Justification
What has been written down.
Six fields are required of every node. Empty ones are shown as declared gaps — a gap means nothing has been written, not that there is nothing to write.
Definition
CommentProduction, distribution, exchange and accumulation structures through which scarce resources and goods and services are created and allocated across institutional units.
Inclusion
Comment- production systems, and firms and households as producers within boundary
- market exchange and price formation structures
- distribution and redistribution mechanisms
- the monetary and financial system as allocation infrastructure
- accounting and measurement infrastructure representing economic activity
Exclusion
Comment- unpaid domestic services outside the SNA production boundary — goes to economic
- legal validity and rights — goes to legal
- technological capability absent allocation or scarcity structures — goes to technological
Sources
CommentDeclared gap No sources have been cited.
Boundary cases
CommentDeclared gap No boundary cases have been recorded.
Uncertainty
Comment- The first exclusion points back at this domain, which is not an exclusion. Either unpaid domestic work belongs somewhere specific or the boundary needs restating.
Rules
Whether this division survives the six rules.
Rules 1, 5 and 6 are checked by the validator and reported here. Rules 2, 3 and 4 are judgements about meaning and cannot be automated — no state is claimed for them. The rules themselves are set out in the method.
At most seven
Not applicable. This node is not a division.
Mutually exclusive
A judgement about whether the parts overlap. Not automated.
Collectively exhaustive
A judgement about what the parts leave out. Not automated.
Equal abstraction
A judgement about whether the parts answer the same question type. Not automated.
Decomposable or terminal
No children and not marked terminal — unfinished, rather than an endpoint.
Justified in writing
4 of the six fields carry content. The rest are declared gaps.
