## Canonical definition
An external submission is the formal transmission of The AI Constitution and related instruments to an external institution through an official channel, recorded as a docket in the Public Record and mirrored, while active, in the Submission Status tracker.

## Why this node exists
Submissions are where the framework meets the world, and where the difference between transmission and acceptance matters most. The record documents the act; the receiving institution decides everything else.

## Operational meaning
A submission package comprises the Constitution, the Board Statute and the supplements set. Fingerprints and OpenTimestamps receipts for the cover letter and the transmitted instruments are held in the internal Evidence Ledger; public release metadata and fingerprints are docketed. Status uses a controlled vocabulary from "In preparation" to "Closed". Any acknowledgement updates the tracker entry; the docket itself stays unchanged.

## What this does not mean
A submission does not imply reception in substance, endorsement, adoption or approval. It does not create standing within the receiving institution.
