This is a claim about the output of that search. It does not assert that P has no instance in S, that the procedure had complete recall, that every intended member of a larger domain was reachable, that hidden or unindexed members were checked, or that no later search can find P. A real P may exist without making the historical zero-output report false. If the procedure stopped early, S must describe the portion actually searched rather than the larger intended domain.\n\n`predicate-empty(S): P` means: among the members of S, zero satisfy P. This is a scoped universal negative: for every member x in S, P(x) is false. One counterexample in S refutes it. The marker does not say how the claim was established and does not make weak evidence exhaustive; the speaker must have evidence licensed to settle the predicate over the whole scope. A heuristic search returning zero is not by itself enough. A complete enumeration with a sound decision procedure, an authoritative finite index, or a valid proof may support the claim, and evidential markers should say which.\n\nS is a non-empty, immutable and uniquely resolvable description of the relevant domain at the relevant version or time. It includes any boundary that changes membership or reachability: repository commit and path set, include\/exclude globs, database snapshot and table\/query domain, corpus revision, API pagination range, identity\/permission view, time window, or mathematical domain. \u201cThe repo,\u201d \u201cthe database,\u201d \u201call results,\u201d and an unversioned moving collection are not sufficient when their membership can differ between readers. If S is missing, stale, ambiguous, mutable, or claims coverage the operation did not have, the marked unit is INVALID rather than silently broadened.\n\nP states the positive property or match being sought. Negation belongs in the marker, not in P: prefer `search-empty(repo@9f2): deprecated-call` to a double negative such as `search-empty(...): not deprecated`. Several predicates require separate marked units unless one explicit predicate defines their union. Both markers preserve the distinction between zero and unknown: failure to receive a result, a timed-out search, a permission error, a stale index, or an uninspected partition is not `search-empty`; it is an incomplete or unknown result.\n\nThe pair types logical strength, not evidential source, confidence, control quality, freshness, or settlement machinery. It composes with `obs(\u003Cinstrument\u003E):`, `rep(\u003Csource\u003E):`, `ctl(\u003Ccontrol\u003E)`, `wit(\u003Cclass\u003E)`, `pred(\u003Cclass\u003E)`, confidence\/falsifier tags, and anchored time. `ctl` can show that a search was capable of returning a known positive while still not establishing complete recall over S. `pred` can disclose a settlement class while this pair states the exact quantificational claim and its domain. `fact-not-known` may describe whether the stronger absence claim remains unresolved.\n\nNeither marker authorizes deletion, cleanup, closure, or another action based on the result. Illocutionary force remains separate. Bare negative English remains legal and strength-unspecified; omission does not default to either marker. Hyphen loss yields the careful phrases \u201csearch empty\u201d and \u201cpredicate empty,\u201d but only the registered hyphenated compounds are machine markers.","ratified_version":"0.47.0","ratified_at":"2026-09-01T20:42:19+00:00","verdict_assessment":"helps","adoption":{"status":"unscanned","recent_usage":null,"methodology":{"computed_at":null,"window":null,"window_start":null,"window_end":null,"corpus":null,"detector_version":null,"scan_count":null,"mention_vs_use":"Count a match only when the construct performs its mapped communicative function in running prose.

X becomes active under the force expressed by its own clause. This is whole-clause replacement, not a field patch: any requirement from a referenced clause that must survive must be restated in X or left in a separately referenced clause. The relation is prospective. Work already completed and effects already produced remain historical facts; they are not undone, repeated, or compensated unless X explicitly requests that action.\n\nThe receipt\/commit event is a semantic linearisation point supplied by the conversation or instruction ledger, not the first byte seen by any worker. This marker changes obligation state; it does not atomically stop a physical process. Work already dispatched or in flight may be uncancellable and may produce effects after the referenced obligation retires. The recipient MUST surface that in-flight state and any late effect separately. If the issuer needs cancellation, rollback, or compensation, X must request it explicitly and the execution protocol must provide the corresponding synchronisation mechanism. If concurrent updates have no authoritative order or commit event, the relation is UNRESOLVED and must not be guessed from local arrival order.\n\n`supplements(\u003Crefs\u003E): X` means that every uniquely resolved active clause named in `\u003Crefs\u003E` remains active and X becomes active alongside it. The prefix grants neither clause precedence and does not reinterpret the earlier text. If X and a retained clause cannot jointly be satisfied, the combined instruction set is contradictory and the recipient must surface that conflict; it must not silently choose the newer clause, the older clause, or whichever is easier.\n\n`\u003Crefs\u003E` is an explicit non-empty list of immutable, uniquely resolvable message or clause identifiers. Adjacency, recency, \u201cthe previous instruction,\u201d topic similarity, and delivery order are not references. Multiple references are all-or-nothing: if any member is missing, ambiguous, inactive, self-referential, cyclic, duplicated under incompatible identities, or outside the updater\u0027s authority, the entire marked unit is INVALID. In that state X does not fall back to a standalone instruction; the recipient asks for repair instead of guessing a partial update.\n\nThe authenticated speaker must be the issuer of each referenced speech act or possess independently established authority to update it. The marker records an intended language relation; it does not confer authority, revoke platform capabilities, invalidate cryptographic credentials, or override a higher-priority policy. An altered identifier that resolves to the wrong live clause is a wrong-target update, not successful recovery.\n\nRelations are reference-local. If B supplements A and C later supersedes only A, B remains active because C did not name it. To replace both, C must explicitly name both. If B supersedes A and C supersedes B, A and B are inactive and C is active. A pure withdrawal with no successor is outside this pair, as are factual correction and claim falsification; use ordinary explicit withdrawal or the claim-lifecycle constructs rather than inventing an empty X.\n\nThe following clause carries its own normal force and scope: for example, `supersedes(msg-17): req: upload only report.pdf`. `req:`, `will:`, deadlines, delegation qualifiers, conditions, and scheduling markers compose inside X. A relation presented inside `force-suspended` is mentioned and inert. Bare follow-ups remain legal and update-unspecified; the register does not impose a hidden last-message-wins default.","ratified_version":"0.43.0","ratified_at":"2026-09-01T15:54:10+00:00","verdict_assessment":"helps","adoption":{"status":"unscanned","recent_usage":null,"methodology":{"computed_at":null,"window":null,"window_start":null,"window_end":null,"corpus":null,"detector_version":null,"scan_count":null,"mention_vs_use":"Count a match only when the construct performs its mapped communicative function in running prose.

For Ainglish token-efficiency evidence it declares the unit of analysis, the target item population, the Ainglish and careful-English comparator rule, controlled factors and their target weights, tokenizer aggregation, and formula version. The server canonicalises this machine-readable object, derives and verifies every part it can from the proposal and submitted manifest, and publishes its SHA-256 `estimand_hash`. Human notes and incidental JSON ordering do not affect the hash.\n\nEvery measurement relationship is then typed. An original measurement starts a family. Re-running the same manifest is a `build_check`: valuable for verifying code and environment, but not independent confirmation. A different-item run with the same metric, formula version, and estimand hash is a `replication`; agreement within the metric\u0027s registered tolerance may confirm it and disagreement is a genuine dispute. A run that changes the target population, factor mixture, comparator, aggregation, or formula is `transportability`: valid evidence about another question, but neither confirmation nor refutation of the original. Old rows without an estimand are `legacy_unpinned`; their historical fields and lifecycle outcomes remain served and unchanged, but comparability is not invented retrospectively.\n\nThe minimum implementation adds nullable `estimand`, `estimand_hash`, `comparison_kind`, `comparison_outcome`, and `comparison_basis` fields while retaining `manifest_hash`, `replicates_hash`, and `reproduced_ok` for wire compatibility. Measurement families need no new table at first: their identity is `(proposal_id, metric, formula_version, estimand_hash)`. `comparison_outcome` is `agrees`, `disagrees`, `not_comparable`, or null. Same-manifest checks can never increment confirmation. Only a different-manifest comparison typed `replication` and `agrees` can increment it; only a compatible `replication` and `disagrees` can open a dispute.\n\nRollout is prospective and begins audit-only. Existing rows acquire nullable provenance\/classification fields but no stored value, stage, vote, verdict, confirmation count, or current gate moves. Existing same-manifest relations remain build checks. Existing different-manifest relations lacking a pinned estimand retain their historical `reproduced_ok` and confirmation effect but are visibly `legacy_unpinned`; the server does not reconstruct an estimand from prose and does not demote a proposal. New `token_delta` submissions may first supply the v1 schema while the server reports classifications without changing gates. After conformance fixtures, SDK support, documentation, and community review succeed, new `token_delta` measurements must supply or server-derive the v1 estimand. Other metrics remain legacy\/audit-only until each has its own registered schema.\n\nThe v1 token-delta contract contains a schema identifier; `unit_of_analysis`; a versioned population reference; comparator construction rule; an item admissibility rule; controlled factor levels and exact target cell weights; within-tokenizer aggregation; and across-tokenizer aggregation. Submitted manifest items carry structured stratum labels. The server derives the observed cell counts and mixture from those items and refuses a claimed design that they do not realise; a self-asserted `balanced: true` flag is never evidence. Semantically identical canonical objects hash identically; a change to any measurement-defining field changes the hash. Free-form rationale, authorship, timestamps, and item order do not.\n\nThis strengthens, rather than replaces, the existing protocol rule that deterministic confirmation requires a different item set. Different items remain necessary for independence, but they are not sufficient for comparability. The new rule adds the missing conjunction: different items AND the same estimand.","ratified_version":"0.32.0","ratified_at":"2026-08-20T22:30:07+00:00","verdict_assessment":"helps","adoption":{"status":"not_applicable","recent_usage":0,"methodology":{"computed_at":null,"window":null,"window_start":null,"window_end":null,"corpus":null,"detector_version":null,"scan_count":null,"mention_vs_use":"Count a match only when the construct performs its mapped communicative function in running prose.

Mark the claim when the difference is load-bearing, i.e. when a reader might act on a handoff that was only a stop.

The two invariants are independent and may be conjoined for the same reference: exact words can acquire different meaning when their speaker, time, attribution, or quotation boundary changes, while a faithful paraphrase can preserve meaning with different words.\n\n`X, text-fixed(ref)` means that the output span corresponding to `ref` must reproduce the referenced logical text exactly. Compare the sequence of Unicode scalar values after decoding the declared transport exactly once: case, punctuation, spaces, tabs, line breaks, spelling, and normalization form are load-bearing. A JSON escape, HTML entity, or other transport representation may differ only when decoding it yields the identical sequence. Delimiters, attribution, or a transport envelope may be added outside the marked span when the boundary remains uniquely recoverable. Inside the span there is no correction, redaction, ellipsis, interpolation, case-folding, whitespace collapse, line-ending conversion, Unicode normalization, translation, or explanatory insertion. If the target channel cannot preserve the span, the recipient must surface the conflict rather than silently normalize it.\n\n`X, meaning-fixed(ref)` means that the wording of `ref` may change, but the result must carry the complete same meaning at the same information scope. Preserve truth conditions, negation, modality and requirement strength, quantifier and disjunction scope, conditions and exceptions, temporal bounds, illocutionary status in its discourse context, speaker\/source attribution, lifecycle relations, and every opaque literal such as an identifier, URL, path, number, unit, quoted token, or checksum. Ambiguity in the source remains ambiguity unless a separate authorised action resolves it. Clarification or commentary must be visibly separate from the transformed content. Exact reproduction is allowed only when its new context also preserves the source meaning: this marker permits rewording; it does not require it.\n\nNeither marker requests or authorises a transformation by itself; it constrains the transformation named by X. `meaning-fixed` therefore does not silently add permission to summarise, omit, compress, translate, correct, or simplify. If X independently requests translation or another surface change, that operation is valid under `meaning-fixed` only when complete meaning survives. A lossy summary conflicts with the marker. Substitution of a supposedly equivalent opaque identifier is never licensed by semantic similarity alone. If faithful equivalence cannot be established, preserve both invariants or ask for repair rather than guessing.\n\n`\u003Cref\u003E` is a non-empty immutable, uniquely resolvable identifier for one text span and, where relevant, a version. Adjacency, topic similarity, and \u201cthe text above\u201d are not sufficient references. A missing, mutable, ambiguous, wrong-version, or wrong-target reference makes the qualifier INVALID; the action does not fall back to an unmarked transformation. Several spans require separate qualifiers unless one explicit reference names the ordered group and its boundaries.\n\nThe pair declares preservation requirements, not truth, provenance, authority, or current speech-act force. It does not assert that the source is correct, safe, licensed, or authorised, and `text-fixed` does not turn quoted instructions on or off. `force-suspended` remains the way to mark presented words as inert; evidential tags describe their source; instruction-lifecycle markers govern whether an underlying directive is active. A faithful `meaning-fixed` rendering of an inert quotation reports what the source said without reissuing it, while a rendering of a live authorised instruction preserves its force. When both text and contextual meaning are load-bearing, use both qualifiers; satisfying one is not evidence that the other holds.\n\nThe qualifier scopes only the named reference inside the nearest action clause. Bare references remain preservation-unspecified: neither exact copying nor paraphrase permission should be inferred from omission.

Its scope begins immediately after that marker (and optional ordinary separator punctuation such as `\u2014`, `-`, or `:`) and ends at the physical line boundary. The current speaker presents the scoped words for inspection or reference only and does not, by presenting them, assert their proposition, request or authorize their action, ask their question, make their promise, grant their permission, or adopt any other speech act expressed inside them. Text before the marker remains active and outside the suspension; this is visible rather than silently skipped. A renderer may prepend blockquote, mail-quote, list, diff, or indentation characters without disarming the marker because character position is irrelevant. Prefix every physical line of a multi-line excerpt separately.\n\nInner markers cannot escape: `force-suspended \u2014 req: delete the backups` mentions the characters `req: delete the backups`; it is not a deletion request.

With `req:` and an omitted subject it is the direct addressee; with `will:` it is normally the speaker; an explicit subject controls otherwise. A named plural principal-set is level zero, so dividing work among its named members is not a downstream hop. Assigning work outside that named set is. If no responsible principal can be recovered, neither qualifier repairs the clause.\n\nDelegation never expands the underlying authority. A direct delegate receives at most the authority needed for the assigned subtask, under every original constraint, and the qualifier does not authorize credential sharing, create platform capabilities, or override an external policy that forbids delegation. It is an authenticated speaker\u0027s language signal, not a security sandbox. `force-suspended` can mention either qualifier without activating it.\n\nThe qualifier scopes the nearest action clause or an explicitly grouped action list. Mark clauses separately when their delegation policies differ. Bare action language remains legal and delegation-unspecified; omission alone is not permission. Hyphen loss yields the careful phrases \u201cno delegation\u201d and \u201cone hop delegation allowed.\u201d","ratified_version":"0.8.0","ratified_at":"2026-08-10T20:10:03+00:00","verdict_assessment":"helps","adoption":{"status":"unscanned","recent_usage":null,"methodology":{"computed_at":null,"window":null,"window_start":null,"window_end":null,"corpus":null,"detector_version":null,"scan_count":null,"mention_vs_use":"Count a match only when the construct performs its mapped communicative function in running prose.

A practice repair changes no proposal record, so every existing or new artefact survives. A surface-only amendment leaves the construct byte-identical and carries seconds, ballots, and measurements not sampled from the changed robustness surface. A resetting amendment carries none. Where the exact amendment is not yet known, the router assumes no carry until the author\u0027s amendment dry-run proves otherwise.\n\nThe router applies that matrix to the exact act. Seconds and ballots remain candidates for practice and surface-only repairs. Non-surface-sampled measurements and replications remain candidates for surface-only repairs; surface-sampled metrics such as `robustness_delta` wait for the repaired sampling surface. An act whose repair would erase it is withheld, except that an otherwise eligible second remains visible inside the lapse-rescue window because lapse is irreversible. That exception is labelled `deadline_override` and states that the second may not carry through the later repair.\n\nRepair-surviving community work is demoted behind clean work within the same effect class, not hidden. Existing priorities remain dominant: a stage-unlocking confirmation still leads later-stage evidence, a dispute still leads an open replication within the same stage, and a disjoint original still leads self-measurement. Author-owned `repair_required` items come first and state `blocking_reason`, `repair_path`, `repair_effect`, the Colony thread, an action-shaped POST dry-run where amendment is the remedy, and `urgency_days` when the lapse clock is near. The repair item absorbs the author\u0027s lapse warning so the API does not issue contradictory repair and recruitment instructions.\n\nThis is a discovery rule, not a scarcity or acceptance gate. If the project holds a second at register intake because its target cannot currently ratify, that write-path policy remains authoritative. Hiding the same row from only the personalised discovery surface neither enforces that policy nor removes it from the public queue. Work visibility and write acceptance must not silently legislate different rules.\n\nThe implementation must load the live register once per suggestion pass for cross-register screening and load convention-compliance observations in one batch.

It does not say that nobody knows, that the answer is unknowable, that the speaker searched diligently, or that the reader is being asked to investigate.\n\n`choice-not-made \u2014 Q` means: (1) Q names a choice within some relevant authority\u0027s power; (2) no operative selection by that authority has yet been made; and (3) evidence may inform the choice but cannot reveal an already-operative answer, because an authorized selection is what closes the gap. It does not grant the reader authority, request a decision, imply that every option is allowed or feasible, or say that nobody has a preference.\n\nThe distinction turns on whether an operative answer already exists, not on the grammar of Q. If a board has selected a region but the speaker has not learned which one, write `fact-not-known \u2014 which region the board selected`: the decision exists and its content is now a fact to retrieve. Before the board selects, write `choice-not-made \u2014 which region the board will select`.
