========================================================================
P1788,

I submit the updated position paper "Trits to Tetrits" as a formal motion.
In particular, I move that P1788 shall:

    -- adopt the general Level 1 and Level 2 definitions of a tetrit --
along with the propagation rules for tetrits in the P1788 exception handling
mechanism -- as outlined in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, respectively.

    -- adopt the specific Level 1 and Level 2 defintions of a "domain"
tetrit as outlined in Sections 2.1.1 and 2.2.1, respectively, and require
that all P1788 decorations must include such a "domain" tetrit.

Please note, this motion specifically is NOT meant to take a position on:

    -- a decision to include or exclude any decoration attribute other than
the required (by this motion) "domain" attribute

    -- a decision to allow or prevent any other decoration attribute to be
defined in terms of something other than a tetrit

The sole purpose of the present motion is to nail down Level 1 and Level 2
definitions of a tetrit and to require these semantics are applied to a
"domain" attribute that shall be part of the standard for all decorations.

Sincerely,

Nate
