+# plates/_decode/mx-entity-series.yml — Mexico's ENTIDAD FEDERATIVA serial
+# ranges: the table that turns a Mexican private plate into a state.
+#
+# WHAT THIS IS, AND WHY IT IS NOT A PREFIX TABLE. Mexico does not encode its
+# states the way Germany encodes its districts. There is no district letter and
+# no province suffix: the 32 entidades federativas issue out of ONE national
+# serial space, and the state is recoverable only by asking WHICH RANGE the
+# serial falls in. Those ranges are enacted, closed and primary — Apéndice "C"
+# Normativo of NOM-001-SCT-2-2016 ("ESTABLECE LA ASIGNACIÓN DE SERIES POR
+# ENTIDAD FEDERATIVA, LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Y LA SECRETARÍA, POR TIPO DE SERVICIO
+# Y VEHÍCULO, MATRICULADOS EN LA REPÚBLICA MEXICANA"), read off the Diario
+# Oficial de la Federación text of 24 June 2016. Every row below is that
+# appendix.
+#
+# THE DECODE IS A RANGE COMPARISON, NOT A LOOKUP. `AAA-001-A` to `AFZ-999-Z`
+# is Aguascalientes; `AGA-001-A` to `CYZ-999-Z` is Baja California. A consumer
+# decodes by comparing the LETTER GROUP against the interval endpoints in the
+# NOM's own collating order — and that order is NOT plain A-Z, because the same
+# appendix forbids four letters outright:
+#
+#   "NOTA: EN LOS CARACTERES ALFABÉTICOS NO DEBERÁN UTILIZARSE LAS LETRAS
+#    I, Ñ, O, Q."
+#
+# so the alphabet actually walked is A B C D E F G H J K L M N P R S T U V W X
+# Y Z (23 letters). `alphabet:` below is that sequence, machine-readable, and a
+# decoder that compares with a 26-letter alphabet will mis-assign every range
+# that straddles a forbidden letter.
+#
+# FOUR CAUTIONS, all of them load-bearing:
+#
+# 1. RANGES ARE ALLOCATIONS, NOT OCCUPANCY. The NOM allocates Baja California
+#    32,765,202 private-car combinations. Nobody has issued them. A range hit
+#    says "if this plate exists, it was issued by that state", never "this
+#    plate exists".
+# 2. THE RANGES ARE PER SERVICE TYPE AND PER VEHICLE TYPE. The private-car
+#    table and the private-truck table are different serial spaces in different
+#    formats (AAA-000-A vs AA-0000-A); the border (fronterizo) tables are a
+#    third; the public-local tables a fourth. They are kept apart here for the
+#    same reason plates/_decode/it-provinces.yml keeps its two tables apart.
+# 3. THE 2016 ALLOCATION REPLACED THE 2000 ONE. The Acuerdo of 25 September
+#    2000 (DOF) carried its own per-entity assignment for the AAA-00-00 era;
+#    those ranges are NOT these ranges, and this file does not carry them.
+#    A pre-2016 Mexican plate does not decode through this table.
+# 4. CIUDAD DE MÉXICO IS NOT IN THE STATE TABLE. It gets its own format
+#    (A00-AAA for private cars) and its own single range, listed separately
+#    below — which is why a CDMX plate can never collide with a state plate.

+  DOF on 24 June 2016 and in force sixty calendar days later (numeral 13:
+  "la presente Norma Oficial Mexicana entrará en vigor sesenta días naturales
+  contados a partir de la fecha de su publicación en el Diario Oficial de la
+  Federación") — 23 August 2016. The NOM's own recital says WHY it was needed:
+  the series assigned by the 2000 Acuerdo "se han agotado para algunos tipos de
+  servicio en diversas Entidades Federativas, la Ciudad de México y el
+  Autotransporte Federal, se hace necesario realizar una nueva asignación y
+  distribución de series, que evite la duplicidad de las mismas".

+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+verification:
+  method: >-
+    The whole of Apéndice C was re-extracted independently from a SECOND
+    federal copy of the instrument — the Secretaría de Economía NOM repository
+    PDF at http://www.economia-noms.gob.mx/normas/noms/2010/001sct22016.pdf,
+    86 pages, text-extracted with `pdftotext -layout` and parsed by script —
+    and the resulting rows were compared against sections 1 to 4 of this file
+    row by row.
+  result: >-
+    AGREEMENT on every private-car range, every Ciudad de México range, and
+    every border range checked. Two independent transcriptions of a scanned
+    federal instrument agreeing is the strongest evidence available short of
+    the DOF facsimile itself.
+  anomalies_found:
+    - >-
+      MORELOS private-TRUCK row (section 1): the instrument prints
+      "UN-0001-A - NZ-9999-Z", whose end sorts BEFORE its start in the NOM's
+      own 23-letter alphabet. Both transcriptions read it identically, so the
+      defect is in the instrument or in its DOF type-setting, not in the
+      extraction. It is recorded, not repaired. A verifier with the DOF
+      facsimile should settle it; until then no consumer should range-decode a
+      Mexican private truck through that row.
+    - >-
+      PRINTED ORDER IS NOT MONOTONIC IN `from`. Apéndice C prints entities in
+      SPANISH alphabetical order, in which CH sorts as its own letter, so
+      Chiapas and Chihuahua precede Coahuila; and the Estado de México and
+      Michoacán blocks (LGA.. and PFA..) sit between Jalisco and Morelos in
+      letter space while being printed at their alphabetical positions. A
+      consumer MUST sort by `from` and must not assume row order. Sorted, the
+      blocks are contiguous and non-overlapping — which is the first check a
+      verifier should run.
+  not_transcribed: >-
+    Apéndice C also carries per-entity allocations for autobuses, remolques,
+    convertidores, motocicletas (three grammars), demostración, ecológicos,
+    ambulancias, bomberos, protección civil and escoltas. They are sourced at
+    exactly the same quality and are omitted for scope (PRD-PLATES §2.5).
+    Extending this file needs no new sourcing, only transcription.
