-## 4. Soundness Boundary
+## 4. Polymorphic and Abstract Views
 
-Views are descriptive boundary metadata, not types and not proofs about opaque
-Tree Calculus terms. In particular, the checker does not claim parametricity,
-representation independence, or existential abstraction.
+View Contracts support portable polymorphism over Views. The View language is
+interpreted by the same portable checker model implemented in `tricu` terms.
 
-Raw Tree Calculus observation can distinguish values by their tree
-representation. A term advertised as `Fn [A] A` can inspect its argument and
-choose a representation-dependent result; a metadata-only checker cannot rule
-that out. The same issue applies transitively through higher-order arguments and
-dynamically constructed observers.
+Source syntax may use underscore-prefixed names as View variables inside
+annotations:
 
-The checker therefore accepts only monomorphic Views. Legacy `Var`, `Forall`,
-and `Exists` tags remain reserved so old artifacts fail deterministically, but
-they are not well-formed checker inputs.
+```tri
+id x@_a =@_a x
+const x@_a y@_b =@_a x
+compose f@(Fn [_b] _c) g@(Fn [_a] _b) x@_a =@_c f (g x)
+```
 
-The guarantees retained here are narrower:
+In the portable artifact, these lower to scoped View binders rather than
+unscoped source-name conventions. This fits the existing View encoding style:
+Views are tagged records with numeric tags and tagged fields. Polymorphic forms
+are View records such as:
 
-- View and typed-program envelopes are structurally well formed.
-- Declared monomorphic Views flow consistently across explicit typed nodes.
-- Guarded Views execute their predicates at represented boundaries.
-- Artifact references bind metadata to particular stored objects.
+```text
+Var localId
+Forall binders body
+Exists binders body
+```
 
-These guarantees do not establish that an opaque payload has an unguarded
-structural View such as `List` or `Fn`. Such Views are conventions/assertions
-used to place and compose checks. Only an executed guard observes the value.
+The current durable encoding uses stable local binder IDs. For example,
+`id x@_a =@_a x` exports a shape equivalent to:
+
+```text
+Forall [0] (Fn [Var 0] (Var 0))
+```
+
+Source names like `_a` are for authoring; the artifact carries binder scope and
+local IDs rather than relying on source-name identity.
+
+`Forall` supports generic contracts:
+
+```tri
+map f@(Fn [_a] _b) xs@(List _a) =@(List _b) ...
+head xs@(NonEmptyList _a) =@_a ...
+```
+
+At each checked use, the checker instantiates quantified variables into
+use-local internal variables and solves View compatibility constraints. The
+portable checker uses structural use-local IDs rather than expensive numeric
+freshening, and treats unconstrained variable-variable matches as constraints
+that do not create substitution cycles. Concrete observations still bind these
+variables when enough information is available. This is what lets explicitly
+annotated higher-order boundaries accept polymorphic values, for example
+`compose id id "x"`, and lets quantified values satisfy concrete requirements
+such as `Fn [String] String`. It gives useful polymorphic contracts for
+explicitly declared/imported View facts.
+
+`Exists` supports checked abstraction boundaries. A module can expose a value as
+"some representation `_repr` plus capabilities over `_repr`":
+
+```text
+Exists _repr.
+  Pair
+    (Fn [String] _repr)   -- constructor
+    (Fn [_repr] String)   -- renderer / eliminator
+```
+
+This does not make raw Tree Calculus inspection impossible. Unchecked code can
+always inspect trees. It means checked clients cannot justify
+representation-specific operations through the View system unless the package
+exports an appropriate capability or eliminator.
+
+This leads to an important distinction for future checked subsets:
+
+```text
+controlled observation: Bool/List/Maybe/Result/etc. eliminators with Views
+raw observation: direct tree-shape inspection through triage-like power
+```
+
+Useful application code can live mostly in the controlled fragment and receive
+explicit View validation over lambdas, application, let, and typed eliminators.
+Low-level library code may still use raw intensionality, but should expose
+disciplined Views and capabilities above it. Scott-encoded constructors and
+eliminators are a natural tricu-native representation for these APIs.
+
+Tree Calculus terms do not carry intrinsic principal Views, and raw intensional
+code can invalidate parametric claims. View Contracts are an explicit evidence
+and contract layer over tricu programs; limited polymorphic Views are supported
+when they are declared or imported as facts with provenance.
+
+The first stdlib annotation island starts with parametric functions that do not
+inspect representation:
+
+```tri
+id x@_a =@_a x
+const x@_a y@_b =@_a x
+compose f@(Fn [_b] _c) g@(Fn [_a] _b) x@_a =@_c f (g x)
+```
+
+Re-export-only modules preserve imported View metadata, so these contracts flow
+through `prelude` rather than only through direct `base` imports.
+
+Functions built on raw `t`/`triage` should enter the checked world through
+trusted, controlled eliminator contracts rather than by treating arbitrary raw
+inspection as parametric.
 
-See [the intensionality analysis](../notes/view-contract-trust-provenance.md) for
-the rationale and remaining limitations.

 they are not recursively decoded as view-tree nodes or Views unless the node's
 semantics explicitly says so.
 
-View facts may carry per-fact provenance:
+View facts may also carry explicit per-fact trust provenance:
 
 ```text
-Checked
-Trusted
-Unchecked
+Checked    -- derived by checked lowering / checker validation
+Trusted    -- asserted by a trusted boundary, e.g. a primitive eliminator API
+Unchecked  -- raw or assumed; no parametricity/abstraction guarantee
 ```
 
-These labels are retained for artifact compatibility and auditing. They identify
-the source of an assertion; they do not prove semantic membership, parametricity,
-or abstraction. An absent label is interpreted conservatively as `Unchecked`.
+In the portable view-tree envelope this provenance is represented as an optional
+field on `typedValue` / `typedRequire` facts. In module manifests the same
+provenance is carried beside the exported View Contract object reference so that
+imports and re-exports preserve it without relying on module-level convention.
+Absent provenance is interpreted conservatively as `Unchecked` at use sites.
 
-The former value-level polymorphic `viewFacts` catalogs and frontend
-raw-intensionality taint pass have been removed. Monomorphic imported facts may
-still be attached to exports, but consumers must treat them as assertions unless
-an executable guard enforces the relevant property.
+For parametric checked definitions, the frontend now performs a conservative
+raw-intensionality dependency pass over local definitions. If a definition with
+scoped View variables depends directly or indirectly on raw `triage` / raw `t`
+construction, or on an imported `Unchecked` fact, lowering fails and asks the
+author to route observation through a trusted eliminator boundary. This is
+intentionally provenance/dependency based; it is not an attempt to decide
+whether arbitrary Tree Calculus reduction will ever reach rule 3.
+
+View facts can be authored as ordinary value-level Tree Calculus metadata under
+one conventional top-level name:
+
+```text
+viewFacts = [fact ...]
+fact      = pair exportName (pair provenance view)
+```
+
+where `exportName` is a string naming a value exported by the module,
+`provenance` is `0 = Checked`, `1 = Trusted`, or `2 = Unchecked`, and `view` is
+the same portable View record used by `view-tree` artifacts. The host evaluates
+this value and decodes the data schema; it does not infer trust from source
+syntax, AST shape, module name, or a Haskell-side catalog.
+
+The initial trusted eliminator facts are authored this way in clearly separated
+stdlib `viewFacts` sections:
+
+```text
+matchBool  : forall r. r -> r -> Bool -> r
+matchMaybe : forall a r. r -> (a -> r) -> Maybe a -> r
+matchList  : forall a r. r -> (a -> List a -> r) -> List a -> r
+```
+
+The `base` module provides small `facts*` authoring helpers for this advanced
+metadata, e.g. `factsFact`, `factsChecked`, `factsTrusted`, `factsUnchecked`,
+`factsForall`, `factsFn`, `factsVar`, `factsBool`, `factsString`, `factsByte`,
+`factsUnit`, `factsMaybe`, and `factsList`. These helpers construct ordinary
+Tree data; authority comes from the exported `viewFacts` value and its explicit
+provenance tags. Loader validation rejects duplicate fact names and facts for
+names the module does not export.
+
+Initial derived stdlib annotations using this trusted kernel include:
+
+```text
+maybeMap  : forall a b. (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> Maybe b
+maybeBind : forall a b. Maybe a -> (a -> Maybe b) -> Maybe b
+maybeOr   : forall a. a -> Maybe a -> a
+```
+
+Recursive list combinators are currently published as explicit `Trusted`
+value-level facts rather than `Checked` source annotations, because their bodies
+pass through raw fixed-point machinery that the conservative parametric taint
+pass intentionally does not prove safe. This is the stabilized boundary: raw
+stdlib kernels establish conventions with explicit authority; ordinary checked
+clients consume those facts rather than re-proving the internals.
+
+```text
+headMaybe / lastMaybe / nthMaybe
+append / map / filter / foldl / foldr
+length / reverse / snoc / count / all? / any? / intersect
+take / drop / splitAt / concatMap / find / partition / zipWith
+string/list-byte helpers such as strLength, startsWith?, lines, words

-# View Contracts at the intensionality boundary
+# View Contract trust provenance and controlled intensionality
 
-## Conclusion
+## Problem
 
-Tree Calculus does not support the abstraction theorem that the former
-parametric View design assumed. Views can remain useful as boundary metadata and
-as instructions for runtime guard placement, but they must not be presented as
-types, proofs of parametricity, or representation-hiding abstraction.
+Tree Calculus / tricu code can perform raw intensional observation through `t` /
+`triage`-like power. Exact detection of whether an arbitrary term ever reaches
+rule 3 is undecidable: the SK fragment is already Turing-complete, and a program
+can construct/apply an intensional observer iff an encoded machine halts.
 
-## Fundamental conflicts
+Therefore View Contracts must not rely on an exact semantic test for "will this
+term inspect representation?".
 
-### Raw observation defeats representation independence
+## Key correction
 
-A parametric contract such as:
+A purely syntactic invariant such as "the initial tree contains no
+`Fork(Fork(_, _), _)`" is not reduction-closed. For example:
 
 ```text
-forall a. a -> a
+Fork (Stem (Fork a b)) c  ==>  Fork (Fork a b) c
 ```
 
-normally relies on code being unable to learn anything about `a`. A Tree
-Calculus term can inspect the tree supplied at `a`, distinguish
-representations, and return a representation-dependent value. The View variable
-does not hide or seal that tree.
+So absence of a current rule-3 redex is not enough.
 
-The same breaks existential abstraction. Advertising a payload as
-`exists repr. ...` changes no operational capability: a client can still
-inspect the representation directly.
+## Direction
 
-### Opaque payloads are asserted, not checked
+Use explicit provenance/capability discipline, not exact intensionality
+decision.
 
-A typed-value node carries an executable tree beside a View. Metadata validation
-deliberately treats that executable field as opaque. Consequently, accepting a
-node proves that the envelope and View are well formed; it does not prove that
-the tree denotes the advertised `Fn`, `List`, `Maybe`, or other structural
-View.
+View Contract checking and parametric checked-subset validation are distinct:
 
-Provenance labels do not change this. `Checked` and `Trusted` record where an
-assertion came from, but neither is a derivation that another implementation can
-replay to establish the assertion.
+- View Contract checking: verifies executable tree artifacts against declared
+  boundary Views.
+- Parametric checked-subset validation: verifies that abstraction/parametricity
+  claims do not depend on raw untrusted intensional observation.
 
-### Syntactic taint is not a semantic parametricity proof
+Unchecked/raw Tree Calculus can always inspect trees. Existential/abstract Views
+are checker-level opacity: checked clients cannot justify representation-specific
+operations unless an exported trusted capability/eliminator provides them.
 
-Rejecting direct uses of `t` or `triage` is neither complete nor a stable
-soundness boundary:
+## Provenance model
 
-- an observer can be assembled after reduction;
-- observation can arrive through higher-order or dynamically selected code;
-- unknown external code can hide observation;
-- absence of a rule-3 redex is not reduction-closed;
-- exact detection would subsume non-trivial termination/reachability questions.
+Contract facts/artifacts should carry explicit provenance. Do not rely on module
+or catalog convention.
 
-A conservative taint pass can define a programming convention, but it cannot
-justify the parametric or abstraction guarantees previously attached to Views.
+Recommended durable provenance classes:
 
-### Flow checking only checks represented flow
+```text
+Checked  -- derived by checked lowering / checker validation
+Trusted  -- asserted by a trusted boundary, e.g. a primitive eliminator API
+Unchecked -- no abstraction/parametricity guarantee; raw/assumed fact if exposed
+```
 
-The checker sees frontend-emitted value, application, and requirement nodes. It
-can check consistency among those nodes, but it cannot establish that the graph
-faithfully represents every use performed by the opaque executable payload.
-This is useful artifact validation, not whole-program typing.
+The correct granularity is per exported View fact, not per module. A single
+module may contain checked definitions, trusted eliminators, and unchecked raw
+helpers.
 
-## Retained contract
+## Controlled intensionality
 
-The reduced checker may soundly claim only:
+Raw intensionality should be tracked by dependency/provenance, not syntax-only.
 
-1. View, node, and program envelopes satisfy their declared data schemas.
-2. Explicit monomorphic View facts are propagated consistently through the
-   represented application graph.
-3. A `Guarded` View causes its executable predicate to run at represented
-   boundaries, and guard failure prevents checked execution.
-4. Content-addressed references prevent an attached View artifact from silently
-   drifting to a different stored object.
+- Direct `triage` / arbitrary `t` eliminator use is raw intensional capability.
+- Trusted eliminators expose controlled observation and do not taint clients.
+- Calling unchecked/untrusted code taints the caller for parametricity purposes.
+- Constructors/literals are not automatically tainting unless they expose raw
+  inspection power.
 
-Items 1, 2, and 4 establish metadata integrity, not semantic membership in an
-unguarded View. Item 3 is the only retained mechanism that observes an ordinary
-runtime value.
+Parametric checked mode rejects annotated definitions whose derivation depends
+on raw/untrusted intensionality, while trusted facts may describe raw internals
+behind explicit contracts.
 
-## Code direction
+## Trusted eliminator kernel
 
-The initial rollback therefore:
+First trusted observation capabilities should be the smallest useful kernels:
 
-- removes View-variable instantiation, substitution, and unification from the
-  portable checker;
-- rejects `Var`, `Forall`, and `Exists` as checker inputs while reserving
-  their legacy tags for deterministic decoding;
-- removes the frontend raw-intensionality taint pass;
-- removes polymorphic stdlib annotations and value-level View facts;
-- retains monomorphic View flow, artifact plumbing, diagnostics, and executable
-  guards.
+```text
+matchBool  : forall r. r -> r -> Bool -> r
+matchMaybe : forall a r. r -> (a -> r) -> Maybe a -> r
+matchList  : forall a r. r -> (a -> List a -> r) -> List a -> r
+```
 
-Further simplification should treat unguarded structural Views as descriptive
-labels. If stronger guarantees are desired later, they require an operational
-mechanism such as runtime recognizers/seals or a genuinely restricted language
-whose evaluator enforces the restriction. Metadata provenance alone is
-insufficient.
+Derived functions should be checked against these trusted capabilities where
+possible. Raw recursive kernels and other code
+that passes through fixed-point/intensional machinery should publish explicit
+`Trusted` facts rather than being treated as checked.
+
+Current stdlib shape:
+
+```text
+Checked annotations where the body checks through trusted capabilities:
+  maybeMap  : forall a b. (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> Maybe b
+  maybeBind : forall a b. Maybe a -> (a -> Maybe b) -> Maybe b
+  maybeOr   : forall a. a -> Maybe a -> a
+
+Trusted value-level facts for raw/recursive stdlib boundaries:
+  headMaybe / lastMaybe / nthMaybe
+  append / map / filter / foldl / foldr
+  length / reverse / snoc / count / all? / any? / intersect
+  take / drop / splitAt / concatMap / find / partition / zipWith
+  string/list-byte helpers such as strLength, startsWith?, lines, words
+```
+
+Do not assign total contracts to partial APIs such as:
+
+```text
+head : List a -> a
+```
+
+Prefer `headMaybe : List a -> Maybe a`, or later introduce `NonEmptyList a`.
+
+## Implementation order
+
+Most-correct tractable path:
+
+1. Add contract provenance to the Haskell View model and portable artifacts. ✅
+2. Preserve provenance through module exports/imports/re-exports. ✅
+3. Teach checker environments to distinguish checked vs trusted facts. ✅
+4. Add trusted stdlib eliminator facts. ◐ initial value-level `viewFacts` landed for `matchBool`, `matchMaybe`, `matchList`; Haskell trusted catalog removed
+5. Add parametric-mode dependency/effect checking. ◐ local raw-dependency and unchecked-import rejection landed
+6. Annotate/publish derived stdlib Views at the right provenance. ◐ checked `maybeMap`/`maybeBind`/`maybeOr`; trusted value-level facts for recursive list combinators
+
+Avoid introducing implicit trusted catalogs before provenance exists; that would
+create semantics that later need to be unwound.
