Theory-specific commutativity squares, LicensingPipeline instances, concrete
dimension chain instantiations, and end-to-end licensing theorems. Builds on
the theory-neutral infrastructure in Core/MereoDim.lean, Core/Time.lean,
Core/Path.lean, and Core/Scale.lean.
Three Levels of Unification #
LicensingPipeline instances:
Telicity,VendlerClass,PathShapejoinBoundedness,MereoTag,BoundaryTypeas pipeline sources.Full commutativity diamond: All six classification paths converge at
Boundedness. Proved pairwise: VendlerClass → Telicity → Boundedness = VendlerClass → scaleBoundedness, and likewise for PathShape.Concrete dimension chains: Temporal (τ, dur), spatial (σ, dist), and object (θ, μ) chains instantiate
DimensionChain, with end-to-end QUA transfer theorems.Dimension irrelevance: The licensing prediction depends only on the mereological tag (QUA/CUM), not on which dimension (temporal/spatial/object) the chain traverses. This is the "all the same theorem" claim.
Telicity maps to scale boundedness via MereoTag: telic → QUA → closed, atelic → CUM → open. Derived through the compositional chain Telicity →.toMereoTag MereoTag →.toBoundedness Boundedness. This is the shared core of all four licensing frameworks: @cite{kennedy-2007}, @cite{rouillard-2026}, @cite{krifka-1989}, @cite{zwarts-2005}.

VendlerClass → Telicity → Boundedness = VendlerClass → Boundedness. Both paths route through the same compositional chain (VendlerClass →.telicity Telicity →.toMereoTag MereoTag →.toBoundedness Boundedness), so agreement is definitional.
PathShape → Telicity → Boundedness = PathShape → Boundedness.
The compositional chain (PathShape → Telicity → MereoTag → Boundedness)
agrees with the direct PathShape.toBoundedness from Core/Path.lean.
This is a genuine commutativity proof: the Core-level direct classification
and the Theories-level compositional derivation yield the same result.
MereoTag.qua = Boundedness.closed.
MereoTag.cum = Boundedness.open_.
BoundaryType.closed = Boundedness.closed.
BoundaryType.open_ = Boundedness.open_.
The full commutativity diamond: every path through the classification diagram produces the same licensing prediction. With compositional chains, the VendlerClass and PathShape arms are definitional (both sides route through the same chain).

Temporal end-to-end: QUA on ℚ → QUA on Events through τ then dur.
Spatial dimension chain: Events →σ Paths →dist ℚ.

Object end-to-end: QUA on ℚ → QUA on Events through θ then μ.
The three chains produce the same licensing from the same mereological source. This is "all the same theorem": regardless of which dimension (temporal, spatial, object), QUA → telic → closed → licensed and CUM → atelic → open → blocked. The dimension is irrelevant.
