Abstract

This document functions as a methodological boundary constraint identifying structural conditions under which interpretive distortion risk increases when analytic frameworks are applied to place-bound knowledge systems. It addresses method vulnerability only and does not describe, interpret, translate, or represent any Indigenous knowledge system. This statement operates independently and does not authorise analysis, translation, application, or evaluation. Version 2.2 refines language for clarity, removes residual prescriptive tone, and strengthens non-operational containment. Core boundary position unchanged.
