21.1 The declaration card

Every system begins with a declaration card containing:

1. the learning sketch and its intended factorization;

2. the base and tangent obstruction objects;

3. the observation maps used for measurement;

4. the decision quotient;

5. the localization cover and its completeness claim;

6. the allowed repair language;

7. the admission blocks;

8. the abstention conditions;

9. the certificate emitted after a decision;

10. the structural level at which each repair acts; and

11. the non-target obligations that every repair must preserve.
