Institutional Ontology (Pre-Analytical Layer)

Institutional ontology concerns what exists before doctrine, data, or method are applied.

It specifies the structural elements that make institutional action intelligible as a legal, fiscal, or administrative phenomenon, prior to interpretation or measurement. 

Institutional tension in Fiscal Geometry is a structural property of normative space;

its visibility is grounded in ontology, its computability is conditioned by data stability, but its existence is independent of measurement. 

This page defines the pre-analytical layer and routes readers to its formal instantiations.
