Parent arc · SA#24

The divine subject must be NAMED, not IMPLIED.

A worship chorus must announce its divine subject within the first chorus. The Ambiguous Pronoun Ratio primitive operationalizes Vince Wright's Berean Test — choruses heavy on "He/You/Him" without anchoring proper noun (God / Jesus / Spirit / Lord / Father / Christ / Holy) fail. 5 substyles span modern hymn → liturgical traditional, each with a distinct tradition-policy layer.

The load-bearing primitive is APR — applied to every worship lyric the forge produces, including Liturgical Traditional.
