Deontic Models

Exception Overrides Trace

Exception rows are visible trace rows, not hidden logic. Honesty note: simplified stated-rule deontic model with jurisdiction and as-of caveats; the pinned first step carries the full honesty note.

Trace the exception row

The stated process keeps the base label, exception label, and human-review label as separate prong rows.

Example exception packet

The toy facts mark base_label true and exception_label true, while review_label remains unknown.

The trace recomputes row status

This trace has 3 rows and 1 unknown review row.

Diagram note

The diagram is a prong trace. Exception handling stays visible as row labels and does not produce legal advice.

Summary

Exception rows should be traceable because hidden exception logic is hard for human reviewers to inspect.
