instrument
What the claim is
instrumentTypes`: loans, bonds, equity, guarantees and their defining terms · `identification`: external identifier schemes for instruments and parties
This meta-model describes claims and obligations expressed as instruments: loans, bonds, equity and similar contracts, their issuance into existence, the holdings and obligations they create between parties, the schedules that service them, the collateral that secures them, and the corporate actions that modify them. It is the credit side of finance, deliberately separated from money (F2): money is the instrument that settles, while this model carries the claims being settled. It is its own model because instruments have lifecycles (issuance, servicing, transfer, default, maturity) and inherently bilateral position semantics.

How instruments live
issuance`: creation of instruments and their initial allocation · `servicingAndActions`: interest, repayment, corporate actions and maturity
Who holds and who owes

Catalogue-native findings must describe the information grouped by each layer. This legacy version does not declare them separately.
Questions, artifact requirements and serial naming rules are required by Vercy vNext; they remain unassigned in this reference version.
Format-independent core. Concrete artifact formats and naming prefixes are not declared in this legacy version.
CRUD procedures and interface bindings are not declared in this legacy version.
Stewardship is bilateral: the issuer stewards the instrument and obligation records, the holder stewards its holdings, and each sees the shared position only through the bilateral contract. Access follows the catalogue's S1/S2 ownership and access models, anchored to the underlying R2 agreement, with position access audited via S4.
