An output class is anything produced by a system class.

It can be a tool, a technology, an institution, a market, a model, a culture, a law, an algorithm, a language, a scientific theory, or a civilisation-scale structure.

But it is not the engine that made it possible.

A system class is the generating layer: the domain of conditions, constraints, and complexity that makes outputs possible at all.

An output class is a derived layer: a product, expression, or construction that exists inside the parent system and remains dependent on it.

Outputs can scale. Outputs can dominate. Outputs can outperform individual instances of the parent system in narrow domains.

But outputs do not outrank the system class that generates them.

They do not exceed the complexity of the engine they depend on.

They do not escape the constraints of the realm that produced them.

Boundary line:

An output can surpass individuals.
It cannot surpass its system class.
