# Assemble qualification from elements ## Intent I want to derive the elements of an offence only when every element is established. ## Wrong form and why it stays silent ```text title="Incorrect form" // Освобождение от ответственности удаляет один из элементов или сам offence. ``` Qualification, liability, and exemption are different conclusions. Withdrawal is addressed at liable; offence is preserved. ## Correct form ```law language "law.core" version "0.2"; package recipes.g.r07 version "0.1.0"; namespace "urn:recipe:g-concepts:07"; entity Person; relation eligible(p: Person) kind institutional; relation young(p: Person) kind empirical; relation act(p: Person); relation culpable(p: Person); relation offence(p: Person); relation exempt(p: Person); relation liable(p: Person); rule Qualify strict { for p: Person; when act(p) and culpable(p); then offence(p); } rule Liability defeasible { for p: Person; when offence(p); then liable(p); unless exempt(p); } ``` ## Frozen execution scene | Facts on 13.09.2026 | Question | Answer | |---|---|---| | all elements | `truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")))` | `truth_status == TRUE_ONLY;` / `COMPUTED` | | an element missing | `truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")))` | `truth_status == NEITHER;` / `COMPUTED` | | exemption, elements preserved | `truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")))` | `truth_status == TRUE_ONLY;` / `COMPUTED` | | liability withdrawn | `truth(liable(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")))` | `truth_status == NEITHER;` / `COMPUTED` | ```law test "complete elements constitute offence" { given { context { legal_time @2026-09-13; decision_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; knowledge_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; timezone "Asia/Almaty"; } assert act(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert culpable(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); } evaluate truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p"))); expect truth_status == TRUE_ONLY; expect evaluation_status == COMPUTED; } ``` ```law test "missing element stays unknown" { given { context { legal_time @2026-09-13; decision_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; knowledge_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; timezone "Asia/Almaty"; } assert act(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); } evaluate truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p"))); expect truth_status == NEITHER; expect evaluation_status == COMPUTED; } ``` ```law test "exemption preserves composition" { given { context { legal_time @2026-09-13; decision_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; knowledge_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; timezone "Asia/Almaty"; } assert act(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert culpable(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert exempt(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); } evaluate truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p"))); expect truth_status == TRUE_ONLY; expect evaluation_status == COMPUTED; } ``` ```law test "lifted liability stays unknown" { given { context { legal_time @2026-09-13; decision_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; knowledge_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; timezone "Asia/Almaty"; } assert act(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert culpable(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert exempt(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); } evaluate truth(liable(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p"))); expect truth_status == NEITHER; expect evaluation_status == COMPUTED; } ``` The exception is wrongly moved into Qualify: with exemption, offence disappears. ```law test "exemption on composition rule removes offence" { given { context { legal_time @2026-09-13; decision_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; knowledge_time @2026-09-13T09:00:00+05:00; timezone "Asia/Almaty"; } assert act(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert culpable(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); assert exempt(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p")); } evaluate truth(offence(entity_ref("urn:recipe:g-concepts:07:p"))); expect truth_status == NEITHER; expect evaluation_status == COMPUTED; } ``` ```python >>> import runpy >>> check = runpy.run_path("docs/recipes/g-concepts/resources/check.py") >>> check["check_variant"](https://github.com/arxohq/law/blob/master/docs/recipes/g-concepts/7) 'Г7: контрфактуал подтверждён; lawc = lawref' ``` ## Counterfactual Mutation `rule Liability defeasible` → `rule Liability strict`: LDC-E4110. ## Boundary The set of elements is given by the source. The presence of fact act does not prove culpable; channels of guilt and judgment are separate profiles.
