First use	S130 (CF-001-E): "if the engine had failed, the ship would have drifted."

Composition

to (conceptual pattern) + go (cause/origin) — conceptual causal frame

Definition

A compound frame marker (not a content word) that extends the causal conditional frame go [X] Y into non-actual space. to-go [X] Y asserts that IF [X] obtained (non-actual premise), THEN [Y] would follow (non-actual result). The to- modifier lifts the entire causal frame out of actuality- assertion into the conceptual/hypothetical domain. Classification: to-go functions structural like go and du — as a frame-level particle — not like a lexical compound. See spec/grammar.md § Counterfactual Frame for full grammatical definition and examples.

Notes

Two-axis design: to-go marks non-actuality; ti-de markers inside clause mark past-time location. These are independent. - Future hypothetical: to-go [lo-X de] result - Past counterfactual: to-go [lo-X de ti-de] result ti-de Attributed form: la-X to [to-go [premise] result] = X holds the counterfactual as their own epistemic model (used in on-record assertions).
