This paper develops a preliminary Generative Relational formalization of mediator nomos formation under heterogeneous social-contract conditions. The inquiry is conditional: it asks what additional relational architecture may be required when contract-based justification is retained although the participating subjects do not begin with a fully shared nomos. Building on an earlier GR diagnosis of contract-formative capacity, cross-nomic manifestation, and inter-nomic mediation, the analysis proposes a formation mechanism using existing GR objects: accumulated relational history, active relational boundaries, effective nomos, manifestation-relative distinctions, admissibility, and state-dependent transformations. Repeated cross-subject interaction can change the configuration from which later operations are instantiated. When interaction-conditioned uptake becomes persistent, organizes the cross-subject relation, and changes later admissibility or transformation, the resulting structure can be identified as a derived mediator nomos. Four stylized genealogies locate different formation burdens: first-contact bootstrapping in human–alien interaction, revision of inherited mediation in human–other-animal relations, differentiation within a human-seeded interface in human–AI relations, and recursive co-evolution in AI–AI interaction. Category-theoretic representation enters after stabilization through restricted source-side domains, mediator-relative coherence, and explicit untranslated remainders. The contract construction then shows, within the formal model, that the existence of a locally coherent and realization-supported contract-formative corridor is compatible with substantial untranslated nomic structure. The framework remains structural and model-relative; empirical prevalence, ontological identity, consent, justice, and legitimacy require additional evidence or normative argument.
