What "Descriptive" Does Not Authorize

The term “descriptive” appears across GIFU as a stabilizing designation while carrying several exclusions without explicit separation. In that compressed use, one word is made to perform multiple boundary functions at once. This paper distinguishes the non-authorizations carried by “descriptive” across different adjacent domains. Descriptive use does not authorize explanatory extension, symbolic overlay, therapeutic application, evidentiary claim, or authority formation. This clarification prevents “descriptive” from functioning as semantic filler or as a singleword presumed to secure every boundary at once.
