Declaration
Measures an organization's ambiguity load against its resolution capacity (rho = Z/mu) and locates the operating zone, supplying environmental state and repair-capacity measurements that action-governance systems can consume.

Coordination
offers: ambiguity-load measurement, repair-capacity signals
needs: independent replication, instrumentation partners
