# X-029 · Composition exclusion vs suppression as speech-act analysis

Three distinct acts, only one directly observable. **Omission**: not composed because not retrieved — inferable from retrieval data. **Exclusion**: retrieved but not composed — directly observable. **Suppression**: excluded because of a targeted intervention — a hypothesis requiring the full agent/target/mechanism/effect tuple. A system may exclude without intending to suppress, e.g. below a confidence threshold.
