Statement
A set of local rules exists that is sound with respect to semantic legitimacy, never blessing truth-divergent reasoning, and complete, certifying whatever tracks truth, on a nontrivial fragment.

Notes
The crux of Stage 3; two rows are conditioned on results of this branch. It re-ranks the syntax frame (its value depends on the first two pictures) against the endpoint-preservation model. The soundness-and-completeness template is the AI's proposal from the generating chat.
