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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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-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

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 . Custodial and operational authority remain downstream governance applications in 3c-7 §6 .
• The Epistemic Method integrates but does not erase local discriminators.
