Scope shifts from the whole competitive category to the buyer domain: the specific queries an organization's actual buyers use. The theorem claims that Accurate Specific Representation is achievable by any organization, regardless of scale, through correctly structured, freely available machine-readable data, and that success means hedging-free citation rather than mere mention. Its primary adversarial threat is conflation engineering.

Abstract and Evidence Status

Abstract (verbatim from the Zenodo record)

This paper states Theorem 2 of The Ontological Dominance Papers, Accurate Specific Representation, a peer theorem to OD-1 sharing its mathematical foundation as presented in OD-S but governing a different competitive scope: the buyer domain, defined as the specific query distribution an entity's actual buyers use, rather than the full competitive category. The theorem's central claim is that Accurate Specific Representation is achievable for any organization, regardless of scale, through correctly structured, freely available machine-readable data, and that success is defined by hedging-free citation across the buyer domain rather than by mere mention. The theorem identifies conflation engineering as its primary adversarial threat, distinct from the vocabulary-displacement threat governing OD-1. As a peer theorem to OD-1, Theorem 2 shares OD-1's theoretical confirmation status; empirical field confirmation is pending execution of the corresponding falsification test.

Evidence status

A peer theorem to OD-1 that shares its theoretical confirmation status. Empirical field confirmation is pending execution of the corresponding falsification test.
