Q-037 (Q-T1) κ.η★ Trusts.Trust container MVP LOCKED 2026-05-18T17:30 BST

Top-line

3 NEW SKOS schemes

  • TrustTypeScheme (7) — express + resulting + constructive + bare + discretionary + interest-in-possession + accumulation-and-maintenance per Hudson canonical UK&W
  • TrustCreationBasisScheme (5) — declaration-of-trust + will-testamentary + court-order + statutory + oral
  • TrustGoverningLawScheme (6) — uk-w-trustee-act-2000 + scotland-trusts-scotland-1921-2024 + switzerland-hague-1985-foreign-recognition-only + foreign-trust-recognition-other + hindu-huf-coparcener-analog + waqf-islamic-charitable-analog

3 substrate-correcting DELTA findings

  1. Switzerland NO NATIVE TRUST LAW — Hague Convention 1985 on Trusts ratified by Switzerland effective 2007 provides foreign-trust-recognition only; civil-law analogs (Stiftung-foundation per ZGB Art 80-89 + fideicommissary substitution per ZGB Art 488) imperfect. Substrate asymmetry vs UK + Scotland captured in TrustGoverningLawScheme + hague_1985_recognition_basis NULLABLE slot. P-10 Berenbrok fold.
  2. Hudson Three Certainties doctrine canonical UK&W — Hudson §3.1.1 canonical authority + Knight v Knight (1840) 3 Beav 148 origin. Validity test for express trust formation (intention + subject-matter + objects). P-08 Lawsky engagement per retrospective Q1 — legal-rule-formalisation framework applies to 3-prong decomposition. three_certainties_check_passed REQUIRED boolean; Phase-1.5+ task-35 structured-decomposition uplift.
  3. Magic Triangle pattern — Hudson §2.3 (settlor + trustees + beneficiaries) load-bearing for required-FK composition. Each vertex is REQUIRED FK in Trust class. Pattern-transfers to Q-T2 Trustee role-bearer (TrusteeRole BFO 0000023 inherits Q-008 R.δ pattern) and Q-T3 BeneficialInterest (non-natural-person beneficiaries class).

4 Catala rules Phase-5-deferred (per MQ-008 tracking)

  • ThreeCertaintiesCheck (P-07 Mishcon + P-08 Lawsky fold; canonical UK&W validity)
  • TrustTypeValidityCheck (P-01 fold; type-vs-basis combinations)
  • SwissForeignTrustRecognitionCheck (P-10 fold; Hague 1985; Phase-1.5+ wave)
  • WaqfTrustEquivalenceCheck Phase-1.5+ wave-1 (P-FR-FAITH-01 fold; Q-024.1 pattern)

All 4 declared in phase_5_catala_rule_bodies: frontmatter per MQ-008.

v3.17 L5 anti-pattern early-warning (ALL COUNTERS RESET at Probate→Trusts module-boundary)

  • EW-1 (3-consecutive-zero-c-objections) — RESET to 0 (Q-037 has 1 (c)-objection folded inline)
  • EW-4 (≥5-consecutive bold-synthesis) — RESET to 1 (Q-037 is 1st on fresh Trusts substrate)
  • EW-2/EW-3/EW-5 not fired

Module-boundary counter-reset discipline working as designed per retrospective C4 recommendation.

P-08 + P-04 persona engagement (per retrospective Q1)

  • P-08 Lawsky surfaced 2 objections — Three Certainties structural-decomposition + TrustTypeValidityCheck Lawsky-style decision-table → folded via Phase-1.5+ task-35
  • P-04 OASIS surfaced 2 objections — Trusts-module conformance class hierarchy + AKN role-element mapping → folded via existing task-2 OASIS engagement-track

Persona-rotation discipline working. Both surfaced (a)-objections folded cleanly. Validates retrospective Q1 recommendation.

Phase-1.5+ richard-tasks — 2 NEW

  • task-34 Stiftung-foundation-mapping for Swiss-situs (P-10 (c)-fold cross-link; cross-border conflict-resolution)
  • task-35 three_certainties_check_passed structured decomposition into 3 sub-booleans (P-07 + P-08 (a)-fold; Phase-5 Catala rule body uplift)

MQ-009 COMMISSIONED per Rich Option F+A 2026-05-18T17:35 BST

Combined scope — module-prefix Q-numbering convention codification + BFO-class-alignment convention codification.

Axis 1 — module-prefix Q-numbering: codify Q-T1/Q-A1/Q-Commerce-1/Q-Credentials-1/Q-Delegation-1/Q-Core-1 pattern (emergent with Q-037 + Q-CM-N precedent under MQ-007). Decide alias-vs-replacement; collision-resolution; assignment-rule.

Axis 2 — BFO-class-alignment: codify decision-tree for class selection. Q-037 introduced BFO 0000040 material entity (first cascade use); previously 0000015 process / 0000023 role / 0000035 process_boundary. Decide canonical-tree + when-new-class-warrants vs when-inherit + annotation-consistency.

MQ-009 framing surfaces post-Q-037 commit as next cycle; estimated ~2-3h.

NEXT

  • Q-037 commit + push (immediately after this memory)
  • MQ-009 framing surface + lock cycle — combined module-prefix-numbering + BFO-class-alignment; ~2-3h
  • Q-T2 Trustee role-bearer expansion — pattern-transfer from Q-032 PR; L2 inheritance heavy; estimated ~2-3h cycle (after MQ-009)
  • Phase-3 axis 11/30-45 → 12/30-45
  • Probate module 7/8 CLOSED; Trusts module 0/3-5 → 1/3-5 STARTED
