Dependent Loops — Comparison and Boundary Matrix

Status: draft Content canon status: unset

| Concept | Decision | Boundary | |---|---|---| | Derived loop | Retain | Dependent on prior, lower, or outer conditions; not lesser or unreal | | Constitutional substrate | Retain | Material, semantic, relational, institutional, telic, and capacity conditions | | Telic compatibility | Retain | Compatible purpose, standing, authority, capacity, and repair—not cultural sameness | | Telic incompatibility | Retain | Intended loop cannot be sustained without systematic coercion, drift, or substrate harm | | Telic transplant failure | Retain | Imported form fails to establish the intended operative loop | | Constitutional substrate mismatch | Retain | Required governance and standing conditions are absent or incompatible | | Teleological graft rejection | Lineage/essay only | Biological metaphor; prohibit essentialist or xenophobic use | | Hidden outer-loop recruitment | Retain | Local participation supplies an undisclosed outer purpose | | Isomorphic mimicry | Adopt established term | Appearance of capability without operative capability | | Premature load bearing | Adopt established term | Demands exceed the substrate and capacity available | | Operative telos | Retain | Purpose inferred from what the loop restores under conflict; not hidden consciousness | | Telic drift | Retain | Operative purpose changes without adequate witness or reconsent | | Constitutional fork | Retain provisionally | Lineage-preserving separation of legitimately incompatible paths | | Residual state | Retain | Data, models, habits, obligations, categories, and effects remaining after operation | | Dissolution | Retain | Governed end of recruitment and authority; broader than shutdown | | Aftercare loop | Adopt provisionally | Narrow successor for claims, repair, archives, or monitoring |
