Composition

to (knowledge/pattern) + fe (boundary/limit/category) — knowledge-boundary; the edge between one epistemic status and the next

Definition

epistemic boundary; the categorical line between epistemic states; the principle that se/si/to/to-su are not interchangeable

Notes

Does not denote a boundary in physical space but a boundary in epistemic category. The root fe already covers all category-edges (physical, temporal, abstract); to-fe specifies the knowledge-category application. Derived forms: to-fe-ki (unintentional epistemic category confusion; honest error, accidental — entered a wrong epistemic category); to-fe-ka (deliberate epistemic boundary violation; see W029). The distinction between to-fe-ki and to-fe-ka mirrors Domain 2: the same ki/ka pair that separates natural transition from deliberate action.

to (W—), fe (primitive), to-fe-ka (W029)
