1. Canon Definition

Discernment is the principle of distinguishing signal from mimicry, coherence from pseudo-coherence, and guidance from capture.

Discernment is the applied intelligence of gates.

2. UTS Function

Discernment:

• prevents signal poisoning
• detects inversion
• protects choice
• routes uncertain signals through IDS

3. Operator Signature

Discernment := Ψ → Μ → FI/HR/Au → Γ

4. Coherence Contribution

Discernment increases coherence by preventing misclassification from entering control loops.

5. Inversion

Discernment✕ appears as:

• suspicion without evidence
• paranoia
• over-filtering
• cynicism
• refusal of signal

6. Restoration Cue

Discernment restores through audit, humility, and provisional classification.

Entry Closure

Discernment is the principle of distinguishing signal from mimicry, coherence from pseudo-coherence, and guidance from capture.
