4. The Four-Pillar Quadrilateral & Non-Claims

Every contract in simplex-normal-forms is evaluated against the Four-Pillar Quadrilateral defined in contracts/_golden_nfs/standard.yaml:

Pillar	Requirement	Contract Specification for nf.experimental.quantum_observer_ontology
Pillar I: Excludes Anomaly	Name and eliminate a specific class of data or state defects.	ontology_laundering; illicit_global_state; hidden_state_smuggling; unmeasured_property_laundering; branch_ontology_laundering; information_ontology_laundering
Pillar II: Preserves Invariant	State the structural invariant and protected skeleton preserved across transitions.	Invariant: local_observer_packets_do_not_authorize_global_state_without_gluing_witness Protected Skeleton: ['observer', 'representation_regime', 'measurement_or_projection_boundary', 'finite_observable_packet', 'comparison_or_gluing_rule', 'residual_policy']
Pillar III: Lossless Reconstruction	State the non-loss reconstruction operator (join, direct sum, pullback, or replay).	Lossless reconstruction under declared projection, direct sum, or pullback operators.
Pillar IV: Syntactic Decidability	State how conformance is decided from declared constraints without unbudgeted scans.	Decidable from declared schema and witness metadata within bounded evaluation budgets.

Explicit Non-Claims (certified_implies_authorized: false)

5. Operational Verification & Terminal Routing

5.1 Required Declarations

• observer
• representation_regime
• measurement_or_projection_boundary
• finite_observable_packet
• comparison_or_gluing_rule
• residual_policy

5.2 Required Evidence

• terminal_event_or_refusal
• projection_witness
• loss_or_branch_ledger_if_applicable

5.3 Validation Criteria

Criterion ID	Name	Condition
criterion	Check	local_observer_packets_do_not_authorize_global_state_without_gluing_witness
criterion	Check	hidden_state_explanations_require_projection_dynamics_and_nonlocality_ledgers
criterion	Check	unmeasured_representations_do_not_count_as_measured_authority
criterion	Check	branch_decompositions_require_observer_localization_decoherence_and_measure_rules
criterion	Check	information_claims_require_encoding_observer_record_and_realization_maps

5.4 Terminal Route Map

Every evaluation terminates in a declared local route mapped to a canonical terminal in standard.yaml:

Local Terminal Route	Canonical Terminal
Lift	Lift
Quarantine	Quarantine
Refuse	Refuse
Abstain	Abstain

5.5 Declared Failure Modes

All defects route explicitly through the Terminal Route Map above.

6. Epistemic Claim Hygiene Quadrant

In accordance with the repository's epistemic claim discipline:

1. What it supports:
   • Supports syntactic and operational checking of nf.experimental.quantum_observer_ontology (QONF) against its declared schema, boundary constraints, and witness obligations in this model.
   • Supports deterministic terminal routing (Lift, Quarantine, Refuse, Abstain) when required declarations or invariants fail.
2. What it does not support:
   • Does not confer operational authority (AuthorityEffect: None, certified_implies_authorized: false).
   • Does not claim semantic truth of undeclared external processes or unverified upstream inputs beyond the declaredprotected skeleton.
3. The narrowest defensible claim:
   • Within the declared substrate at_rest, this contract enforces that ontology_laundering; illicit_global_state; hidden_state_smuggling; unmeasured_property_laundering; branch_ontology_laundering; information_ontology_laundering is either excluded under local_observer_packets_do_not_authorize_global_state_without_gluing_witness or routed to an explicit refusal/recovery terminal.
4. The next test needed:
   • Property-based falsification and mutation testing across boundary edge cases and composed multi-step pipelines for nf.experimental.quantum_observer_ontology.
