Standing Transferability Defect

stable  Class A, Identity and Standing

Standing can be bought, sold, delegated, or pooled, so it stops measuring the performance it was meant to represent.

Trigger conditions

Check these against the system you are actually building. These are cumulative indicators rather than a conjunction: one is enough to make this family worth examining, and the more that hold, the sharper the exposure.

  1. The standing instrument is fungible or transferable between identities
  2. Capital and earned standing are staked in the same act
  3. Delegation moves standing rather than only voice

Institutional antecedent

Open. No pre-2020 institutional antecedent is recorded for this family. Absence is recorded as open rather than claimed as novelty. Candidates to wulf@wulfkaal.com.

Grounding claims

Published assertions in the Kaal Corpus mapped to this family. Each carries a verbatim quote from its source and the sha256 of the source document, and each resolves to its own permanent address. Loaded live from the failure index, so this list reflects the current state of the corpus rather than the state at publication.

Crosswalk

Mappings to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act risk categories, the MIT AI Risk Repository, OWASP, and MITRE ATT&CK are open and will be populated before version 1.1. A mapping asserts overlap in the respect stated. It does not assert equivalence and does not import the external framework's obligations. Proposals to wulf@wulfkaal.com.
