Predicates.
— Layer I · coined discriminative predicates
Standard governance vocabulary collapses distinctions that matter operationally. Corruption, capture, incompetence, dysfunction — four words doing the work of dozens of distinct operational modes. The framework's analytical predicates are neologisms — each names a distinction the standard vocabulary loses.
Coined through linguistic-autopsy procedure: stripping phonemic material from base words to expose latent semantic content, then recombining with classical morphological suffixes to produce previously-unnamed analytical predicates.
Two further predicates — Imperocracy and Documentocracy — are matrix-derived rather than coined, and live with the taxonomy's proposed additions.
