0. Status, function, and source discipline

A term is permitted only when its discriminator conditions remain visible. Terms naming closure, unknown, power, responsibility, trust, warrant, formalisation, governance, method-use, certification, compliance, or authority must not carry strength beyond the recoverable conditions in the owning paper.

0.1 Canonical source-lock register

Paper keys 3a-1 <https://goto-go.com/machine/documents/got-v1-3a-1/> to 3c-8 <https://goto-go.com/machine/documents/got-v1-3c-8/> abbreviate the full GOT-V1 identifiers below. Section locators refer to the numbered headings in the Issue 1 papers; endnote locators use their Arabic note numbers. SHA16 records the first 16 hexadecimal characters of SHA-256.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r18
Term: Responsibility Warrant
Controlled definition: Social, moral, legal, organisational, or institutional allocation of answerability, duty, burden, liability, or decision ownership.
Canonical home / type: 3b-4 | Allocation
Relationship and guardrail: May be legitimate without being Responsibility Provenance.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r19
Term: Primitive Trust
Controlled definition: Reliance closure under residual by which a finite locus reduces repeated audit enough to continue.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Reliance
Relationship and guardrail: Trust is not certainty, proof, belief, moral goodness, or automatic warrant.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r20
Term: Primitive audit
Controlled definition: Relation-revalidation that reopens a backgrounded trust relation when mismatch, stakes, anomaly, or changed condition makes reduced audit insufficient.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Correction
Relationship and guardrail: Trust and audit are complementary, not opposites.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r21
Term: Reliance closure
Controlled definition: Purpose-indexed closure sufficient for dependence, continuation, delegation, inference, or action.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Soft Horizon
Relationship and guardrail: Must carry residual and update.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r22
Term: Branch-space economy
Controlled definition: Reduction in repeated checking work that lets a finite locus navigate dependencies.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Function
Relationship and guardrail: Efficiency does not create epistemic strength.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r23

Controlled definition: Condition at which reliance is satisfactory enough for the relying locus’s closure demand.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Threshold
Relationship and guardrail: Need not be probabilistic or interpersonal.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r24
Term: Trust relation
Controlled definition: Indexed relation among relying locus, target relation, carrier, closure demand, residual, threshold, safeguard where relevant, and update.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Architecture
Relationship and guardrail: Trust is always trust of some relation under conditions.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r25
Term: Trust carrier
Controlled definition: Person, role, record, credential, procedure, institution, instrument, model, interface, certificate, standard, archive, platform, or machine output through which reliance-strength travels.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Carrier
Relationship and guardrail: Carrier is not trust ground by default.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r26
Term: Vicarious trust
Controlled definition: Reliance in which another locus or carrier’s closure process satisfies part of the relying locus’s closure demand.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Outsourced closure
Relationship and guardrail: Borrowed closure carries residual and does not transfer responsibility provenance.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r27
Term: Borrowed closure
Controlled definition: Closure-work performed elsewhere and relied upon locally.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Reliance

Term: Epistemic Authority
Controlled definition: Defeasible standing of a claim, distinction, or closure-process to guide judgement or reliance, earned through demonstrated preservation of a specified target relation under stated availability conditions and closure demand.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 §8 | Epistemic standing
Relationship and guardrail: Preferential reliance between loci requires demonstrated advantage for a shared target relation and comparable closure demand, preserved through the carrier path. Relative advantage may remain insufficient for use. Trust, confidence, permission, or consequence does not create the standing.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r29
Term: Structural Authority
Controlled definition: Permission or mandate to act or decide within a specified scope, conferred or recognised by an organised information-processing structure.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 §8 | Minimum authority distinction
Relationship and guardrail: Structural Authority does not establish Epistemic Authority, and Epistemic Authority does not itself confer Structural Authority. Further development belongs to Volume 2; 3c-7 §6 applies the distinction to custody and domain use.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t07-r30
Term: Trust laundering
Controlled definition: Transfer of reliance-strength from a trusted carrier or context to a relation that did not earn equivalent closure.

Term: Mistrust
Controlled definition: Reliance relation distorted by an inaccurate or misclosed model of the target/carrier.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Failure

Term: Trust repair
Controlled definition: Restoration, narrowing, or refusal of reduced audit through correction of the failed relation and its safeguards/update conditions.
Canonical home / type: 3b-5 | Repair

Term: Non-auditability
Controlled definition: Condition where a load-bearing relation/path cannot be recovered strongly enough for the closure demand being made.

Controlled definition: Present auditable structures used to implement proposed constitutional burdens.
Canonical home / type: 3c-7 | Governance level

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t08-r17
Term: Proposed constitutional elements
Controlled definition: Highest-level proposed burdens intended to govern how the method remains relation-preserving and corrigible.
Canonical home / type: 3c-7 | Governance level
Relationship and guardrail: The word constitutional does not make an element immune to demonstrated failure.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t08-r18
Term: Custodial authority
Controlled definition: Application of Structural Authority to stewardship of releases, archives, amendment histories, dissent, residual registers, provenance, and fork comparisons.
Canonical home / type: 3c-7 §6 | Governance application; inherits 3b-5 §8

Controlled definition: Application of Structural Authority within a particular institution or domain under its mandate and operating conditions.
Canonical home / type: 3c-7 §6 | Governance application; inherits 3b-5 §8

Relationship and guardrail: The method itself is a Soft Horizon and remains corrigible.

RECORD got-v1-part-3-support-glossary-t08-r34
Term: Action under residual
Controlled definition: Permitted action where threshold and safeguards justify continuation before stronger closure.
Canonical home / type: 3a-2/3c-8 | Action output

3. Release checklist

• Every controlled Part 3 term has an owning canonical paper.

• Section 3a terms are not retrospectively defined through Section 3b/3c vocabulary.

• CIF and CE remain Power-specific unless a later claim explicitly engages that architecture.

• Responsibility Provenance and Responsibility Warrant remain distinct.

• Trust carrier remains distinct from trust ground and from Responsibility Provenance.

• Formalisation structures remain technical carriers rather than epistemic certificates.

• Epistemic Authority and Structural Authority retain their canonical home in 3b-5 §8 <https://goto-go.com/machine/documents/got-v1-3b-5/#got-v1-3b-5-h-8>. Custodial and operational authority remain downstream governance applications in 3c-7 §6 <https://goto-go.com/machine/documents/got-v1-3c-7/#got-v1-3c-7-h-6>.

• The Epistemic Method integrates but does not erase local discriminators.
