| Outside-in systems lens | Examine contract, employment, family, professional, institutional, digital-platform, law-enforcement, national-security, media, caregiving, and cross-border systems that assign roles, infer agency, or impose consequences. For this path, track inference rules, profile and recommendation design, and user correction and deletion. |
|---|---|
| Inside-out differentiation lens | Compare the person’s own consent, conduct, authorization, relationship, role, capacity, safety needs, family context, profession, public visibility, migration or heritage ties, and differing perspectives without inferring belief or allegiance. Use those differences to test the scope of Political Ambiguity & the Right Not to Declare; do not treat any group as monolithic. |

Systems lens
Examine contract, employment, family, professional, institutional, digital-platform, law-enforcement, national-security, media, caregiving, and cross-border systems that assign roles, infer agency, or impose consequences. For this path, track inference rules, profile and recommendation design, and user correction and deletion.
Difference lens
Compare the person’s own consent, conduct, authorization, relationship, role, capacity, safety needs, family context, profession, public visibility, migration or heritage ties, and differing perspectives without inferring belief or allegiance. Use those differences to test the scope of Political Ambiguity & the Right Not to Declare; do not treat any group as monolithic.
Tradeoff to keep visible
Safety, privacy, autonomy, evidence, institutional responsibility, free association, due process, and timely intervention may require careful balancing.
Signals worth watching
- inference rules
- profile and recommendation design
- user correction and deletion
Signals are prompts for review, not verified trends.
Explicit relationship review
Edges preserve overlap, direction, conflict, and evidence limits.
Only the exact current version of an explicit IntersectionEdge may support relationship analysis. Partial, directional, conflicting, no-strong, insufficient, disputed, and retired outcomes remain distinct. Discovery links are exploration aids only; tags are candidate-review signals only.
Identity Is Not Agency
Protected identity, heritage, religion, profession, family status, or public visibility does not establish direction, authority, threat, or representation.
No explicit IntersectionEdge currently supports a public relationship conclusion for this pair.

What remains uncertain
This page is a stable taxonomy reference, not a sourced evidence memo. It may need stronger sources, jurisdiction-specific context, disputed-claim handling, and future explicit IntersectionEdge review.
No missing edge, Discovery link, tag, or shared phrase is treated as a relationship conclusion.
