Status of these claims#

What this publication does not claim, and what is outstanding against it in the register.

A question this rests on is parked: What counts as complete state for a cluster?

We do not claim a defined completeness boundary for cluster state; we claim the criteria in DEL-06 and nothing beyond them.

A question this rests on is parked: What secession premium will members bear?

We publish no pricing and no affordability claim, and we do not assert that members value the secession guarantee.

A question this rests on is parked: What do we do with an application that refuses to run inside the boundary?

We do not claim that a member's existing applications can be made to run inside the boundary. We claim only that the boundary reveals which ones cannot.

A question this rests on is open: Does secession capability actually convert a buyer?

What this publication rests on, and how solid each part of it is. The blueprint is a specification, and this page describes it as one.

What it does not have#

No external citations. This publication cites no studies, no reports and no outside sources, and this page does not manufacture any. Its claims either derive from the constitution this project is built on, or from evidence recorded inside the corpus, or they are the reasoning of the document itself. Each is separated below.

What it derives from#

Foundational documents. These are positions this project has taken, not findings.

Record What it is Status
CON-01 Purpose draft v0.1
SUB-00 Substrate requirements — preamble draft v0.1

Evidence#

None. This publication references no evidence record. That is the correct description of what it is rather than a gap: it is a specification, reasoning from the foundational documents above rather than reporting a measurement. Where it states a number, that number is marked in the text as what it is.
