claims_extracted: []
enrichments:
  - "vocabulary is architecture because domain-native schema terms eliminate the per-interaction translation tax that causes knowledge system abandonment"
  - "the determinism boundary separates guaranteed agent behavior from probabilistic compliance because hooks enforce structurally while instructions degrade under context load"
  - "active forgetting through selective removal maintains knowledge system health because perfect retention degrades usefulness the same way hyperthymesia overwhelms biological memory"
extraction_notes: "Domain application article — positions/theses/edges/regimes schema. Pre-trade check hook is the strongest domain-specific implementation of the determinism boundary — fires at moment of maximum emotional load. Edge decay detection is the trader's forgetting mechanism. No standalone NEW claims."
