State / Temporal Profiles

State / Temporal Profiles define domain-specific state machines and their placement on the shared temporal substrate: valid states, transition rules, event anchors and temporal validity.

State Machine Graph

Domain states should be explicit and transition-governed.

Temporal Substrate Graph

Each state or claim must be anchored in valid time and recorded time.

Profile Components

Component	Description	Outcome
State set	Finite declared state vocabulary for the domain objects.	Supports coherent lifecycle reasoning.
Transition rules	Authorized moves between states and their conditions.	Prevents impossible or ungoverned transitions.
Temporal anchors	Valid-from, valid-to, recorded-at and event-time semantics.	Supports time-aware queries and contradiction analysis.
State evidence	What evidence is sufficient to assert or change a state.	Links operational states to epistemic rigor.
