Scale-recursion
Design claim Addendum status: retrospectively checked against Substrate and Dropzone, not yet through a domain-specific kill-test in either.

Definition (canon)
A committed node's output is, to the node one scale above it, an ordinary convergent input and nothing more — authority (or local control) at one scale is citizenship at the next. Falsified by a node whose local internal state materially determines the node above it in a way irreducible to its aggregate output.
In plain words
What counts as in charge at one level is just one voice at the level above.
It is not
- A claim that an aggregate drives its parts. The aggregate does not drive its constituents (convention C16).
What would defeat it
- Canon. A node whose local internal state materially determines the node above it in a way irreducible to its aggregate output.
