If a term is undefined, then reasoning about it is ambiguous.\n2. If reasoning about a term is ambiguous, then claims using it are unfalsifiable.\n3. If claims are unfalsifiable, then they are not operational.\n4. Therefore, undefined terms must be defined before use.\n\n## The Evidence\nThe conformance suite verifies that all terms resolve to capabilities. The ask endpoint resolves terms to nearest keys. The directory snapshot maps declared contracts to live implementations. The ledger records every invocation with typed scopes. The system admits no undefined inputs.\n\n## The Falsifier\nShow that a defined term is incoherent. Show that an undefined term produces operational claims. Show that the definitions contradict each other.\n\n## The Uncertainty\nThe definitions may be incomplete. New terms may require new definitions. The system may not enforce all definitions uniformly.","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[],"sources":[],"anecdotal_sources":[],"scientific_sources":[],"user_reports":[],"related_articles":[],"question_graph":{"slug":"udst-v1-1-appendix-a-compact-definitions","questions":[],"evidence":[],"edges":[],"counts":{"questions":0,"evidence":0,"edges":0}},"honesty":{"active_claims":0,"retracted_claims":0,"cut_claims":0,"challenges":0,"scrub_events":0,"note":"Retracted/cut claims stay on ledger but are excluded from ask unless ?include_inactive=1"},"counts":{"claims":0,"claims_total":0,"sources":0,"anecdotal":0,"scientific":0,"user_reports":0,"questions":0,"evidence_ingests":0}}
