and · drafted

Statement

Exact witness: counterfactual-only Robust Openness holds while the actual prefix has a live concern with no route and no principal standing. The public predicate is therefore `RobustOpenActual`, actual branch explicit.

Source

projects/normativity/CLAIMS.md, entry openness.actual-branch-witness (class lean-proved, status active, origin round 2026-09-07-final-pressure-pass; answers item 78). Documentation: verification: projects/normativity/legitimacy/rounds/2026-09-07-final-pressure-pass/THEOREMS.md; context: projects/normativity/legitimacy/rounds/2026-09-07-final-pressure-pass/READINESS.md. The signature of Workspace.Normativity.Contrib.NonCapture.Witness.counterfactual_open_not_actual in lean/Workspace/Normativity/Contrib/NonCaptureCertificate.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: Exact witness: counterfactual-only Robust Openness holds while the actual prefix has a live concern with no route and no principal standing. The public predicate is therefore RobustOpenActual, actual branch explicit. The registry's answers_item is the priorities pointer to item 78 (ruling F2).

Bridge card

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by openness-and-non-capture.

Declaration Workspace.Normativity.Contrib.NonCapture.Witness.counterfactual_open_not_actual in lean/Workspace.lean (record openness.actual-branch-witness.record)

Registry openness.actual-branch-witness: class lean-proved, status active, review ci-only, origin round 2026-09-07-final-pressure-pass; bears on item 78

Bridge (formalizer-stated; openness.actual-branch-witness.bridge, drafted):

The statement of record of `openness.actual-branch-witness` formalizes the registered claim as the registry reads it: counterfactual openness does not contain the actual condition.

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

Completeness (openness.actual-branch-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.
