Self-contained passage
A self-contained passage is a text block that preserves enough information to be extracted, cited or summarized without forcing a reader or system to reconstruct missing context.
It should identify the entity, claim, scope, condition, time sensitivity where relevant, and limit. Self-contained passages reduce free inference; they do not replace source hierarchy or proof.
