Abstract
This article argues that commercial law is not merely a collection of rules, but a doctrinally coherent and conceptually sophisticated body of law structured through conceptions of property. The analysis focuses specifically on the aspects of commercial law that govern recovery of debt. The argument advances two related themes; that commercial law is built around conceptions of property and reciprocally defines the conceptions of property around which it is built. The article first addresses the role of property as the structural framework of commercial law. Property creates the basis for assertion of rights and provides the conceptual interface between the legal regimes of secured financing, judgment enforcement, and bankruptcy. Further, property is the basis on which commercial law rights and interests are reconciled with rights and interests that fall outside its boundaries. The article then explores the means by which commercial law resolves practical problems through the creative definition of property. The article concludes with thoughts on the importance of understanding the central role of property in the structure and function of commercial law.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
