ζ-Q3 Asset Taxonomy LOCKED ε with 9 i-ζ classes (sub-option A) — 2026-04-30T20:15 BST

Decision

ε CCO/BFO-rooted hybrid asset taxonomy locked under G+ permanent (per ζ-Q2 A-127). 9 i-ζ classes preserved (per A-10 / Shape X i-ζ 2026-04-23) but rooted in BFO 2020 Continuant taxonomy for ISO 21838-2:2021 compliance + CCO compatibility + DoD/IC baseline alignment (Jan 2024).

Why: Wave-4 research lifted all 9 classes to HIGH BFO-rooting confidence (was MIXED with 3 LOW/MODERATE). Smith Building Ontologies with BFO (Arp/Smith/Spear 2015 MIT Press) ingested at Tier-1; Donohue 2017 + IAO + FIBO + LADM ISO 19152 resolved Receivable + BusinessAsset + AgriculturalProperty. ε execution cost dropped to ~£5-8K + 2-3 days authoring (was £8-15K + 3-5 days); rework risk dropped 10% → 5%. Convergent decision pattern matches ζ-Q1 (Option C criteria frame).

How to apply: All Phase-3 module-authoring uses the 9 BFO-rooted i-ε classes. Donohue 2017 directive-information-entity GDC framework reusable for all deontic entities (Power-of-Attorney rights / Trust beneficiary entitlements / Will provisions / Capacity attestations / Liability / Bequest / SubstitutionClause). PensionAsset stays deferred to Year-2+ per richard-tasks #190 trigger conditions (HMRC IHT409 separate-treatment; competitor pressure from Thomson Reuters CoCounsel “fiduciary-grade AI”; UK pension reforms; partner-firm usage data >20%).

Scoring

6 options against locked 14-criterion C frame: ε 3.95 / α confirm-i-ζ 3.59 / γ broad-12-class 3.49 / β minimal-5-class 3.10 / ζ TT-product-derived 3.06 / δ FIBO-wholesale 3.04. ε wins 7/8 sensitivity perturbations + 0.36 margin to α (above 0.20 threshold). Perturbation #6 (commercial-pragmatism flip) favoured α by 0.40 margin.

Sub-Q (10/11/8/7) options: A stay-9 4.27 / B 10+Pension 4.27 / D 8 merge Agri 4.24 / E 7 merge Agri+Vehicle 4.09 / C 11+Pension+Insurance 4.05. A and B tied; Rich locked A.

  • ζ-Q3 cascade file at 2026-04-29-multi-phase-audit/answered-questions/Q-003-zeta-shape-x-angle-i-asset-taxonomy.md v1.0
  • Smith book ingested at ~/off-github/library/indexed/arp-building-ontologies-bfo/ Tier-1 (PDF + EPUB + extracted-text + TOC + metadata.md + notes.md 9 ULID quotes + exclusion-log.md; Ch 5 Continuants + Ch 8 BFO-at-Work depth-read)

Methodology unlock

Donohue 2017 directive-information-entity GDC framework applies to ALL deontic entities in v2, not just Receivable. This resolves a Phase 3 module-authoring methodology question across Wills + Trusts + Delegation + Capacity + Probate that was implicitly open. Carry-forward to ζ-Q4+ and Phase 3.

Honest caveats

  • Convergent decision (Rich + Claude both arrived at ε after wave-4 evidence; matches ζ-Q1 pattern).
  • Two LOW-confidence classes (BusinessAsset + Receivable) resolved via Donohue 2017 + IAO + FIBO. AgriculturalPropertyAsset was MODERATE; resolved via LADM ISO 19152 + Smith Ch 5.
  • AgriculturalPropertyAsset stays separate top-level class (not merged with RealProperty per option D). UK practitioner usage (BPR/APR; HMRC IHT414) justifies explicit modelling.
  • PensionAsset deferred Year-2+ — not “no”; trigger-gated.
  • Smith book purchase ~£35-45 + 30-min ingest + 90-min targeted-deep reading; decisively right per T82 cost-benefit.
