Test For Situating Claims

Given a claim C and a context X:

1. Enumerate the operations O that X actually performs.
2. For each o ∈ O, ask: does C constrain o?
3. If C constrains nothing, mark C = decorative.
4. If C constrains o but is never consulted, mark C = ceremonial.
5. If C is consulted but violations are tolerated, mark C = aspirational.
6. If violations cause repair, mark C = operative.
7. If repair changes X’s future structure, mark C = structural.
8. Only structural claims may be exported.
9. All others decay locally.
