The proposition is stated and justified in Chapter 3, Section 3.5; its mechanism is "executable transformation grammar with invariant checks," its indicator is replay consistency and invariant retention, its baseline is narrative or tacit change procedures, and its falsifier is that replays are non-deterministic or invariants cannot be checked reliably.

The two laws are W(idX) = id{W(X)} and W(g ∘ f) = W(g) ∘ W(f) in the sense of Saunders Mac Lane, Categories for the Working Mathematician, 2nd ed. (New York: Springer, 1998), Definition I.3, 13–14. They hold here by the extension-point token-reservation, identifier-convention, desugaring, and formal-core-immutability clauses of the extensibility contract (EXP-7.6, clauses EC-01, EC-04, EC-08, EC-10) rather than by an independent categorical computation: the notation desugars text under a fixed discipline, and the laws are a consequence of that discipline. The same property grounds the architectural contribution restated in Section 7.20.

Herbert A. Simon, "The Architecture of Complexity," Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 106, no. 6 (1962): 467–482, supplies the stratification rationale: separating concerns into bounded planes within which internal coherence dominates short-run behaviour.

Herbert A. Simon, "The Architecture of Complexity," Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 106, no. 6 (1962): 467–482. Encoding composition as recursive nesting over typed spatial units places PlaniSyn within the shape-computation and dwelling-grammar traditions — Knight's computing with shapes and Duarte's grammar for the Malagueira houses are the nearest precedents — which PlaniSyn extends from purely generative composition to compliance-checkable composition, the point of departure being that each PlaniSyn interaction is bound to a governed-kernel interface contract that the shape-grammar tradition does not require its relations to discharge. See Terry Knight, "Computing with Shapes," Environment and Planning B 30, no. 4 (2003): 499–520, and José P. Duarte, "Towards the Mass Customization of Housing: The Grammar of Siza's Houses at Malagueira," Environment and Planning B 32, no. 3 (2005): 347–380.

Experiment file experiments/recpol-v6/EXP-7.5-hc6-compliance.md, HC-6A assessment: PASS on the representability of the stratified entity vocabulary, relation operators, and nine module types. The assessment was run on the pre-restratification vocabulary; the two terms added under the cognitive primitive–composite–module re-stratification (actor, within_context) inherit the PlaniSyn forms it assessed — the Prerequisite Value Tag keyword and the design-category context binding — so no untested representational target is introduced.

Experiment file experiments/recpol-v6/EXP-6.3-interactive-plane-semantics.md, Stage 2, specifies the three interface-type contracts (IFACE-01 to IFACE-03) that these rules instantiate.

Experiment file experiments/recpol-v6/EXP-7.5-hc6-compliance.md, HC-6D verdict: all three interface types have dedicated verbs, complete semantic specifications, formally specified enforcement rules, and verified test cases.

The predicate-frequency distribution of the 611-clause SDA corpus is reported in Chapter 5; has_quality is the most frequent predicate, which is why the notation gives dimensional and clearance attributes a dedicated parameter family.

The construction extends the multi-entity, three-plane round-trip case RT-05 of experiments/recpol-v6/EXP-7.4-round-trip-fidelity.md with an applied-grammar StretchFit invocation per the generative-constraint semantics of EXP-6.4.

The four-proposition framing (Proposition 1 interoperability, Proposition 2 transportability, Proposition 3 manipulability, Proposition 4 transformability) is established in Chapter 1, Section 1.4; the round-trip-fidelity evidence under Proposition 3 is established at Chapter 7, Section 7.20 (EVID-P3-REPLAY and EVID-P3-INVARIANTS); Chapter 9 contributes the procedural-instantiation operationalisation rather than re-establishing the evidence.

Corpus profile and screening protocol in Chapter 8, Section 8.10; the 745-plan figure is the validated post-screening corpus size after the four-stage extraction-validation pipeline reported there.

The agent-manual extraction protocol, including its rationale and the prohibition on programmatic end-to-end automation for the floor-plan extraction stage, is the canonical extraction method established for the Chapter 8 empirical substrate; the extraction-effort estimate is the working figure governing that substrate's production budget. The corpus is a complete census of the screened plans rather than a probability sample, so the figures reported here are descriptive counts over that census.

The polysemy among SDA-domain terms — on the order of three in five eligible terms — is established empirically in Chapter 5 and grounded theoretically in J. Pustejovsky, The Generative Lexicon, MIT Press, 1995.

The foundational capability claims this family inherits are established by T. B. Brown et al., "Language models are few-shot learners," in Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 33 (NeurIPS 2020), 2020, arXiv:2005.14165; R. Bommasani et al., "On the opportunities and risks of foundation models," Stanford Center for Research on Foundation Models, 2021, arXiv:2108.07258, which explicitly catalogues regulatory and compliance-adjacent documentation among the deployment domains of non-trivial risk; and OpenAI, "GPT-4 technical report," 2023, arXiv:2303.08774. The argument depends not on any single application paper but on the architectural pattern they collectively share — generative emission without an enforced governance contract over the substrate from which the emission is drawn.

The entry corpus is described in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md; the schema is specified in Chapter 6, Section 6.4.

The PlaniSyn applied grammar and the underlying RecPol formal core are specified jointly in Chapter 7; see particularly Chapter 7, Section 7.13 for the three-layer architecture, the seven-tag grammar, and the four interaction types whose syntactic forms the validator references.

The current state of SDA provenance integration is documented in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md Section 5; numbered SDA clause identifiers are surfaced for SAN-FA-01 (inline at Chapter 6, Section 6.4) but not yet for the eight bundled FA entries, which cite at the FA typology edge level pending a subsequent audit pass.

C. Y. Baldwin and K. B. Clark, Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000), Ch. 3 ("What is Modularity?") and Ch. 5 ("Design Rules: The Six Modular Operators"). Baldwin and Clark's distinction between visible design rules (which coordinate independent work) and hidden module parameters (which can vary locally) is the structural precedent for positioning the pipeline as a hidden-parameter implementation conforming to the visible design rules supplied by the standardisation schema, the Governed Kernel Architecture, and the notation; the engine those rules govern is developed in Chapter 6.

The methodological asymmetry between SAN-FA-01 (which cites numbered SDA clauses D4.1, D4.2, D4.3, D4.6, D4.8) and the eight bundled FA entries (which cite at the FA typology edge level pending a subsequent audit pass) is documented in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md Section 5. Each entry's provenance trail and abstract callout repeat the honesty note for standalone reading.

(Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2018), Ch. 1 ("BIM Handbook Introduction") and Ch. 4 ("BIM Design Tools and Parametric Modeling"). Eastman and colleagues describe the parametric-component library as the operational vehicle for component reuse across BIM projects, and they document the recurrent pattern in which a component's parameters are insufficient to encode regulatory commitments, so the compliance check is deferred to a downstream rule-engine pass rather than carried within the component itself.

Habraken, The Structure of the Ordinary: Form and Control in the Built Environment (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1998). Habraken's foundational distinction between Support (long-life capacity) and Infill (short-life configuration) supplies the structural precedent for treating the library as a capacity layer on which a population of design instances is configured.

S. H. Kendall, "Open Building: An Abbreviated History and a Look Forward," Open House International, ahead-of-print (2025), doi: 10.1108/OHI-05-2025-0185. Kendall's contemporary survey identifies the standardised-interface discipline as the operational mechanism through which Open Building's capacity layer makes downstream configuration feasible.

C. Y. Baldwin and K. B. Clark, Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000), Ch. 3 ("What is Modularity?") and Ch. 5 ("Design Rules: The Six Modular Operators"). Baldwin and Clark's distinction between visible design rules (which coordinate independent work across module boundaries) and hidden module parameters (which can vary locally without destabilising the system) supplies the theoretical structure within which the library's entries function as platform-conformant complements.

Chuck Eastman, Paul Teicholz, Rafael Sacks, and Ghang Lee, BIM Handbook, 3rd ed. (Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2018), Ch. 7 ("BIM and Building Codes and Regulations") and Ch. 9 ("BIM for Sustainability and Building Performance Analysis"). The chapters survey the design and operational characteristics of the standards-formalisation programmes that have populated the BIM ecosystem since the early 2000s and identify the pre-vetted entry pool as a recurrent precondition for schema-driven generation.

J. Dimyadi and R. Amor, "Automated Building Code Compliance Checking — Where is It At?," in Proceedings of the 19th CIB World Building Congress, Brisbane 2013, eds. S. Kajewski, K. Manley, and K. Hampson (Brisbane: Queensland University of Technology, 2013), 172–185. Dimyadi and Amor's survey establishes that automated compliance checking depends on a curated, schema-conformant entry pool; the pre-vetted library is our instantiation of that precondition for the SDA-aligned dwelling-design domain.

Per-entry line counts and provenance citation tallies are recorded in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idxappendix.md Section 2 ("File Manifest"); the manifest records eight of eight entries with constraintstatus: true substantiation and nine of nine module types covered at the FA category. The counts reported here are descriptive over the populated set, which is a complete census of the FA-category entries authored to date rather than a sample.

The reproduction protocol is recorded in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md Section 4 ("Reproduction Notes"). The eight bundled entries were authored against a fixed substrate of six input documents — the Chapter 6 module library specification, the constituent elements specification, the module taxonomy, the interaction rules, and two FA typology graph files. Honest provenance gaps are surfaced in each entry rather than fabricated as clause identifiers not present in the source.

C. Y. Baldwin and K. B. Clark, Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000), Ch. 3 ("What is Modularity?") and Ch. 5 ("Design Rules: The Six Modular Operators"). The minimum-dependency runtime is the prototype's instantiation of Baldwin and Clark's hidden-parameter discipline: the implementation may evolve freely beneath the pipeline's stage boundaries provided the visible design rules — the inter-stage contracts of Section 9.6 and the documentation-packet schema specified below — remain stable.

The PlaniSyn production rules are specified jointly in Chapter 7; see in particular Chapter 7, Section 7.13 for the seven-tag grammar and the four interaction types whose syntactic forms the transformer references. The full EBNF parser is deferred to subsequent work; the prototype implements the minimum-viable subset sufficient to consume baseline-library sda_provenance fields and emit structured predicates.

The interface-obligations detector was extended per the procedural-evidence work items AGENT-EXT-8 and R2-Ch9-SW-02.

Each scope-limit is recorded as a declared future-work direction in Section 9.27 and traced to the requirements register at Supplementary Requirements–Design–Evaluation Traceability Matrix. The scope-limits are properties of the declared instantiation-depth scope rather than defects of the prototype's logic.

The procedural-level round-trip test is implemented at tests/test_roundtrip.py, added per the procedural-evidence work items AGENT-EXT-7 and R2-Ch9-SW-01.

The HC-8C interaction-rule register is contracted on the census required-adjacency structure of Chapter 8, Section 8.33: the 49 hard pairs the 745-plan census realises as reliably co-located required adjacencies, together with 50 soft pairs carried as preference weights. The avoidance signals — category pairs co-present yet never realised as adjacent — are a codification-development observation from an earlier pilot codification that recorded full co-presence; they are carried as soft dispreferences rather than hard exclusions, because the finalised census records co-presence only through realised adjacency and so has no co-presence denominator with which to re-confirm an absent class at scale (Chapter 8, Section 8.40, sensitivity finding S5-3). The present chapter's interface-conformance verdicts rest on the census hard interior; no verdict is grounded in a dispreference signal, so the descriptive, pilot-stage-bounded status of those signals propagates no change into the table below.

Per-run JSON log at experiments/ch10-synthetic-trajectory/runlogs/ch10-trajectory-emit-20260507T120120Z.json records sub-second per-packet emission across the seven packets and validationok: true for each.

Variation-governance evidence is drawn from a four-case cohort of distinct module-instance scenarios (the office class at E3→4; the Robust bedroom and sanitary variants at E4→5b; and the multi-dwelling-site composition at E4→5b), sufficient to demonstrate the exception-typing discipline within the six-event corpus; broader exception-taxonomy coverage is registered as future work.

Rated HIGH because trace completeness reaches one hundred per cent at the predicate-list level across all seven states with bi-directional traceability under the four sub-criteria of mapping, soundness, completeness at declared scope, and bi-directionality; the structural reason for HIGH rather than MODERATE is that the predicate-list axis is fully exercised across the trajectory's regulatory expansion at the Fully-Accessible-to-Robust fork without schema-level modification.

Rated HIGH because each of the six transformation events bounds verification scope strictly within the modules touched by the transformation, with cross-module checks bounded by the Section 6.3 interaction rules; the structural reason for HIGH rather than MODERATE is that no event triggers a global re-walk and the bounded-scope property holds at the fork's largest single perturbation.

Rated MODERATE rather than HIGH because the demonstration exercises a single-fork trajectory — one substrate, one bifurcation at S4 — rather than a multi-trajectory cohort; the single-fork scope is structurally narrower than multi-trajectory validation and is recorded as future-work item FW-05.

Structurally required rather than discretionary: the candidate-as-arbiter scope under which the per-event burden trace is gathered precludes the practitioner-cohort comparator a generalised burden claim would require, and the matched-task baseline is reasoned analytically rather than executed against an external cohort; the reason for DECLARED-LIMITED rather than SUPPORTED is the absence of the external comparator, not the absence of evidence within the candidate-driven scope.
