Specification defines obligations for bounded systems to verify lineages and demonstrate core criteria.
Companion to: Question Lineages: A Cross-Disciplinary Theory of Identity, Persistence, and Realization, 10.5281/zenodo.21740558 (Tisler, 2026) Purpose: Define what any bounded, auditable system must demonstrate in order to physically instantiate question lineages, verify C1-C5, demonstrate C6, and execute C7. This specification is implementation-independent. It states obligations, scenarios, acceptance criteria, and failure conditions. It does not state how any particular implementation satisfies them.
