Executable doctrine glossary

The doctrine glossary locks the canonical machine tokens used by Better Robots.txt governance.

It is not only a human glossary. It is validated by script and mirrored as /doctrine-glossary.json.

Canonical tokens

  • ccl for causal context;
  • sal for situational applicability;
  • cpi for interpretive weighting;
  • cai for attested integrity;
  • q-layer for response legitimacy.

Forbidden machine tokens

  • cas must not be used as the SAL machine token;
  • iwl must not replace cpi;
  • ail must not replace cai.

Any future token migration must be explicit, versioned and backward-compatible.
