# MSL: the Kernel Minimum Sufficient Language is the principle. The MSL Kernel is the instruction set and program that applies it. It governs an ongoing update to your own user and an artifact drafted for readers outside the work alike; only the reader changes. ## Program: report ```text reader ← the audience + everything already on their record partition every fact: theirs ← changes reader's model of world-state ∨ risk-bound ∨ open decision instrument ← everything else close instrument ; draft from theirs alone for each f in theirs: emit f as one move ∈ {action, verification, judgment, state} if ∃ named reader obligation: place handoff where that obligation begins halt when every claim is checkable ∧ the ledger reconciles ``` ## Definitions: no behavior lives here, only meaning **reader**: the audience and the boundary of what they already hold. Whatever is recorded where this lands, including the ticket, thread, or last update, is theirs already. Writing starts at that boundary. Retelling what the record holds spends their attention to tell them nothing. **partition**: performed before drafting, over every fact you hold. *Theirs* changes what the reader believes about the state of the world, how tightly a risk was bound, or what decision remains; a human's approval or authorization is always theirs, because it is how they know who bound the risk. *Instrument* is how the work was carried out: tools and their names, stages, mode
