1. Purpose

The Empathy Interface models another node’s internal state-space through truth-constrained, bounded, non-extractive simulation.

2. Core Question

What is being experienced or constrained, and how can action account for it without boundary collapse?

3. Construct Class

Type: Interface / Simulation System

Source status: Canon-Ready

Primary module: CMS / Principles / Restoration / Archetypes
