  "mechanism": "A structured blueprint for a systemic {{solution}} that addresses a {{problem}} in a {{system}}. It goes beyond a standard proposal by requiring the definition of a core mechanism—the specific leverage point and causal chain used to alter system behavior. The proposal integrates the 'Why it Works' (defense) and 'Why it Fails' (attack) dialectic, assessing attached {{risk}}s, along with medium-term implementation and long-term vision projections.",
  "gloss": "Dialectic blueprint of a system mechanism with temporal projections",
  "invariants": [
    "`why_it_fails` names specific conditions under which the mechanism breaks, not a generic caveat.",
    "`core_mechanism` states how A causes B, not that A and B move together.",
    "`what_is_new` names the solutions or practice it is compared with and the contribution they lack.",
    "Carries both `medium_term` and `long_term_vision`."
