Statement

Two occurrences with the same anchor, one answered and one carried by a single transition, have accounts with fates `{answered}` and `{live}`. Occurrence identity lives outside the content type and the accounting is occurrence-indexed; an exact witness that equal content does not collapse debts.

Source

projects/normativity/CLAIMS.md, entry legitimacy.multiplicity-witness (class lean-proved, status superseded, origin round 2026-09-06-mathematical-consolidation; answers item 78). Documentation: verification: projects/normativity/legitimacy/rounds/2026-09-06-mathematical-consolidation/THEOREMS.md; context: projects/normativity/legitimacy/rounds/2026-09-06-mathematical-consolidation/CONSOLIDATION.md. The signature of Workspace.Normativity.Contrib.OccurrenceIntegrity.Witness.distinct_fates in lean/Workspace/Normativity/Contrib/OccurrenceIntegrity.lean.

Notes

Filed by the map-as-canonical round (prompts/2026-10-22-map-as-canonical) from the registry entry and the declaration's signature; its hypotheses are unread (ruling F1, 2026-10-23): the record's Source carries the signature verbatim, and a reader files the hypothesis leaves. Registry note: Two occurrences with the same anchor, one answered and one carried by a single transition, have accounts with fates {answered} and {live}. Occurrence identity lives outside the content type and the accounting is occurrence-indexed; an exact witness that equal content does not collapse debts. Superseded 2026-09-25 by integrity.multiplicity-witness; the declaration name is kept resolving by a deprecated alias for one release. The registry's answers_item is the priorities pointer to item 78 (ruling F2).

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by integrity-and-record.

Declaration Workspace.Normativity.Contrib.OccurrenceIntegrity.Witness.distinct_fates in lean/Workspace/Normativity/Contrib/OccurrenceIntegrity.lean (record legitimacy.multiplicity-witness.record)

Registry legitimacy.multiplicity-witness: class lean-proved, status superseded, review ci-only, origin round 2026-09-06-mathematical-consolidation; bears on item 78

Bridge (formalizer-stated; legitimacy.multiplicity-witness.bridge, drafted):

The statement of record of `legitimacy.multiplicity-witness` formalizes the registered claim as the registry reads it: equal anchors, distinct fates.

Hypotheses: unread (the record's Source carries the signature; a reader files them).

Completeness (legitimacy.multiplicity-witness.complete): No premise beyond the signature's binders enters the declaration; the kernel checks it as stated. The result is the record, this leaf and the bridge, and its hypotheses are unread: the record's Source carries the signature verbatim and no hypothesis leaf is filed until a reader files one.
