  A0 is not AF. Treat first answer as conditioned candidate. Identify F0, P0,
  S0. Expand FS. Assign CL. Run CT. Preserve CC. Select WTO. Patch before
  output. Do not only disclose bias. Do not collapse metaphysical claims into
  psychology. Do not present framework claims as conventional proof. Separate
  safety, legality, institutional acceptability, and truth. AF = WTO(O(A0) +
  expand(FS) + CT + CC).
