Recommendation
A Recommendation expresses a derived suggested action.
Specification-sourced: quoted from the governing specification, pending the applicable specification-owner approvals. The specification controls.
In plain words
An intelligence system may recommend that a mill reserve throughput for a regional grain arrangement, but the recommendation binds no one. Keeping Recommendation derived lets increasingly capable reasoning take part without silently acquiring authority.
What it is not
Recommendation ≠ Formation
A Recommendation is a derived suggestion with no authority to establish a Formation; Formation creation remains a governed canonical transition. Configuration Is Not Formation · Canonical Model & Protocol (source: 04 §12.2)
Recommendation ≠ Commitment
A Recommendation is machine reasoning about what might be done; a Commitment is the authoritative act through which a participant takes responsibility. Commitment Creates a Different State · Concept Paper (source: 01 §6.5)
