16. Design Principles

16.1 Domains are not sectors

A sector describes where a system is used. A Domain of Concern describes what kind of mediated intelligence constraint must be evaluated.

16.2 Concerns are calculable only within boundaries

A concern cannot be calculated until its domain boundary is declared.

16.3 Governance ensures admissibility

Governance ensures that artifacts, evidence, and calculations subscribe to the Domain of Concern requirements.

16.4 Calculations must remain empirical

Concern posture must be calculated from admissible evidence, declared observations, traceable measurements, or explicitly recorded human judgment.

16.5 Observers may be human, machine, or hybrid

The observer is not always a human expert. Machine observers may calculate concern posture when the Domain of Concern defines sufficient variables, thresholds, and admissibility rules.

16.6 Industry projections specialize but do not replace mediation domains

Healthcare, finance, military, education, legal, and cybersecurity profiles specialize the mediation domain. They do not define the conceptual foundation.
