Verification boundary
Reference verification establishes the publisher-controlled location and declared source identity. It does not verify every proposition, recognize Eviulon, validate a future scenario or create current effect.

- EVI-SCA-005 — Environmental disturbance could remain bounded and reversible
- EVI-SCA-006 — Human science and treaty interests could be preserved
Indicators
- EVI-SOI-001 — Published physical-autonomy assessment
- EVI-SOI-002 — Rights-preserving territorial framework
