	Standards are not isolated. A Governing Standard may depend on a Candidate Reference Standard, which in turn may be informed by Organizational, Requested, or Personal Standards — a recursive calibration chain ("turtles all the way down").		Standards are not isolated. A Governing Standard may depend on a Candidate Reference Standard, which in turn may be informed by Organizational, Requested, or Personal Standards — a recursive calibration chain ("turtles all the way down") — with one important difference from the original metaphor: this chain does not regress infinitely with nothing underneath it. It terminates in [[#Relationship to the Master Standard\|reality itself]] as the base reference. The turtles are real, but there is a floor.

	The framework must remain capable of calibrating the standards used to calibrate other standards, without creating circularity or protected classes.

Every standard — regardless of Type — must state its '''Purpose''', '''Success Criterion''', '''Failure Criterion''', and '''Scope of Validity''' before it can enter calibration.

	The first three establish what the standard is measured against. '''Scope of Validity''' establishes where it is not claimed to apply — the operating range outside of which the standard should not be assumed to hold. Without a stated scope, a standard is vulnerable to silent over-generalization: a mechanism validated in one domain gets assumed to transfer cleanly to another without that transfer ever being tested.
