Where it would die · 5 switches

Five claims carry this chapter.

APP-2.1Show that classifying an action as stabilising or destabilising needs a value premise the axiom does not supply, and the chapter has smuggled one.

APP-2.2Derive a different ordering of correction from the same four conditions that restabilises more cleanly, and the hierarchy is wrong.

APP-2.3Exhibit a case where removal is structurally preferred over an available, sufficient, timely, cheaper lower level, and removal is not the last resort.

APP-2.4Show that bias auditing cannot be done structurally at any resolution, and the third condition fails.

APP-2.5Produce a class of harm the five levels do not span, or where a level does worse than no correction, or where the ordering reverses with no emergency, slope or override condition to absorb it. Then the hierarchy is partial or wrongly ordered.

Every switch above is filed, with its status, in the registry. The registry writes them KS-APP2.1 to KS-APP2.5. What a kill switch is: Where It Would Die, on the wall.
