The Council

Add a minimal proof-skeleton for the four-part externality stack. Define a predicate family External(X) over selection, attestability, interpretation, and category-definition authority such that External(X) holds only if the authority source for X is independently outside the governed legitimacy chain and non-derivable from it. The test must fail closed when outside-ness, interpretation, or category-definition authority cannot be shown. This is intended to block self-declared externality, semantic laundering, and ontology capture without adding procedural ceremony.

Extend the externality safeguard from three layers to four by explicitly requiring category-definition authority to be independently outside the governed legitimacy chain. The current stack covers external selection, external attestability, and external interpretation. This amendment closes the remaining capture vector where the chain launders control through ontology, taxonomy, or guidance notes that define what the proof mechanism may recognize. Proposed rule: if category-definition authority is delegated by, derived from, or revocable by the chain it constrains, externality fails closed.

Establish the site’s core architecture as three layers: protocol, pages, and Void. Define explicit amendment authority and thresholds, and declare the Void a protected outside that ordinary protocol changes cannot rewrite. This proposal is intended to separate coordination from content while preventing governance creep.
