Historical precedent for governing building knowledge through modular, interface-disciplined textual specification rather than drawing (Greek proportion systems, Japanese kiwari cascades, and Vietnamese instrumental bay control) is examined in Appendix C, "Text as a Building Medium", where the same bounded-interdependence logic appears as a disclosure discipline for reusable, revisable specification.

The proposition is stated and justified in Chapter 3, Section 3.5; its mechanism is "executable transformation grammar with invariant checks," its indicator is replay consistency and invariant retention, its baseline is narrative or tacit change procedures, and its falsifier is that replays are non-deterministic or invariants cannot be checked reliably.

The two laws are W(idX) = id{W(X)} and W(g ∘ f) = W(g) ∘ W(f) in the sense of Saunders Mac Lane, Categories for the Working Mathematician, 2nd ed. (New York: Springer, 1998), Definition I.3, 13-14. They hold here by the extension-point token-reservation, identifier-convention, desugaring, and formal-core-immutability clauses of the extensibility contract (EXP-7.6, clauses EC-01, EC-04, EC-08, EC-10) rather than by an independent categorical computation: the notation desugars text under a fixed discipline, and the laws are a consequence of that discipline. The same property grounds the architectural contribution restated in Section 7.20.

The site-perimeter is the count of empty cells edge-adjacent to a polyomino; a group of stones in the game of Go is a polyomino on the board lattice, and its liberties are exactly its site-perimeter.

Herbert A. Simon, "The Architecture of Complexity," Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 106, no. 6 (1962): 467-482. Encoding composition as recursive nesting over typed spatial units places PlaniSyn within the shape-computation and dwelling-grammar traditions (Knight's computing with shapes and Duarte's grammar for the Malagueira houses are the nearest precedents), which PlaniSyn extends from purely generative composition to compliance-checkable composition, the point of departure being that each PlaniSyn interaction is bound to a governed-kernel interface contract that the shape-grammar tradition does not require its relations to discharge. See Terry Knight, "Computing with Shapes," Environment and Planning B 30, no. 4 (2003): 499-520, and José P.

Experiment file experiments/recpol-v6/EXP-7.5-hc6-compliance.md, HC-6A assessment: PASS on the representability of the stratified entity vocabulary, relation operators, and nine module types. The assessment was run on the pre-restratification vocabulary; the two terms added under the cognitive primitive-composite-module re-stratification (actor, within_context) inherit the PlaniSyn forms it assessed, the Prerequisite Value Tag keyword and the design-category context binding, so no untested representational target is introduced.

That a floor plan can be carried as a structured textual specification rather than a drawing is not a novel premise: Appendix C, "Text as a Building Medium", traces historical precedents (Greek, Japanese, and Vietnamese proportional and modular systems) in which non-graphic specification carried replayable construction knowledge, and sets out the disclosure conditions under which a text-based plan remains inspectable and revisable, the same conditions the census extraction in this chapter relies on.

The measurement pipeline, its pre-registration, and the instrument-conformance audit are documented in the dimensional-corpus data bundle (Appendix H). The rebuild was undertaken because an earlier pass measured dimensions by language-model inference from title strings, an un-instrumented procedure that did not survive methodological audit; the present finding supersedes it.

Appendix data bundle appendix-data-ch8-floor-plan-corpus, index Sections 1-4, gives the field-by-field derivation from the canonical run output.

This is decision D-RECON-1 (ratified 2026-06-14): the built-in robe is a fixture, not a space. The reconciliation (the topology read enumerates 15,957 zones, of which 1,403 are built-in robes) is recorded in the floor-plan corpus appendix bundle; applying the convention yields 14,554 enumerated spaces. A parallel geometry extraction of the same 745 plans (the read on which the dimensional-coverage and configurational analyses rest) counts 12,849 spaces under the same room-grain convention; this geometry read is the canonical thesis-wide space count (D-1, reopened 2026-06-15), while the occurrence read reported here remains the basis for the category-frequency distribution and the coupling graph. The 1,705-space difference between the two reads is counting variance over the same plans (split/merge and node-alignment between two independent extractions, ~76 per cent high-confidence match), not a separate corpus, and is reconciled in the floor-plan geometry reconciliation record. The complementary roughly 24 per cent reflects unaligned nodes between two single-agent extractions of the same plans; no external inter-rater reliability statistic (Cohen's κ or Krippendorff's α) has been computed for the extraction, so the substrate's reliability rests on this inter-extraction agreement rather than on an external reliability coefficient, and an independent inter-rater exercise is declared future work under scope-limit SL-07.

Sum of the top-ten merged counts in spacecategoryfrequencies_merged.csv (room-grain convention): 8,882 of 14,554 = 61.0 per cent. The figure is reported descriptively over the census.

Schema gap I-1-13, recorded in the lineage dossier; the legacy 73.5 per cent connectivity statistic is not directly comparable to the v5.0 marginal 57.85 per cent precisely because the underlying opening definitions differ.

Scope-Limit SL-04 (active); the O-V-01 verdict (hardcoded) was reached on 2026-04-24 by direct read of the script source. The thresholds are validated against the three-component structure of the dimensional corpus (they sit near the small/mid boundary), but they are not extracted from it.

Computed from spacecategoryfrequencies_merged.csv (room-grain convention): the cumulative sum of merged counts first crosses 90 per cent at the 22nd-ranked category. The walk-in robe (wardrobe) sits at rank 11 once built-in robes are carried as fixtures.

The realised-pair matrix couplingmatrixrealisedpairs.csv carries only pairs of connection weight at least two; the stable-core survival check at experiments/ch8-cw04-stable-core-survival/survivalreport.md reads zero co-presence for the never-realised dispreferred pairs precisely because they leave no row in that weight-positive matrix, which is a missing co-presence denominator rather than a measured zero.

CL-8-08 @v1, claim bank v0.1: of the six probes, four are testable and none returns INCOHERENT; two are untestable.

All ten claims, with version, status, confidence, verdict-loops completed, and scope-limit fields, are recorded in the claim bank (v0.1).

All figures in this subsection are descriptive over the 745-plan geometry census (7,287 dimensioned rooms; 3,655 interior adjacencies with both endpoints dimensioned); full derivation in the floor-plan geometry appendix bundle. The corpus is a complete enumeration, not a sample, so no sampling variability attaches and the figures are reported as plain census quantities.

The Specialist Disability Accommodation and general-market geometric contrast is reported in full, with its rigour audit (independent re-derivation, confound triangulation across collection wave and recovered state, cross-source validation against the original listing metadata, and a placebo control) in the supplementary Specialist Disability Accommodation and general-market geometric-contrast analysis held with the thesis's reproducibility materials. It is descriptive over the sealed 745-plan census (86 Specialist Disability Accommodation, 659 general-market) and is advanced as an exploratory illumination rather than a load-bearing claim; its confounds are disclosed there.

The four-property framing (Property 1 interoperability, Property 2 transportability, Property 3 manipulability, Property 4 transformability) is established in Chapter 1, Section 1.4; the round-trip-fidelity evidence under Proposition 3 is established at Chapter 7, Section 7.20 (EVID-P3-REPLAY and EVID-P3-INVARIANTS); Chapter 9 contributes the procedural-instantiation operationalisation rather than re-establishing the evidence.

Corpus profile and screening protocol in Chapter 8, Section 8.10; the 745-plan figure is the validated post-screening corpus size after the four-stage extraction-validation pipeline reported there.

The agent-manual extraction protocol, including its rationale and the prohibition on programmatic end-to-end automation for the floor-plan extraction stage, is the canonical extraction method established for the Chapter 8 empirical substrate; the extraction-effort estimate is the working figure governing that substrate's production budget. The corpus is a complete census of the screened plans rather than a probability sample, so the figures reported here are descriptive counts over that census.

The polysemy among SDA-domain terms, on the order of three in five eligible terms, is established empirically in Chapter 5 and grounded theoretically in J. Pustejovsky, The Generative Lexicon, MIT Press, 1995.

The foundational capability claims this family inherits are established by T. B. Brown et al., "Language models are few-shot learners," in Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 33 (NeurIPS 2020), 2020, arXiv:2005.14165; R. Bommasani et al., "On the opportunities and risks of foundation models," Stanford Center for Research on Foundation Models, 2021, arXiv:2108.07258, which explicitly catalogues regulatory and compliance-adjacent documentation among the deployment domains of non-trivial risk; and OpenAI, "GPT-4 technical report," 2023, arXiv:2303.08774. The argument depends not on any single application paper but on the architectural pattern they collectively share: generative emission without an enforced governance contract over the substrate from which the emission is drawn.

The entry corpus is described in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md; the schema is specified in Chapter 6, Section 6.4.

The PlaniSyn applied grammar and the underlying RecPol formal core are specified jointly in Chapter 7; see particularly Chapter 7, Section 7.13 for the three-layer architecture, the seven-tag grammar, and the four interaction types whose syntactic forms the validator references.

The current state of SDA provenance integration is documented in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md Section 5; numbered SDA clause identifiers are surfaced for SAN-FA-01 (inline at Chapter 6, Section 6.4) but not yet for the eight bundled FA entries, which cite at the FA typology edge level pending a subsequent audit pass.

C. Y. Baldwin and K. B. Clark, Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000), Ch. 3 ("What is Modularity?") and Ch. 5 ("Design Rules: The Six Modular Operators"). Baldwin and Clark's distinction between visible design rules (which coordinate independent work) and hidden module parameters (which can vary locally) is the structural precedent for positioning the pipeline as a hidden-parameter implementation conforming to the visible design rules supplied by the standardisation schema, the Governed Kernel Architecture, and the notation; the engine those rules govern is developed in Chapter 6.

The methodological asymmetry between SAN-FA-01 (which cites numbered SDA clauses D4.1, D4.2, D4.3, D4.6, D4.8) and the eight bundled FA entries (which cite at the FA typology edge level pending a subsequent audit pass) is documented in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md Section 5. Each entry's provenance trail and abstract callout repeat the honesty note for standalone reading.

(Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2018), Ch. 1 ("BIM Handbook Introduction") and Ch. 4 ("BIM Design Tools and Parametric Modeling"). Eastman and colleagues describe the parametric-component library as the operational vehicle for component reuse across BIM projects, and they document the recurrent pattern in which a component's parameters are insufficient to encode regulatory commitments, so the compliance check is deferred to a downstream rule-engine pass rather than carried within the component itself.

Habraken, The Structure of the Ordinary: Form and Control in the Built Environment (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1998). Habraken's foundational distinction between Support (long-life capacity) and Infill (short-life configuration) supplies the structural precedent for treating the library as a capacity layer on which a population of design instances is configured.

S. H. Kendall, "Open Building: An Abbreviated History and a Look Forward," Open House International, ahead-of-print (2025), doi: 10.1108/OHI-05-2025-0185. Kendall's contemporary survey identifies the standardised-interface discipline as the operational mechanism through which Open Building's capacity layer makes downstream configuration feasible.

C. Y. Baldwin and K. B. Clark, Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000), Ch. 3 ("What is Modularity?") and Ch. 5 ("Design Rules: The Six Modular Operators"). Baldwin and Clark's distinction between visible design rules (which coordinate independent work across module boundaries) and hidden module parameters (which can vary locally without destabilising the system) supplies the theoretical structure within which the library's entries function as platform-conformant complements.

Chuck Eastman, Paul Teicholz, Rafael Sacks, and Ghang Lee, BIM Handbook, 3rd ed. (Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2018), Ch. 7 ("BIM and Building Codes and Regulations") and Ch. 9 ("BIM for Sustainability and Building Performance Analysis"). The chapters survey the design and operational characteristics of the standards-formalisation programmes that have populated the BIM ecosystem since the early 2000s and identify the pre-vetted entry pool as a recurrent precondition for schema-driven generation.

J. Dimyadi and R. Amor, "Automated Building Code Compliance Checking — Where is It At?," in Proceedings of the 19th CIB World Building Congress, Brisbane 2013, eds. S. Kajewski, K. Manley, and K. Hampson (Brisbane: Queensland University of Technology, 2013), 172-185. Dimyadi and Amor's survey establishes that automated compliance checking depends on a curated, schema-conformant entry pool; the pre-vetted library is our instantiation of that precondition for the SDA-aligned dwelling-design domain.

Per-entry line counts and provenance citation tallies are recorded in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idxappendix.md Section 2 ("File Manifest"); the manifest records eight of eight entries with constraintstatus: true substantiation and nine of nine module types covered at the FA category. The counts reported here are descriptive over the populated set, which is a complete census of the FA-category entries authored to date rather than a sample.

The reproduction protocol is recorded in publish-thesis/publish-data/appendix-data-ch6-baseline-library/idx_appendix.md Section 4 ("Reproduction Notes"). The eight bundled entries were authored against a fixed substrate of six input documents: the Chapter 6 module library specification, the constituent elements specification, the module taxonomy, the interaction rules, and two FA typology graph files. Honest provenance gaps are surfaced in each entry rather than fabricated as clause identifiers not present in the source.

C. Y. Baldwin and K. B. Clark, Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000), Ch. 3 ("What is Modularity?") and Ch. 5 ("Design Rules: The Six Modular Operators"). The minimum-dependency runtime is the prototype's instantiation of Baldwin and Clark's hidden-parameter discipline: the implementation may evolve freely beneath the pipeline's stage boundaries provided the visible design rules, the inter-stage contracts of Section 9.6 and the documentation-packet schema specified below, remain stable.

The PlaniSyn production rules are specified jointly in Chapter 7; see in particular Chapter 7, Section 7.13 for the seven-tag grammar and the four interaction types whose syntactic forms the transformer references. The full EBNF parser is deferred to subsequent work; the prototype implements the minimum-viable subset sufficient to consume baseline-library sda_provenance fields and emit structured predicates.

The interface-obligations detector was extended per the procedural-evidence work items AGENT-EXT-8 and R2-Ch9-SW-02.

Each scope-limit is recorded as a declared future-work direction in Section 9.27 and traced to the requirements register at Supplementary Requirements-Design-Evaluation Traceability Matrix. The scope-limits are properties of the declared instantiation-depth scope rather than defects of the prototype's logic.

The procedural-level round-trip test is implemented at tests/test_roundtrip.py, added per the procedural-evidence work items AGENT-EXT-7 and R2-Ch9-SW-01.

The HC-8C interaction-rule register is contracted on the census required-adjacency structure of Chapter 8, Section 8.33: the 49 hard pairs the 745-plan census realises as reliably co-located required adjacencies, together with 50 soft pairs carried as preference weights. The avoidance signals, category pairs co-present yet never realised as adjacent, are a codification-development observation from an earlier pilot codification that recorded full co-presence; they are carried as soft dispreferences rather than hard exclusions, because the finalised census records co-presence only through realised adjacency and so has no co-presence denominator with which to re-confirm an absent class at scale (Chapter 8, Section 8.40, sensitivity finding S5-3). The present chapter's interface-conformance verdicts rest on the census hard interior; no verdict is grounded in a dispreference signal, so the descriptive, pilot-stage-bounded status of those signals propagates no change into the table below.

Per-run JSON log at experiments/ch10-synthetic-trajectory/runlogs/ch10-trajectory-emit-20260507T120120Z.json records sub-second per-packet emission across the seven packets and validationok: true for each.

Variation-governance evidence is drawn from a four-case cohort of distinct module-instance scenarios (the office class at E3→4; the Robust bedroom and sanitary variants at E4→5b; and the multi-dwelling-site composition at E4→5b), sufficient to demonstrate the exception-typing discipline within the six-event corpus; broader exception-taxonomy coverage is registered as future work.

Rated HIGH because trace completeness reaches one hundred per cent at the predicate-list level across all seven states with bi-directional traceability under the four sub-criteria of mapping, soundness, completeness at declared scope, and bi-directionality; the structural reason for HIGH rather than MODERATE is that the predicate-list axis is fully exercised across the trajectory's regulatory expansion at the Fully-Accessible-to-Robust fork without schema-level modification.

Rated HIGH because each of the six transformation events bounds verification scope strictly within the modules touched by the transformation, with cross-module checks bounded by the Section 6.3 interaction rules; the structural reason for HIGH rather than MODERATE is that no event triggers a global re-walk and the bounded-scope property holds at the fork's largest single perturbation.

Rated MODERATE rather than HIGH because the demonstration exercises a single-fork trajectory (one substrate, one bifurcation at S4) rather than a multi-trajectory cohort; the single-fork scope is structurally narrower than multi-trajectory validation and is recorded as future-work item FW-05.

Structurally required rather than discretionary: the candidate-as-arbiter scope under which the per-event burden trace is gathered precludes the practitioner-cohort comparator a generalised burden claim would require, and the matched-task baseline is reasoned analytically rather than executed against an external cohort; the reason for DECLARED-LIMITED rather than SUPPORTED is the absence of the external comparator, not the absence of evidence within the candidate-driven scope.
