Neurosurgery — Atlas
This specialty validates a distinct constitutional property of accountability (Volume II). Its canonical case, obligation architecture, and constitutional relationships are transcribed from the ratified specialty corpus.

Permanent Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Without Demonstrable Longitudinal Surveillance and Malfunction Accountability
Constitutional first cause
The Engine begins when:
A permanent cerebrospinal fluid diversion device is implanted.
Not with malfunction.
Not with hydrocephalus recurrence.
The obligation begins at implantation.

Obligation architecture
The ratified corpus records this specialty’s canonical case but does not enumerate a step-by-step obligation architecture. The obligation chain will be rendered here when it is frozen in the corpus — no chain is fabricated (Constitution Article IV §15).
Constitutional observations
What The Engine makes visible
Today, systems can prove:
surgery successful;
discharge complete;
follow-up scheduled.
Few can demonstrate:
who owns lifelong surveillance;
whether symptom education actually transferred;
whether transitions preserved accountability;
whether malfunction obligations remained attributable.
No worked demonstration is provisioned for this specialty in this build. Occupational Medicine (Specialty 25) is the first domain and carries the worked demonstration; the constitutional architecture above is shared across specialties.
