NO STATE FINALITY
Required outcome is false.
Evidence ceiling E3Proof boundary
CAUSAL FINALITY
True state is not automatically caused state.
The reference engine requires an observed intervention, linked trace, bounded alternative causes and valid temporal order before promoting STATE_FINALITY to CAUSAL_FINALITY.
Claim levels
Different assertions require different proof.
Finality never infers universal causality from before/after state alone.
STATE FINALITY
Required outcome is true, but causal linkage is incomplete.
CAUSAL FINALITY
Bounded causal model and evidence satisfy the configured causal profile.
COUNTERFACTUAL FINALITY
A declared model estimates what would have happened without the action; assumptions remain explicit.
CONTRIBUTION FINALITY
Multiple actors may jointly contribute to the ending.
CAUSAL CHAIN CERTIFICATE
Causal claims remain scoped, attributable and challengeable.
