procedure, and +a structured issue list rather than a string. + +=== Four type systems, measured against what the estate already proves + +The owner asked whether tropical, choreographic, echo or epistemic typing +can be incorporated usefully into `.deed`, and if necessary into k9. +These are not textbook theories to be imported: all four are mechanised +in the owner’s own `_TYPES _SET/` repos. Each verdict below says which +layer it touches — grammar, semantics, or k9 — because most of them +touch no grammar at all. + +The honest summary: one changes a name, one is a k9 proposal, two are +naming for shapes this spec already has. None requires a new production. + +==== Epistemic — adopt the vocabulary, change nothing else + +`_TYPES _SET/epistemic-types` (Agda, MPL-2.0) builds a modality spectrum +in which `FactiveModality` carries `reflect : E κ A → A` (knowledge +implies truth) and `BeliefModality` intentionally omits `reflect`. That +omission is <> stated formally: a repo’s declaration +inhabits a non-factive modality, so no rule can extract truth from it. +The distinction is proved structural, not asserted by a linter. + +It also already has the word this draft coined. The repo defines +`Warrant κ A` as "the type of evidence tokens for A", explicitly +recording "the type of evidence for a claim without assuming the evidence +is valid", and separates "I have a receipt for A" from "A is true" — with +`SoundWarrant` as a separate interface adding `evidence → A`, not assumed +by default. + +*Ruling proposed:* withdraw the coinage `veracity-claim` from the open +rulings and use *warrant* for a repo’s non-authoritative self-assertion, +and *receipt* for a claim transported across a repo boundary. The owner +already has the terms, mechanised, with the exact semantics this format +needs. Coining a rival word would repeat the `tool-praxis-deed` error in +vocabulary rather than syntax. + +*Layer:* semantics and naming. No grammar change. No new field. + +==== Tropical — the only one that belongs in k9, and it has a consumer + +`_TYPES _SET/tropical-types` formalises the max-plus semiring over +ℕ ∪ {-∞} in `Tropical.thy` (Isabelle 2025-1, `comm_semiring_1` proved +through a seven-step typeclass chain, dioid proved separately), and +`TropicalSessionTypes.lean` proves that a static tropical grade equals +the dynamic wall-clock span, with a QTT refinement showing the tropical +grade bounds sequential billing. + +The discriminator for "useful" is whether anything declares a budget +today. Measured across both canonical trees: `timeout_seconds | Number | +default = 300` occurs in 133 Nickel files across 63 repos — but those +files carry only three basenames (`_base.ncl` ×68, `trust.ncl` ×60, +`echidnabot.ncl` ×5), so this is one shared contractile-runner template +stamped estate-wide, not 133 independent decisions. `_base.ncl` is the +base imported by every verb runner and the field sits in its +`run_defaults`. Alongside it, `timeout_honouring = 'strict` occurs in 48 +files, and `'timeout` is one of nine declared failure classes (175 +occurrences). + +That the template is shared is what makes this tractable: a per-step +bound is already declared in one place for the whole estate. What does +not exist anywhere is a rule for composing those bounds. A pipeline of +six steps each bounded at 300s has no declared total, so a runner cannot +say in advance whether the pipeline can finish inside its own bound. + +That composition rule is exactly the tropical semiring: sequential +composition is ⊗ (addition of grades), a parallel or alternative fan-out +is ⊕ (max of grades, giving the span). The Lean result is the soundness +story — the statically computed grade is the wall-clock span. Note the +direction of the claim when it is applied here: `timeout_seconds` +declares a *bound*, not a measured duration, so the composed value bounds +the pipeline’s span rather than equalling it. That is still enough for a +runner to refuse a pipeline whose composed bound exceeds its own. + +*Ruling proposed:* this belongs in the Nickel runner layer, never in +`.deed`. Be precise about where that is: of the 147 `.ncl` files +declaring `timeout_seconds`, 141 sit in the contractile-runner layer — +133 of those under just three basenames (`_base.ncl`, `trust.ncl`, +`echidnabot.ncl`), the other 8 miscellaneous — and 6 are k9 configs +(`fleet-config.k9.ncl`, `mcp-server-config-schema.k9.ncl`). No `.k9` file +declares it at all — 250 exist and none carry the field — so "k9 already +has timeouts" is true of `*.k9.ncl` Nickel configs, not of the `.k9` +surface (and not of `coordination.k9`). Propose a composed bound in the +runner base alongside the existing per-step field, so a pipeline’s +declared total is checkable against its parts. This is task #76 (the +must/intend/trust/adjust/bust/dust runners), not a grammar task. + +Do *not* add a `:budget` field to `.deed`. Nothing reads it. A field no +tool consumes is how the TOML speciation started. + +*Layer:* the Nickel runner layer only (task #76). No grammar change, no +new `.deed` field. + +==== Echo — the name for what ANCHOR is + +`_TYPES _SET/echo-types` (Agda, `--safe --without-K`, no postulates) +proves the fiber laws for `Echo f` and the total-space equivalence +`A ≃ Σ B (Echo f)`. Read against this format: a deed is a projection of +a repo’s actual state; the fiber over a declaration is everything the +projection lost. The equivalence then says the declaration plus its fiber +recovers the repo — which is the precise statement of what ANCHOR is for +(task #22, ruled 2026-09-08 to be both descriptile and contractile, the +is/ought join). Declared state is the projection; observed drift is the +fiber; ANCHOR is the point where the two are forced back together. + +Two caveats carried verbatim from the repo, because they bound the claim. +The equivalence "is not novel" — it is the standard HoTT +total-space-of-fibers result — and "the repo’s contribution is the +emphasis", treating it as the foundation for a structured-loss account. +And the factorization is domain-replacement, not image factorization; the +repo admits `EchoImageFactorization` is a misnomer and gives a weak +factorization system, with orthogonality (unique diagonal fills) not yet +proved. + +*Ruling proposed:* adopt *echo* as the vocabulary for the ANCHOR spec — +projection, fiber, structured loss — and cite it as naming a shape, not +as machinery that computes anything. Nothing here validates a file. + +*Layer:* semantics, and the ANCHOR spec (#22). No grammar change. + +==== Choreographic — already the estate/repo split, but its keystone is open + +`_TYPES _SET/choreographic-types` is not a fourth independent system: it +fuses the previous two. A global choreographic type `G` is read as a +partial causal order and projected to local types by endpoint projection, +with each edge graded by an echo loss-grade and an epistemic +standpoint-warrant. A cut is a consistent frontier (antichain) across +that order. + +That is the topology this spec already describes. `estate_chora.deed` is +the global type; `repo_chora.deed` is its endpoint projection; the +one-declaration-site rule is the projection discipline — vocabulary is +declared once globally and projected, never re-declared locally. Naming +it as endpoint projection turns "an operational tool does not read a +source it is not a party to" from a prose invariant into a statable +property. + +The load-bearing caveat: the repo’s central artefact, K-CUT — "the +conjecture that grading and transport commute with projection across a +consistent frontier" — is described by the repo itself as open. This spec +must not depend on it. Use the vocabulary; do not claim the theorem. + +*Ruling proposed:* adopt choreography/endpoint-projection as the +description of the estate/repo relation in the four document forms. +Record K-CUT as an open dependency if any future rule is ever derived +from commuting projection. + +*Layer:* semantics and terminology. No grammar change. + +== Conformance and the validator obligation + +=== Modes + +[cols="1,3"] +|=== +| Mode | Meaning + +| `lax` +| Structure only. Identity and version absent are warnings. + +| `strict` +| Identity and version absent are ERRORS. Unknown clauses are errors. + +| `attested` +| `strict`, plus every derived judgement must carry a witness. +|=== + +For `.deed` files, `strict` is the DEFAULT and `lax` MUST be opt-in. + +This inverts current behaviour and is deliberate. Today, identity and +version are `report_issue "warning"`, so a file with no identity at all +scores `rc=0` and prints "validation passed" unless `INPUT_STRICT=true` +is set. Any CI job citing the validator without that variable is a +formality, not a gate. That default is how the speciation regenerated +unnoticed, and it must not carry over to `.deed`. + +A `.deed` file in `strict` mode MUST: + +.

The deed surface writes +`:schema-version` — leading colon, hyphen. Verified by direct test: the +line `:schema-version "1.0.0"` does NOT match, while +`schema_version = "1.0"` does. So a conforming deed fails BOTH the +identity check and the version check, for two independent reasons. Both +must be patched together or the fix is half a fix. + +The patterns are anchored to optional leading whitespace only, so an +indented field still matches. This matters: the owner’s own +`estate_chora.deed` indents its fields, and a form anchored to column +zero would reject it. The *head* itself has no separator between `(` and +the symbol, so `(estate-deed` is always column-adjacent. + +Do *not* match `:estate-authority` or `:agent-id` until they are in the +identity table. + +=== Exemptions carry over unchanged + +The existing identity exemptions remain: basenames containing +`AI-MANIFEST`; `AI.a2ml` (and its successor `AI.deed`); any basename +containing `template`; any file with unfilled placeholders; and any path +under a configured design tree.

Ratify or restore the split. + +*Echo typing — ANSWERED, ratification needed.* The four-type-systems +section gives a reading grounded in `_TYPES _SET/echo-types`: a deed is a +projection, the fiber over it is the drift, and `A ≃ Σ B (Echo f)` is why +ANCHOR (#22) is the point that rejoins them.
