TrustCarry Protocol v0.3 — Research Claim 039

Sealed record identifier: kaal:research-claim:persona-protocol-v0.3:039

Graph adjacency does not prove competence transfer, local stages do not create universal rank, and cross-system comparison requires a declared, fallible crosswalk.

Author-affirmed proposition from an unpublished research draft. Not part of the 5,033 published-source scholarly claim layer.

Holds when

Persona Protocol v0.3 as proposed; not an adopted standard

Supporting passage

Horizontal and vertical development are graph views, not automatic promotions. Adjacency between fields does not prove transfer. A stage inside one admission system does not become a universal rank. Cross-system comparison requires a declared crosswalk, and a crosswalk is a claim that can be wrong.
