The boundary-decision protocol

At any specific decision, seven questions.

What coupling is being read. Whose lives the spill runs through, and how unevenly. What the aggregate load is at the shared resolution, even where each act looks small. Which proxies are in use and where they disagree. What the reading can and cannot honestly cover. What the lightest sufficient correction is. What audit the decision is bound to, fixed before it runs.

Run all seven honestly and the reading is honest. Skip one and it has left the geometry.
