Core meaning
- Capability purpose
- Support sharing or public presence without converting private source knowledge into outward content by implication.
- Meaningful outcome
- A separate outward representation is created, revised, withdrawn, or rejected with source provenance and intended exposure preserved.
- Boundaries — includes
- Role identity, source references, copied or directly authored outward content, transformation/redaction, intended audience or exposure, rights intent, version, and withdrawal state.
- Boundaries — excludes
- changing the private source, configuring Role outward intent, enforcing audience access, publishing or sending, and granting outbound-action authority.
- Terms and concepts
- An
outward representation is a separate object or bundle suitable for later governed sharing; the private source remains unchanged.
Interaction Contract MLEs
Create or revise an outward representation
- Actor
- The owner or an authorized preparation agent acting under explicit owner scope.
- Command / intent
- Author, copy, summarize, redact, or revise Role-scoped knowledge for possible outward use.
- Current state
- An active Role, eligible private source or direct outward content, declared outward intent, target exposure context, and owner authority exist.
- Policies / invariants
- Private sources are never implicitly exposed or mutated; the outward representation has its own identity and lifecycle; source linkage and transformations remain traceable; publication and access remain separate decisions.
- Transition
- Select eligible material, apply approved transformation or direct authorship, validate exposure and sensitivity constraints, and create a new outward-representation version.
- Result
- A prepared, rejected, withdrawn, or superseded outward representation with explicit provenance and intended use.
- Events / effects
- May become eligible for a later sharing, access-control, or publication capability.
- Unknowns
- Universal redaction, rights, synchronization, and withdrawal propagation rules are not established.
Rules and defaults
Rules / invariants
- Copying or deriving outward material must not mutate the private source.
- Outward eligibility must not be represented as actual publication or audience access.
- Source-to-representation provenance must survive later revision and withdrawal.
Recommended defaults
- Create a minimal separate representation and require review before any external exposure.
Unknown / unresolved
- Whether later source changes should propose, require, or prohibit outward-representation updates depends on the sharing profile.
