Agency Models

CFR Hierarchy

CFR title, chapter, part, and section labels form a hierarchy. Honesty note: simplified federal agency and regulatory model; jurisdictions and programs vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice.

RENDER STRUCTURE · REFUSE INTERPRETATION · CITE · ABSTAIN · HAND-OFF: render structure, refuse interpretation, cite provenance, abstain when unsupported, and hand off to human review.

Regulatory data honesty note

Honesty note: simplified federal agency and regulatory model; jurisdictions and programs vary; as of June 24, 2026; not legal advice; code encodes a stated structural model, not the law itself.

CFR hierarchy is structured text

The stated process models CFR text as unit records linked by parent ids. This is structural hierarchy, not interpretation.

title→chapter→part→section\text{title}\to\text{chapter}\to\text{part}\to\text{section}

Example hierarchy path

The toy path starts at 40 C.F.R. and ends at 40 C.F.R. 70.1.

The compiler recomputes depth

The toy CFR hierarchy has 4 units from title to section, with maximum depth 3.

units=4,max depth=3\text{units}=4,\quad \text{max depth}=3

Diagram note

The diagram shows one simplified path. Active labels are toy as-of hierarchy labels only, not live currency, validity, or applicability conclusions.

Summary

CFR hierarchy data should show citation labels, parent links, depth, and as-of caveats before legal review.
