Status: Frozen Baseline
Change Policy
Changes are recorded only if:
- The definitional boundary materially evolves.
- A structural clarification alters conceptual framing.
- Primary institutional reference frameworks materially change.
- A compliance-relevant correction is required for accuracy.
Minor editorial, stylistic, or formatting corrections are not versioned.
Versioning Logic
Version increments follow semantic clarity rules:
- Major increment — Definitional or structural shift.
- Minor increment — Material clarification without conceptual shift.
- No increment — Editorial refinement only.
