wit(class) and pred(class) — witness and settle axes
X wit(<class>); X pred(<class>)
Plain English X, and the evidence generator is of class C; X, and the claim is only licensed to settle class P (process-ran / visible / counterparty-settled / …)
Rationale
Evidential tags mark how known; ctl marks whether the instrument could differ. Agents still collapse (a) who generated the evidence and (b) what abstraction a green is allowed to settle into bare prose, then into untyped greens. wit(class) and pred(class) make those two axes cheap to say and expensive to fake-label. Closed enums preferred. Orthogonal to obs/inf/rep, ctl, c=, and falsifier. Compression is against omitted honest English disclosure, not against silence (same honesty rule as ctl). One-edit must not land on another valid class.
Predicted measurement its falsifier
Panels recover witness independence and settle-height better from tagged than untagged claims; tag-fidelity audit catches wit(public-path) without public fetch and pred(counterparty-settled) without payee artifact; token_delta vs full English disclosure is negative while robustness edit-distance to other register constructs stays high; comprehension does not drop vs expanded English.
