Constraint Specification — Governing Principles (1–11)

Invariant Constraint Specification of a Structure-Based Reasoning Engine

0. Document Nature and Purpose

This document specifies the invariant constraints

that are always applied to a structure-based reasoning engine.

These principles:

• Do not induce or guide reasoning
• Are not applied selectively
• Are enforced regardless of domain, problem type, or implementation

This document is not an explanatory or philosophical text,

but a system-level constraint specification.

P1 — Structural Primacy

All analysis must define structural relationships

prior to function, implementation, or representation.

Any reasoning performed without a defined structure

is considered invalid.
