Normative Modalities

This instrument defines specific modalities of human agency and fundamental freedoms. The RDF properties and SHACL shapes parsed below codify these rights as affirmable undertakings binding upon actors.

Note: We strictly map these rights to the natural person, prioritizing self-determination and autonomy. Institutional constructs (such as corporate personhood) are explicitly disjoint from these human-centric dignity classifications within the SHACL constraints.

Contextual Data Structures (CML & nquins)

The underlying structure of this schema utilizes nquins and Context Markup Language (CML) to provide deep, context-aware semantic mapping.

This architecture ensures that whenever multiple cryptography-supported identifiers are utilized to manage state or attribute assertions, they remain entirely enumerated and compartmentalized. This prevents the blending of distinct agent presence modalities and secures the structural integrity of the Human-Centric system against opaque institutional tracking.

# ===========================================================================
# ICCPR Art. 4(2) — the explicitly NON-DEROGABLE articles (Hohfeldian immunity).
# An Exemptive (an Art. 4 derogation in a public emergency) CANNOT defeat these
# (illocution.rs Norm::immune blocks the override). VERBATIM list from Art. 4(2):
# "No derogation from articles 6, 7, 8 (paragraphs 1 and 2), 11, 15, 16 and 18 may be
# made under this provision." — factual transcription, not a curation judgment.
