6.1 Clause-Linked Funding Disbursement and Payment Triggers
6.1.1 Legally Mandated Clause-Linked Funding Architecture Under the Nexus Fellowship Charter, NWG Fellows must architect and oversee funding disbursement mechanisms that are strictly governed by sovereign clause triggers and scenario milestone verifications. (a) This binding requirement aligns with Sendai-aligned national fiscal prudence, corridor constitutional finance transparency, and UNCITRAL fallback standards for international treaty accountability. (b) Any deviation or manipulation activates immediate scenario quarantine, corridor insurance restitution, and NSF Tribunal adjudication with sovereign enforceability.
6.1.2 Clause Passport Integration and RDF Provenance Each payment event must be cryptographically tethered to its parent clause passport.

6.9.9 Scenario Lifecycle Extension and Sustainability Planning Rollover funds can be legally allocated to extend the lifecycle of high-impact scenarios approaching sunset if: (i) The scenario’s impact KPIs justify continuation; (ii) Equity Stewards validate that extension aligns with corridor fairness benchmarks; (iii) DAO quorum approves the rollover use. (a) Lifecycle extensions must be fully documented in clause passports and scenario dashboards.
6.9.10 Sovereign Enforcement and Treaty Alignment This clause certifies that residual budget rollovers for long-term fellowship sustainment are sovereign-grade corridor fiscal instruments, enforceable for the Nexus Fellowship Charter’s duration (2025–2035) and any successor treaties. (a) Breach or concealment activates fallback DAG quarantine, corridor insurance restitution, DAO treasury freeze, and binding NSF Tribunal arbitration under corridor constitutional law and UNCITRAL fallback governance frameworks.
