Composition

ne (relation/connection) + fe (boundary/limit) — a relation whose boundary must be satisfied; a connection that is a structural requirement, not merely a link. Head-final: fe (boundary) is the head; ne specifies the type of boundary (relational dependency).

Definition

dependency condition; requirement; the state of being in a relation that must be maintained for integrity. "X ne-fe Y" = X is in a dependency-condition toward Y; X requires Y.

Notes

Resolves the S057 gap: "need/functional dependency" cannot be expressed purely as a causal prediction (no-Y go de) without reframing the proposition type. ne-fe produces a genuine state predication. ne-fe in predicate slot is unambiguous despite ne being a particle: the ne particle expects a following noun phrase; ne-fe fused is itself the predicate. Contrast with wi (desire/intention): ne-fe is structural dependency, independent of volition. An unconscious patient ne-fe ma; wi requires a conscious agent. Contrast with no-Y go de (causal frame): says "absence-of-Y causes decay"; ne-fe says "is in a condition requiring Y" — present-state claim, not prediction. Negation: no-ne-fe = non-dependency = does not need (S063). Generality confirmed: S058–S063 across biological, mechanical, institutional, and abstract domains.

ne (primitive: relation), fe (primitive: boundary), wi (primitive: will/intention), no (primitive: negation), S057 (causal paraphrase), S058–S063 (stress tests)

Examples

"lo-zo-li ne-fe ma" — the person needs substance/water (S058) "lo-su ne-fe ra" — the structure requires energy "lo-mu ne-fe lo-ki" — the device requires motion (e.g. must be wound)
