# Intent & Directionality Normalization

> Normalize the task into a requested outcome, actions, and entities, and resolve the change relation — introduce, retain, remove, analyze, or mention — that later stages key their semantic policy on; an unresolved direction is recorded as ambiguity, never silently assumed.
