Method

Structural definitions only. No case application. No jurisdictional interpretation.

Principles

Terminology stabilization: terms are defined to reduce ambiguity across sources.
Structural separation: category, rank, and allocation mechanics are treated as distinct layers.
Non-advisory discipline: definitions never become instructions, guidance, or predictions.
Institutional anchoring: external sources are limited to primary institutional references.

Definition boundary

Definitions describe structures and relationships (e.g., tiers, ordering, constraints).
Definitions do not describe outcomes for parties in real cases.
Definitions do not specify what a party “should” do.

Source selection rule

Sources must be institutional and stable.
Sources must be linkable directly.
Sources are used to anchor terminology, not to justify advice.
