About Cats, Boxes and Enterprise Management Decisions
Paper 2 drew a line through the missing information an organization holds about itself: some facts are merely buried and can be recovered with effort; others were never decided, and can only be declared into being. That line is real — but it hides a third case between its two halves, and telling all three apart is what decides whether effort will ever pay.
A cat makes the distinction visible. Keep the physics at arm’s length while we borrow it — the caution near the end is not decoration — but as a picture, it is exact.

Classifying what is missing can prevent a repository project from repeatedly asking for facts that no authority has yet established.

analogy only
Information that was never institutionally established differs from information that existed but cannot be recovered from the available record.
← ACC — Cierre local de preguntas a partir de indeterminación abierta; metacognición acotada y solidaridad elegida
analogy only
A locally supported answer from qualified evidence does not constitute an undeclared institutional fact or grant authority to act on it.

documented use
Part II develops the distinction further: retrieving state-preserving records cannot by itself constitute an institutional fact that still requires an authorized declaration.
