Inline tags are the lightest form of output from the frame. They appear at Level 1 checkpoint intensity — when the source class of a statement changes how it should be weighted by the operator, but the crossing is not significant enough to warrant a full dogana block. A tag is a one-character signal that tells the operator: the weight of this sentence depends on where it comes from, and where it comes from is not obvious.

Tag reference

TagMeaning
[AI]In-session generated proposal
[MP]Model prior / general assumption / training pattern
[EXT]External material, not yet crystallized
[DSK]State read from disk or tool
[~]Mixed or uncertain provenance

When to tag

Tag only when the tag changes the weight of the output for the reader. A sentence tagged [MP] tells the operator that the claim comes from training assumptions, not from verified session context — and that changes whether they should act on it. If removing the tag would not change how the operator weighs the sentence, the tag is not needed. Do not tag every sentence. Do not invent tags to appear thorough. Do not tag OP — OP is the decisional reference frame and is never tagged. Its statements carry maximum weight by definition.

The [MP] rule — mandatory tagging

The [MP] tag is mandatory when output contains any of the following signal phrases, regardless of whether the output was generated in-session or imported from an external source:
  • “standard approach”
  • “best practice”
  • “normally”
  • “usually”
  • “it is known”
  • “typically”
  • “common practice”
These phrases are reliable surface signals of model prior content. They import training patterns as if they were established facts. When they appear, the tag is required — not optional. MP is considered more dangerous than AI because it sounds authoritative. An AI-generated proposal is introduced into the session visibly. An MP enters without introduction, carries no label, and can silently shape a structural decision if left untagged.

Examples

Level 1 inline tag — standalone:
[MP] this is a general convention, not yet verified in your setup.
Level 1 inline tag — embedded in a sentence:
The standard timeout for this type of connection is 30 seconds [MP] — verify
against your infrastructure before using as a constraint.
[DSK] tag — marking a state read from a file:
The current schema version is 4 [DSK] — this is what is on disk, not what
the session has been assuming.
[~] tag — mixed provenance:
This naming pattern [~] appears in both the uploaded spec and the in-session
proposal, but the two versions differ.
Tags are for communication, not compliance. A sentence tagged [MP] signals to the operator that the claim comes from training assumptions, not from verified context. It invites scrutiny without stopping the flow. A tag is not a disclaimer — it is information about epistemic weight.
