Review Semantics

One review vocabulary, composed with the document register, Evidence State and Spectral State. Each of five questions keeps its own answer: what a passage is doing, where it came from, what the evidence supports, what judgment is asked or made, and what condition an architectural element is in.

Five questions, five owners

Question	Answered by	It cannot establish
What is this passage doing?	Document role: prose, quotation, callout, framing, synthesis	Whether it is true, accepted or in force
Where did it come from?	Basis: a keyed value, no color	Whether it is supported or accepted
What does the evidence support?	Evidence State: a dot	Acceptance, permission or maturity
What judgment is asked or made, about what, by whom, at which scope?	Review State: an outline	A new origin, new evidence or authority beyond the decision
What condition is this architectural element in?	Spectral State: a square	That every claim or use around the element is accepted

Review State // the five roles

Mark	Meaning	Value and relationship
Proposed	A candidate statement or change, awaiting a decision. It says nothing about whether the content is wrong or weakly supported.	The emphasis magenta, by reference: Spectral proposed's hue, not its value; a candidate on another axis
Correction requested	The same role, used only when someone has asked for existing words to change. It shares paint with Proposed, not event identity.	As above
Open question	A named matter held until someone answers it.	The emphasis cyan, by reference: bluer than Spectral held, an element deliberately held open on another axis. It shares a meaning with held and Evidence unresolved, a matter not yet settled, not their value.
Accepted	A recorded decision to adopt or to permit, naming what, who and the scope. A narrow scope is a whole decision, not a partial one.	Spectral earned, by reference: green
Declined	A recorded decision not to adopt or not to permit, naming what, who and the scope. It does not say the statement is false.	Spectral deflated, by reference: red
No decision recorded	Shown only where the absence matters. It is not a refusal or an acceptance, and not a hold: a hold is an open question.	The faintest neutral

The other marks, basis and checks

State: Earned Structural Partial Deflated Held External Proposed
Basis: owner-stated, observed in supplied material, analyst synthesis
Evidence: Supported Partially supported Unresolved Weakened Not yet testable
Check: a named check and its result, as plain metadata: never a dot, never an outline

Rows and lists read in one order: state, basis, evidence, review. A row that opens a range, a whole list item's included, or stands as a prompt before a range leads with its review item, and its other items follow in that order. The same value on two axes is a correlation, not a synonym. Open question and Unresolved both name something not yet settled: Open question takes the emphasis cyan and Unresolved keeps its own value, and their geometry and their words say which axis is speaking.

Document roles stay as they are

A quotation: someone's words, on the violet rail.

Represented voice

A callout: the document's own point, on the magenta rail.

A level inside a level, on the neutral hierarchy rail.

None of these rails, nor the framing and synthesis panels, is a review or evidence state. A review mark opens a range over the content it concerns, a whole list item included, stands as a prompt naming its target before a range, or sits in the cell, note, list or document record that bounds it, and never repaints it.

The composition at its scopes

Paragraphs and their neighbors // one range per judgment

Each frame holds the product and at most two props; this paragraph carries no judgment and takes no rail.

Proposedrev 3 · editor, round 2 · this paragraph

Light and framing are separate choices: one frame may be lit for more than one season.

Open questionawaiting the owner · the lead-in and both items

Two choices are not yet made:

whether the catalog takes the square crop;
whether the winter set is reused.

Proposedrev 3 · editor, round 2 · this paragraph

Until both are answered, each frame records its crop as undecided.

The next section turns to color, and this paragraph takes no rail either.

A review judgment on whole blocks opens a range, even over one paragraph: a row placed after a block can be read as introducing what follows it. Each label leads its scope, and its rail ends after the last block it covers, so each judgment reads apart from its neighbors.

A basis or evidence row // after its block, no range

A statement recorded with its basis and its evidence, and no review judgment.

Damaged frames are reprinted from the original file.

One judgment on a whole item that no range holds makes the item its range: its row leads inside the bullet, and its scope rail sits in the lane every range uses, outside the bullet, ending just inside the item, so judged items in a row keep the list's own spacing. Inside a range, an item carries no review mark of its own. A judgment on exact words in an item that is not itself a range keeps its underline and its note after the item's text, and the note keeps 12px above it, so the line under the last words clears its label.

Two questions about one table // a prompt before its range

Open questionfor each frame marked for reprint in the table below, may it be printed again? · owner

Proposededitor, round 2 · the print plan

Frame	Reprint	Use
F-1	marked	catalog cover
F-2	not marked	inside spread
F-3	marked	back page

The plan's Proposed judgment opens the range. The separate reprint question stands just before it, outside the rail and outside a preceding range or unrelated group, and its record names the table below as its target, the marked rows as its scope and the owner as its decider. The table is shown once, and neither judgment, nor any answer to it, settles the other.

Several blocks // a range, opened by its row

Proposedrev 3 · editor, round 2 · both paragraphs Basiseditor draft

A first paragraph the proposal changes.

A second paragraph inside the same proposal: the scope rail ends after it.

Acceptedv2 · owner, round 1 · carried unchanged

A paragraph already accepted, its own range beside the proposal's.

The scope rail sits outside the content edge, where no passage rail is drawn, and runs from the label to the range's last block; the text inside does not move. A range of one paragraph is drawn the same way.

A list, and a quotation with its reading // one range each

Open questionawaiting the owner · the whole list

A first item.
A second item.
A third item.

Declinedowner, round 2 · the quotation and its reading

Represented voice, on its own violet rail.

A source

The sentence that reads the quotation, inside the same range.

Two statements in one cell // two ranges

Statements	Position
Acceptedreviewer, round 1 A first statement, accepted. Proposededitor, round 2 A second statement, proposed.	P-4 // the fourth position

These ranges sit in the table's first column, so its box takes .doc-table-scroll--range-lane: the box keeps the lane, the scope rails sit where a range's in the flow does, and no column moves. In any later column a range hangs into the gutter of the column before it.

One item, several questions // an annotation list

The bounded trial is a whole decision with a narrow scope. It supplies no evidence and permits no production use.

Words inside a block // a passage mark and its note

The frame keeps two props or fewer, and the key explains the marks.

Declinedon “a glossy stock” · owner, round 2

The scope cue is one solid line under the words, in the full review value, pending or decided; the words keep their color. Beside the document's link underline it stays apart in weight, place and continuity: 2px against the link's 1px, lower than the link's line, unbroken through descenders and full strength at rest, with no hover or focus of its own. A link inside marked words keeps its own line and states above it. A decided line says which words the decision concerns, not that it holds more widely.

Not yet testable // its whole contract

Not yet testableno readings can exist until next season

Lavender-gray, a dashed rail, a hollow marker and the visible label. Inside the note, the note's rail is the one rail.

Comparisons

One value, two axes

Green: Earned Supported Accepted
Red: Deflated Declined

A shared value is not a shared meaning. The square, the dot and the outline, the key and the words say which question each mark answers.

One callout, proposed and then accepted

Proposedround 2 · studio

Signs of use are welcome; damage is not.

Acceptedround 3 · owner

Signs of use are welcome; damage is not.

The rail at the content edge is the callout's and does not change with the decision. The scope rail outside it, and the mark that leads it, do.

The same word on two axes

State: Proposeda candidate pipeline stage, not yet pressured
Review: Proposedits adoption, for the lead's decision

The word and the magenta hue are shared, not the value: Spectral's proposed is its own theme-calibrated magenta, review's is the emphasis magenta. The key and the geometry, a square and an outline, say which question each answers.

Mark, chip or action

Proposedreview mark

thesis

compact action

The review mark and the chip share one box, the bordered label: the same padding, corner and edge. Its small corner keeps an inert mark from looking like a control beside a compact action. The mark differs from the chip in its fainter label words, its review vocabulary and its place, leading the range it opens, a whole list item included (whose scope rail sits outside the content edge), or a prompt before a range, or sitting in the cell, note, list or document record that bounds its scope, not in its color: a Proposed mark and a thesis chip share the emphasis magenta. The chip names why a unit is emphasized and heads a panel.
