Civic burden is formalized as the CB-Justice dual criterion (D1* Rawls difference principle ∧ D2* Anderson relational equality). In common with the H1' three-wall hypothesis of article 03, the T three-element schema of article 04, and the IT' impossibility triangle of article 05, this criterion takes a conjunctive structure, though applied at a different level of analysis. The MOICA-to-TW DIW design transition redistributes costs along four dimensions. Without supplementary conditions, an estimated 3.2–4.8 million persons in Taiwan are substantively excluded (13.7–20.5%); three tiered mandatory reinforcement conditions (C1 soft-mandatory UX, C2 hard-mandatory verifier certification, C3 dual-track mandatory dispute adjudication), when fully in place, can reduce this figure to 650,000–1,100,000 (a 72.5–83.8% reduction). Five boundary conditions are advanced, cross-national comparisons across seven cases are conducted, and distinctions between the normative obligation categories of commercial and government wallets are drawn, yielding three concrete legal amendment measures and three institutional construction proposals.
