Telic Fields HI-4 — Temporal Standing, Commitment, and Succession

Parent lineage: The Telic Field Papers

Source artifacts

I.4 technical branch

• I.4 temporal standing, commitment, and succession specification
• Temporal standing and authority matrix
• Commitment lifecycle and release matrix
• Succession and inherited obligation matrix

H.4 public branch

• H.4 The Present Is Not the Whole Timeline

Gate, validation, and export

• HI-4 gate review
• HI-4 validation report
• HI-4 negative conformance fixtures
• HI-4 validation results
• HI-4 validation runner
• HI-4 temporal witness export

Positive demonstrations and temporal records

• PD-1 present action preserves later option
• PD-2 valid commitment binds within scope
• PD-3 changed conditions trigger review
• PD-4 stale projection loses authority
• PD-5 consent expires without erasing witness
• PD-6 future standing blocks irreversible action
• PD-7 successor inherits obligations, not unlimited authority
• PD-8 temporal breach repair and release
• Personal continuity record
• Temporal centers
• Temporal event stream
• Generated temporal decision witness

I.4 candidate schemas

The eleven candidate schema sources are preserved under the standard-named source directory, with the SCHEMA__CANDIDATE__I-4 prefix: commitment record, commitment review/release, continuity relation, future-standing assessment, irreversibility/option profile, succession obligation, temporal breach repair, temporal center reference, temporal consent authority, temporal decision witness, and temporal state-change event.

Intake archive

• Complete HI-4 intake package

Package SHA-256: 4e0a0db2c7670bbac56ec7678256cf74e038574bd4266e2e1aaed493324eaa4a

The complete package and its independent temporal-witness export passed their internal SHA-256 manifests before installation. The standard-named copies are byte-preserving source copies; the inbound ZIP and extracted contents remain in the intake archive.

Working focus

HI-4 completes I.4 and H.4 as a phase-locked pass. It treats continuity as persistence of relevant standing without requiring sameness; distinguishes future standing from future consent; scopes commitments; triggers review when conditions change; lets stale projections lose authority; expires consent without erasing its witness; preserves options before irreversible action; and defines present standing, release, succession, inherited obligation, and temporal breach repair.

The package reports eleven candidate schemas, eight positive demonstrations, twelve negative conformance fixtures, a bitemporal DecisionWitness, an independent temporal export, and zero technical/public contradictions. These are structural and internal semantic validations, not clinical assessment, legal authority, production security, cryptographic enforcement, scientific validity, or public-reader comprehension.

Gate and boundaries

HI-4 is complete at v0.1 with a PASS WITH CONDITIONS gate. Remaining conditions include domain-specific continuity and future-standing thresholds, authenticated commitments and consent, irreversible-option enforcement, expiry at credential and tool layers, successor data access, a bitemporal production store, and independent reader testing.

The I.4 specification, H.4 page, matrices, schemas, demonstrations, fixtures, and export remain working/candidate artifacts. Installation does not make them canonical or production specifications.

Roadmap transition

The next paired pass is HI-5:

• I.5 Dependency, Drift, Lock-In, and Dissolution Specification
• H.5 Is the Loop Still Serving Its Purpose?

HI-5 should remain phase-locked through dependency, support burden, hidden recruitment, drift, lock-in, fork, exit, succession, dissolution, and residual obligations.
