speculate
Since v0.1.0 (epistemic lattice) · Top-level declaration
Grammar
speculate {
# declarations / flow steps whose derivations carry the `speculate` level
}
speculate is one of the four epistemic scopes (know > believe >
speculate > doubt): a block form that stamps every derivation
inside it with its level of the uncertainty lattice.
Semantics
hypothesis space — permitted, but marked; downstream consumers see the level.
The lattice is load-bearing at the EGRESS boundaries: document (v2.53.0)
and deliver (v2.60.0) read the level to decide whether content may leave
as an assertion, must carry attribute:, or is refused — the
assertion-laundering barrier.
