# Causal internal mesh

Status: audited critical surface  
Layer: CCL: Causal Context Layer  
Last reviewed: 2026-07-07

The causal internal mesh is the internal-linking projection of CCL. It does not merely declare that two pages are related. It declares the role of each relation in the need chain:

```text
triggering situation → problem or risk → latent need → canonical surface → intended consequence → forbidden derivation
```

## Rule

A causal mesh link is not a generic related-content link. It must preserve its relation type: trigger page, latent need definition, governing doctrine, consequence framework, anti-fusion clarification, service bridge, proof surface or evidence artifact.

## Non-implication

The mesh does not create offers, pricing, deliverables, ranking guarantees, AI citation guarantees, recommendation guarantees, conversion promises or third-party model adoption guarantees.

Règle : la proximité sémantique est un signal de comparaison. Elle ne prouve ni causalité, ni pont de service, ni résultat.
