What this page is
This is generated FPF reference text from the specification preface or supporting sections. It helps interpret FPF; it is not FPF Reference product documentation.
Methodology
Use it to understand how the specification wants to be read, then return to a route, pattern, or work packet for active work. Cite generated IDs only when the wording changes the task decision.
Content
- Exactly one governing definition per
DefaultId. - Any other mention in
G.xMUST be a citation/delegation to the governing definition, not a competing statement. - A default may be conditional (default-rule) with explicit applicability conditions.
- The Default Governing Definition Index SHALL NOT be used to “smuggle” mandatory invariants as defaults. Invariants remain invariants (typically cited through
CC‑GCORE‑…and their canonical governing definitions).
