The coherence floor
Reference / Measurement standards
Precision begins
with definitions.
A measurement instrument needs fixed terms, reproducible outputs, and declared boundaries. It also needs to say what has not been empirically established.

The coherence verdict
A deterministic result.
A bounded claim.
The engine computes Γ from energy commitment, vector alignment, attention, temporal debt, and regularisation. It measures a cycle against declared observables, never a human being.

Γ = E · V · Aτ + λreg

Stipulated design parameters
Defined thresholds. Consistent classification.
SEED, BLOOM and ROOT use the protocol’s stipulated design parameters. Their physical analogies provide context; empirical evaluation follows the published research programme.

Runtime constraints
Three invariants.
01 / INVARIANT
ctu stays with its record.
The Causal Time Unit is non-transferable and non-tokenisable. It is a measurement output, not a tradable asset.
Δ1 · L527 to 53602 / INVARIANT
Humans retain the signature.
w_AI = 0. An instrument has no independent signing authority; a Human Agency remains the root of intention.

A seal cannot be rewritten.
The One-Way Seal makes a validated cycle’s recorded verdict irreversible.
