## SCP-6: statute-declared stand-ins and destination transforms (`--` for `=`, `__` for `!`)
## SCP-6: statute-enabled stand-ins and destination transforms (`--` for `=`, `---` for `!`)

- Similar endpoint behaviours are covered in the same mechanism: a stand-in
for `!`, plus case, facet, interaction, quoting, dot and length handling
(founder confirmed, 2026-10-18).
- Stand-ins use **dashes only**: `--` for `=` and `---` for `!`. No other
stand-in characters are added. `+` is considered functional by default
and has no stand-in (founder, 2026-10-18).
**Proposal, receiving side (normative):** a statute MAY declare stand-ins
for MAS operators:
**Proposal, receiving side (normative):** the spec defines two fixed
stand-ins. A statute MAY enable each one:
```json
"alternate_syntax": { "resource": "--", "interaction": "__" }
"alternate_syntax": { "resource": true, "interaction": true }
```
- **Resource stand-in (`--` for `=`).** A target `TYPE--ID`, where `TYPE` is
a resource type declared in the same statute, is equivalent to
`TYPE=ID`. The policy resolver reports `target_syntax:
The stand-ins are fixed by the spec, not configurable, so every generator
and receiver uses the same forms.
- **Resource stand-in `--` for `=`.** In a target `TYPE--ID`, where `TYPE`
is a resource type declared in the same statute, the form is equivalent
to `TYPE=ID`. The policy resolver reports `target_syntax:
"resource-alternate"` and the canonical equivalence key `TYPE=ID`.
- **Interaction stand-in (`__` for `!`).** A local-part ending in
`__MODE`, where `MODE` is an interaction mode the statute enables, is
equivalent to `!MODE`: `ticket__callback` ≡ `ticket!callback`. The split
is at the **last** `__`, and only if the suffix is an enabled mode.
Anything else (`foo__bar` with no enabled mode `bar`) stays plain data.
- **No stand-in for `+`.** Every endpoint tested accepted `+`, and facets
already degrade safely when stripped (§12). Generators use the
`drop-facet` transform instead.
- **Split rule for types:** together with SCP-2, resource-type names are
lower-case letters and digits with single `-` or `_` separators. They
never contain `--` or `__`. The first `--` after the type always ends
it: `ticket--RE--2026` is type `ticket`, ID `RE--2026`. IDs may contain
`--`.
- Each stand-in applies only if the statute declares it, and the resource
stand-in only for a declared type. Otherwise `--` and `__` have no
meaning (§6.1 still applies).
- Receivers store, correlate and reply using the canonical form only.
- Stand-ins must be dot-atom-safe, must not contain `.`, `=`, `+` or `!`,
and must differ from each other. A namespace with existing opaque names
that match a stand-in pattern must not declare it.
- **Interaction stand-in `---` for `!`.** A local-part ending in
`---MODE`, where `MODE` is an interaction mode the statute enables, is
equivalent to `!MODE`: `ticket---callback` ≡ `ticket!callback`.
- **Matching order (normative):**
1. **Interaction first.** If the local-part ends in `---MODE` with an
enabled `MODE`, that suffix (at the last such `---`) is the
interaction.
2. **Resource next.** In the remainder, `TYPE--ID` with a declared type
is a resource. The split is at the first `--`.
Examples:
- `ticket---callback` ≡ `ticket!callback`
- `ticket--GS1---callback` ≡ `ticket=GS1!callback`
- `ticket--A---B` ≡ `ticket=A---B` if `B` is not an enabled mode
- **Constraints:**
- Resource-type names (lower-case after SCP-2) never contain `--`.
- Interaction mode names do not start with `-`.
- A namespace that enables the interaction stand-in MUST NOT issue
resource IDs containing `---`.
- A namespace with existing opaque names matching either pattern must
not enable that stand-in.
- **No stand-in for `+`.** `+` is functional by default: every endpoint
tested accepted it, and facets degrade safely when stripped (§12).
- Without the statute switch, or for an undeclared type or mode, `--` and
`---` have no meaning (§6.1 still applies). Receivers store, correlate
and reply using the canonical form only.
**Proposal, sending side (normative mechanism, informative integrations):**
generators produce addresses for a *destination*, such as a forwarding

- 2026-10-18: revised by the founder. Stand-ins use dashes only: `---`
replaces `__` for `!`, and no other stand-in characters are added. `+` is
functional by default with no stand-in. The stand-ins are now fixed by
the spec; the statute only enables them
(`alternate_syntax: {resource: true, interaction: true}`). Matching
order: interaction (`---MODE` at the end, enabled mode) first, then
resource (`TYPE--ID`). IDs must not contain `---` when the interaction
