This document fixes the canonical placement of core constructs used across the author’s technical notes, working papers, and protocol releases. It establishes a non-normative, pre-analytical stance for rendering rule-dense institutional structures visible prior to evaluation.
The declaration defines Structural Fiscalistics (SF) as the discipline layer; Fiscal Epistemology (FE) as the admissibility gate; Fiscal Geometry (FG) as the coordinate-based visibility layer; the Cabinet–Drawer Model (CDM) as the intra-system articulation layer; and the Institutional Tension Field (ITF) as the field-condition descriptor. The canonical stack order is fixed to prevent conceptual drift in indexing, citation, and cross-document reuse.
Version 2.0 introduces an executable interface specification. A minimum input schema (4-3-3-2 format) defines required fields for machine-readable case encoding, preserving comparability and preventing narrative substitution. A function definition under a going-concern constraint separates cross-border fiscal inputs (X) and intergenerational post-tax capacity inputs (Y), producing reproducible readouts without prescribing a specific algorithm.
Output interpretation is governed by explicit rules, including cross-case ordering, directional sensitivity under controlled perturbations, interface-level concentration flags, and non-negotiable reproducibility and audit constraints. These rules function as acceptance criteria for detecting drift and ensuring stable readouts across implementations.
Appendix A provides a Ground Truth set of representative cases used as validation anchors. Appendix B provides a standardized encoding template for consistent input construction across cases.
This document is descriptive and non-evaluative. It does not assess outcomes, assign fault, or recommend reforms.
