Terminal Grade Decomposition
Abstract
A stabilized guarded ledger partitions its semantic statements into migrated, wall, and resident parts.

Commentary.
Let a countable statement ledger take values in a finite partially ordered grade space, and assume each statement changes grade only finitely often after enrollment. The pointwise ledger-limit theorem supplies a unique terminal grading and a stabilization cutoff for every statement.
Let Sem be the semantic domain, W a wall contained in Sem, T its gatekeepers, and Gplus the positive grades. Assume every gatekeeper remains positive, joint positivity of a wall statement and all gatekeepers is forbidden, and forbidden wall configurations never occur. The guarded-wall theorem makes every wall statement non-positive at every time. Evaluating at its terminal cutoff therefore keeps W disjoint from the terminal-positive migrated part M.
Define M as the semantic statements whose terminal grade lies in Gplus, and define R as Sem with M and W removed. Elementary set extensionality gives Sem = M union W union R. Guarded-wall non-positivity proves M and W are disjoint, while the defining set difference proves that R is disjoint from each. The Boolean witness in the Lean module checks that all assumptions can hold simultaneously.
