MQ-009 ★ Module-prefix Q-numbering + BFO-class-alignment Convention Codification LOCKED 2026-05-18T18:00 BST

Top-line

• Locked pick: Combined Axis-1 ε HYBRID-CODIFIED + Axis-2 δ LENIENT-DECISION-TREE per Rich-confirmation 1=ε; 2=δ in 1 turn
• Amendment: A-188; arch-state v3.82 → v3.83
• Triggering context: Q-037 Option F commissioning 2026-05-18T17:35 BST
• FOURTH meta-Q in 24h cluster (MQ-006 + MQ-007 + MQ-008 + MQ-009)
• No substantive Q blocked — backwards-compatible Day-1
• Pattern frequency validated: META-Q PATTERN OBSERVATION from MQ-008 predicted ~1 meta-Q per 3-5 substantive Q-locks; Q-037 was 3rd substantive Q after MQ-008 (Q-035 + Q-036 + Q-037); rhythm healthy

Axis 1 ε HYBRID-CODIFIED — Module-prefix Q-numbering

Rule:

1. Sequential Q-NNN authoritative for all substantive Qs
2. Module-prefix ALIAS optional for first-class-in-module readability — Q-T1 / Q-A1 / Q-Commerce-1 / Q-Credentials-1 / Q-Delegation-1 / Q-Core-1 / Q-People-1
3. Module-prefix ONLY for cross-module-primitives per MQ-007 — Q-CM-N
4. Filename: Q-NNN-prefix-letter1-letter2-topic-locked.md; aliases in frontmatter q_t_alias / q_a_alias / etc.
5. Collision resolution: Q-NNN sequential wins (alias is descriptive overlay)

Empirical precedent: Q-CM-1 (MQ-007) + Q-037/Q-T1

Axis 2 δ LENIENT-DECISION-TREE — BFO-class-alignment

Decision tree:

• is-it-a-process? → BFO 0000015 process
• is-it-a-role? → BFO 0000023 role
• is-it-a-process-boundary-or-payload? → BFO 0000035 process_boundary
• is-it-material-entity-aggregating-property? → BFO 0000040 material entity
• is-it-something-else? → consult Q-008 R.δ extension precedent OR surface MQ-010+ to extend

Rules:

• Composed-class inheritance: bfo_alignment INHERITED via Q-XXX annotation; no new BFO primitives
• Annotation REQUIRED on every class (missing → cascade-violation under c11)
• Multi-aspect classes: primary + bfo_secondary_aspect
• Decision-tree evolution via MQ-010+

4 BFO classes already in cascade:

• 0000015 process (Q-033 SM + Q-CM-1 + Q-035 inherited)
• 0000023 role (Q-008 R.δ + Q-032 inherited)
• 0000035 process_boundary (Q-033 + Q-036 inherited)
• 0000040 material entity (Q-037 FIRST explicit cascade use)

Phase-1.5+ richard-tasks — 1 NEW

• task-36 retroactive BFO-alignment annotation audit on Q-029 Estate + Q-030 WillRecognition + Q-031 GrantOfRepresentation (implicit → explicit annotations); optional polish

Cascade implications

Implication	Action
Q-T2 Trustee role-bearer (Q-038)	Applies ε convention (alias Q-T2 optional) + δ decision-tree (BFO 0000023 role per Q-032 pattern)
Q-T3 BeneficialInterest	Applies ε + δ
Q-T4 TrustDistribution	Applies ε + δ (BFO 0000015 process composes Q-CM-1)
Q-A1 Assets entry	Applies ε + δ (likely BFO 0000040 material entity)
Future Q-CM-N primitives	Q-CM-N only per MQ-007 + Axis 1 ε
All future classes	MUST include bfo_alignment annotation per δ

META-Q PATTERN OBSERVATION

MQ-009 is 4th in 24h cluster validating prediction. Anticipate MQ-010+ at similar cadence. Likely candidates from Q-037 retrospective Q1/C4 recommendations:

• Persona-rotation-discipline codification (per retrospective Q1)
• EW-counter-reset-at-module-boundary codification (per retrospective C4)
• 100% RC1-RC7 score as quality-target codification

NEXT

• Q-T2 (Q-038) Trustee role-bearer expansion immediately — pattern-transfer from Q-032 PR; L2 inheritance heavy; estimated ~2-3h
• Phase-3 axis stays 12/30-45 substantive
• Probate module 7/8 CLOSED; Trusts module 1/3-5 STARTED
• Phase-1.5+ task-36 optional polish
