- T1 · Documented
Attested in 3 languages: Japanese, Korean, Javanese.
What linguistic research records.
- T2 · Interpreted
role-based access systems flatten social nuance
How Lanskrit reads the code deficit.
- T3 · Proposed
role-parameterised operations
Speculative constructs — not executable code.
- T4 · Executed
Not yet compiled to a deterministic runtime.
Deterministic runtime — the graft as running machinery.
Each tier is a different kind of claim. We keep them visually distinct so a reader can never confuse a field record with a deterministic run.
Documented
What linguistic research records.
- hierarchy between participants
- institutional role of the actor
- level of respect implied
Interpreted
How Lanskrit reads the code deficit.
- role-based access systems flatten social nuance
- actor identity often loses institutional context
Proposed
Speculative constructs — not executable code.
- role-parameterised operations
- authority-tagged actors
Executed
Deterministic runtime — the graft as running machinery.
No executable runtime yet. This capability has not been compiled to a deterministic machine.
- authority-aware functions
- role-sensitive interfaces
- socially constrained actions
- institutional permissions
- Honorific structure describes language, not the moral character of its speakers.
