! Pragma

Pragma is an action flavor, not a separate parser type. The sigil is ! — the same commit mark as other actions. It names a constraint the surface should obey, not a new prefix.

^"pragma_contract"{

Contract

Interaction

Apply or inspect a runtime force or constraint. A pragma should never silently mutate unrelated surfaces.

Metaphysics

Pragma is force injection: constraint entering the system as a named condition.

Brace Physics

A pragma brace carries high charge. It needs visible boundaries, decay rules, and an inspectable reason for its force.

Symmetry

Prefix !x applies force before contact. Postfix x! marks a discharged force or constraint after contact.
