R-DCC — Derived Capability Classes
R-DCC introduces Derived Capability Classes (DCCs) — named bundles of substrate axioms and capabilities that are frequently assumed together in research papers. R-DCC is a non-normative reference document; it introduces no new axioms, mechanisms, or theoretical claims.
Goals of DCCs:
- Eliminate repeated axiom enumeration in B-series and other papers
- Make capability assumptions explicit, named, and reviewable
- Preserve axiomatic traceability without polluting representational derivations
- Strengthen programme coherence and scalability
What is a DCC: A named collection of axioms that together define a substrate capability envelope. Structure includes: name (e.g., DCC-QM), capability description, axiom bundle, R-CCC mapping, and usage guidance.
What DCCs Are: Named capability bundles for convenience; synthesis of existing axioms; reference material for consistent capability assumptions.
What DCCs Are NOT: New axioms or primitives; normative requirements (always non-normative); replacements for explicit axiom references in derivations; mechanisms or theoretical claims.
