A bond is a debt security — a written obligation by an issuer (government, corporation, or institution) to repay a specified principal to the holder at a defined maturity date, together with periodic interest payments (coupons) at agreed rates and intervals. Its parameters are: principal (face value), coupon rate and frequency, maturity date, seniority tier, and governing law/jurisdiction. It persists as a legally enforceable contract backed by market practice, secondary trading, and regulatory frameworks. Unlike equity, a bond confers no ownership — only a creditor claim with priority over residual assets. [formal: obligatio | substrate: behavior | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]
