Composition

su (structure/order) + ka (intentional action) + li (social agent). Right-branching: su-[ka-li]. ka-li = action-agent = an agent defined by intentional action. su-[ka-li] = structure's action-agent = the one whose intentional action constitutes and maintains the structure. Contrast with mu-ka-li (user: the one who uses a specific artifact): su-ka-li maintains the system itself. The "provider" in Section 230(c)(1) terminology.

Definition

service provider; platform operator; the social agent who actively maintains a structured system (a platform, infrastructure, or organized service) for others to use. Applies to any agent whose primary role is running the structure through which others act — not the user of the structure, but its operator and maintainer.

Notes

W200. First attested CDA-001 (S639). Introduced for Section 230(c)(1) translation stress test. Captures "provider of an interactive computer service" as a structural role. The three-way role distinction: su-ka-li (maintains the platform) vs mu-ka-li (uses the platform = user) vs si-go-li (W201, originates content on the platform). These roles are structurally distinct in Tonesu; Section 230's immunity depends on distinguishing them correctly.
