Protocol

Present steps in order with required inputs, outputs, stop conditions, and a rollback or correction path.

A protocol is reproducible only to the extent that its inputs, versions, assumptions, and decision rules are fixed.

Applied scope: A counterexample to entailment is a case where premises are true and the conclusion false.

authority

Definition and operating context

The canonical concept owner is maha-research. This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.

This property may publish research objects, machine-readable provenance, reproduction protocols. It must not publish sales copy or unsupported interpretation.

evidence

Evidence and exact locators

forall x: Calgary — An Introduction to Formal Logic — Chapter 2, validity and counterexample cases. Establishes: A counterexample to entailment is a case where premises are true and the conclusion false.

limitations

What the evidence does not establish

One counterexample refutes the corresponding universal or entailment claim; it does not establish a replacement theory or refute a narrower claim.

This route must not claim sales copy.

This route must not claim unsupported interpretation.
