Definition
Transition Table is a canonical formalism for classifying transition posture.
It helps separate what happened, what was reviewed, what had authority, and what can bind consequence.
Source Boundary
Admissible-Existence defines the formalism. Publisher publishes papers and public exposition. The Admissibility Wiki mirrors, relates, crosswalks, and discovers relationships.
The wiki is not the source authority for this formalism.
Scope
Transition Table applies where a system needs to inspect a transition across input, review, authority, evidence, policy, boundary, commitment, receipt, and outcome.
Purpose
The purpose of Transition Table is to prevent a single label such as approved, visible, or executed from hiding the actual governance posture of a transition.
Core Constructs
| Construct | Role |
|---|---|
| Transition | Proposed or attempted state change. |
| Transition posture | Current classification of the transition. |
| Authority class | Kind of authority claimed or required. |
| Policy reference | Governing rule or constraint. |
| Evidence posture | Evidence state supporting or failing to support the transition. |
| Review posture | Review state and standing. |
| Commit-time validity | Whether standing remains at the moment consequence would bind. |
| Receipt | Record supporting reconstruction of the transition path. |
Related Canonical Formalisms
| Related Formalism | Relationship |
|---|---|
| Governance-Centered and Boundary-Centered Admissibility Testing | Uses transition posture as an admissibility classification surface. |
| Runtime Transition Governance | Applies transition classification at runtime or execution boundary. |
| Boundary Conditions | Helps determine whether a transition is inside the required boundary. |
| State Transition Continuity Model | Evaluates continuity across state changes. |
| Decision Continuity | Preserves decision standing across transition records. |
| Continuity Handoff Formalism | Preserves transition context across handoffs. |
Mathematical Candidates
Status: pending source-confirmed extraction from canonical source or publication artifacts.
Proof Candidates
Status: pending source-confirmed extraction from canonical source or publication artifacts.
Validation Candidates
Status: pending source-confirmed extraction from canonical source or publication artifacts.
Validation candidates should include stale-state, denied, escalated, refused, and failed-closed examples when public-safe source artifacts are available.
Publication Artifacts

External Crosswalk Targets
| External Framework | Relationship |
|---|---|
| GLM | May help declare pre-transition claims, non-claims, scope, and boundary frame. |
| EVIDE | May help preserve post-transition evidence for reconstruction. |
These are crosswalk targets only. They do not replace canonical formalism definition.
Open Questions
Which exact Admissible-Existence source file defines the canonical Transition Table?
Which table states are canonical versus explanatory?
Which visual references are accepted publication artifacts?
Which tests validate stale, denied, escalated, refused, and failed-closed states?
Non-Claims
This wiki page does not define, prove, or validate the formalism. The public visual reference is exposition, not canonical source authority. A listed relationship does not imply accepted formal equivalence.
