Principlev1PR-981

Specify every delegation with five components

concrete outcome (what 'done' looks like), constraints (boundaries that must not be crossed), success criteria (how results will be evaluated), available resources (what the delegate can use), and timeline with checkpoints (when and how progress will be verified).

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from axioms that meaning is constructed by receivers (Meaning as Receiver Construction), knowledge is mediated (No Direct Access to Reality), and signal quality determines channel capacity (Signal-to-noise ratio determines the capacity…). Prescribes STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS of effective delegation specifications.
