First use ACA-001, ACA Individual Mandate (S645): wi-fe la-i-zo-li ko lo-su-zo-ko

Composition

su (structure/order) + zo (organism/life) + ko (containment). Right-branching: su-(zo-ko). zo-ko = organism-containment = the act or state of protecting a living being. su-(zo-ko) = structure-of-[organism-containment] = the organized systemic form that organism-protection takes. The head is zo-ko; su qualifies it as systematic and structural rather than incidental. Contrast: ko alone = physical containment (vessel); zo-ko = organism-specific protective containment; su-zo-ko = the institutionally organized form of organism-protection = coverage as a systemic structure.

Definition

coverage; protective welfare structure; the systematic regime of organized protection for living persons. In policy contexts, the institutional structure (insurance, benefits system) that provides organized protection for an individual's organism-state. The ACA's "minimum essential coverage" is a su-zo-ko in the health-mandate sense.

Notes

W204. First attested ACA-001 (S645). Introduced for ACA Individual Mandate translation stress test. Corresponds to "minimum essential coverage" under 26 U.S.C. §5000A(f). The "minimum essential" qualifier is embedded in the structural reading: su-zo-ko names the protective structure; what counts as a qualifying su-zo-ko is specified by §5000A(f) categories. Productive: su-zo-ko-fe = coverage boundary; no-su-zo-ko = absence of coverage (the trigger condition for wi-fe'de, W203).

su (primitive), zo (primitive), ko (primitive), wi-fe'de (W203 penalty — triggered by absence of su-zo-ko), wi-fe (W100 rule — mandate is a wi-fe over su-zo-ko), zo-li (W148 person — the su-zo-ko protects zo-li)
