GATE CATALOG · TECHNICAL STANDARD DETERMINATION
gateTechStandards
Evaluates encoded technical-standard conformance conditions and dependencies used by other domains. It does not issue certifications or institutional authority.
DOMAIN_DETERMINATION_ONLY = true · EXECUTION_AUTHORITY = false · EXECUTION_PERMISSION = false

AUTHORITY BOUNDARY
STANDARD CONFORMANCE IS NOT CERTIFICATION AUTHORITY.
CAN
- deterministically evaluate encoded conditions within the defined domain and scope
- bind determinations to source, input, scope and point-in-time state
- surface missing, expired or conflicting dependencies
- produce attributable evidence for the concrete determination
CANNOT
- replace a legislature, regulator, court, supervisor or other competent institution
- create authority through score, consensus, AI, infrastructure or administration
- turn a gate PASS into an Execution Right on its own
- mint an ExecutionCapabilityToken on its own
DETERMINATION STATE
Determination is evidence. Not authority.
SOURCE
Authoritative source
Relevant authority originates outside the system.
SCOPE
Defined matter
The determination is limited to the encoded matter under review.
TIME
Point-in-time state
Effective dates, transitions, expiry and version state remain explicit.
INPUT
Canonical input
A reproducible determination requires a defined canonical input state.
DEPENDENCY
Dependencies
Missing or contradictory dependencies remain visible rather than becoming invented permission.
EVIDENCE
Bound evidence
The resulting state can be bound to source, input, scope and time for later verification.
EXECUTION RIGHTS
Five dimensions. Domain state can inform them; no gate replaces them.
AAUTHORITY
RRULE
JJURISDICTION
TTIME
DDEPENDENCY
ALL FIVE REQUIRED DIMENSIONS VALID → VALID EXECUTION RIGHT · ANY REQUIRED DIMENSION ABSENT → NO VALID EXECUTION RIGHT → NO CAPABILITY → NO EXECUTION
INVARIANT
A gate result is a determination. Never a permission by itself.
AUTHORITY → DETERMINATION → EXECUTION RIGHTS → CAPABILITY OR NONE → EXECUTION OR NONE → EVIDENCE
