Single-mode creative content within a single medium — an audio recording, a photograph, a written text, a film, a sculpture, a software application as a self-contained whole. Each medium has its own established rights regime, mature legal infrastructure, and well-understood category structure. A musician's song is media. A photographer's image is media. An author's chapter is media. Rights subsist in each as a discrete work, and the rights bundle is generally well-mapped to the medium type. In the CIP framework, content classified as `Single-Media` (per `CIP-Media-Class`, Enum 5 of CIP Classifications v1.0) is the default category. The framework's standard tools — `cip.md` declarations, CDRs, and the seven existing role-specific visual models — were designed primarily with single-media content in mind. The framework defaults to this classification when no other classification is asserted; the burden is on rights holders who hold multimedia or multimodal-media content to assert the higher-complexity classification explicitly.
