This layer explains the functions visible in the records: access, logistics, money, reputation repair, legal pressure, silence, media leverage, institutional proximity, uncertainty control, and the EFTA01104262 capital-class wealth map.",
  "boundary": "This matrix exposes network function, not automatic criminal guilt.

Criminal attribution requires conviction, plea, court finding, authenticated exhibit, admission, or clearly supported legal record.",
