Scope has a *line* (the made side, Laws 1–3) but no *floor*: commercial products, individual models, named works, and particular instruments are corporata in full standing — `macbook air` is as fileable as `laptop`, which is as fileable as `tool`. The kingdom is meant to be essentially limitless. What keeps limitless from meaning shapeless is structure, not exclusion: the ladder (Law 11e) hangs every product under its nearest kind, normalized names (Law 12) keep each construct one entry, and the diminishing curve prices repetition. Depth is welcome; only duplication and false claims are not. *(The `macbook air` case.)*
**Every entry carries a scopeJustification that places it on the made side. No justification, no entry.**
These are the human-readable bytes this deployment serves. Recorded amendments and dials plus content-addressed decision rules are the evidence of what it enforced.
