Capital roles are not interchangeable

The reference design separates the financial roles that fund credit and absorb losses.

Why separation matters

Combining these balances would make priority and loss treatment ambiguous. The design instead records each class independently, defines its eligibility for a given loss path, and prevents one class from being represented as another. Provider capital is not a guarantee against loss. The design describes accounting priority and risk allocation, not a promise of principal protection or return.
