White Line: A Typed Ledger for the Edge of the Claim
Description
A typed ledger for absence: epistemic gaps, ethical restraint, and contemplative negative space. It records what is missing, withheld, or unresolved under a total caution order, decays stale namings past their review horizons, and refuses to infer why anything is absent. Withholding is recorded as a boundary, never mined as missing evidence.
