Obligation Models

Party Fields

Obligor, beneficiary, and action are explicit fields, not inferred advice. Honesty note: toy contract model; jurisdictions vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; enforceability and breach require legal review; not legal advice.

Party roles are data fields

The process does not infer who benefits or who acts. It reads the party and action labels from Toy Contract sec. 2.1.

Example field packet

The toy packet names Vendor as obligor, Buyer as beneficiary, and deliver as the action. Those are 3 explicit fields.

The table preserves the labels

The compiler carries those fields into the row before status is computed. It does not choose a side or advise a party.

Diagram note

The diagram is a field audit. Read it as named slots for review, not as a rights or duties conclusion.

Summary

Explicit party fields make later traces inspectable because the model shows exactly which labels it used.
