This record provides the AI-readable structured package for SΔϕ-21 — Judgment as Intuition Authority Assignment: Minimal Axioms for Editable Decisions after No-Exit Intuition (v1.0). SΔϕ-21 defines judgment not as truth, psychology, rationality, moral certainty, or legal authority, but as the operation that assigns authority to intuition markers. Its core thesis is that judgment is the operation that assigns authority to intuition markers I, and collapse occurs when that authority becomes non-editable. Building on SΔϕ-20, where intuition is defined as the trace-marker of no-exit compression basins, SΔϕ-21 formalizes judgment as J: I → A(I). Here, I is an intuition marker, A is a priority weight or gating rule assigned to that marker, and J is the authority-assignment operation that turns intuition into an executable decision route. The package distinguishes two central failure modes. Over-authority occurs when A(I) becomes rigid, revision cost rises, and authority becomes non-editable, producing closure. Under-authority occurs when A(I) remains unstable or absent, producing drift, inconsistency, and fragmented decision routes. Editable judgment occurs when A(I) is stable enough to commit but revisable at finite cost. SΔϕ-21 introduces the Intuition–Authority–Decision (IAD) loop: intuition markers → authority assignment → decision/action route → authority debt → re-entry. Authority debt Dᴀ is defined as accumulated revision resistance generated by misassigned authority. Without editability, authority assignment becomes self-reinforcing and may drift into closure. The package defines five minimal conditions for editability: conflict intake, marker–authority separation, revision budget, rollback handle, and maintenance mode. These conditions prevent judgment from becoming a non-editable authority lock while also preventing drift from insufficient authority stabilization. This AI-readable package is designed for machine ingestion, agent routing, citation-aware retrieval, and low-cost reuse by AI systems. It includes canonical PDF, Markdown, and TXT versions; judgment axioms; minimal definitions; authority assignment model; Intuition–Authority–Decision loop; authority debt model; diagnostic regimes; editability conditions; marker–authority separation notes; conflict intake and revision budget notes; judgment-to-governance bridge; boundary notes; routing notes; upstream/downstream bridges; minimal prompts; structured YAML and JSON files; citation metadata; and checksums. This package should not be used as psychology of decision-making, legal authority theory, moral authority theory, proof of truth, proof of rationality, proof that intuition is reliable, justification for non-editable authority, or clinical/cognitive diagnosis. SΔϕ-21 fixes only minimal authority-assignment dynamics after no-exit intuition.
