µᵢ — Agent / Meaning Integrity is the degree to which a system maintains temporal consistency between its model, identity, claims, actions, consequences, and meaning.

Primary Function

Tracks continuity between model, action, consequence, identity, and meaning across time

Au — Auditability is the degree to which a system’s internal state, causal pathways, decision processes, feedback loops, boundary conditions, and consequences can be inspected, traced, reviewed, and corrected.

Primary Function

Tracks inspectability, traceability, causal visibility, and reviewability of system state and action

BΣ — Boundary Integrity is the degree to which a system preserves clear identity, consent, role distinction, interface structure, and non-negotiable invariants under stress, coupling, repair, and transformation.

Primary Function

Tracks preservation of identity, consent, role clarity, interface integrity, and invariant protection

O — Coherence is the degree to which a system’s parts remain phase-aligned, mutually reinforcing, and structurally compatible under stress.

Primary Function

Tracks real system alignment under stress

Extension

K — Compatibility is the degree to which two or more systems can couple, coordinate, exchange, compose, or interact in a way that increases mutual coherence without eroding identity, exporting hidden debt, overwhelming repair capacity, or violating boundaries.

Primary Function

Tracks whether coupling between systems produces mutual coherence increase

ε — Error / Noise is observable deviation from expected, intended, coherent, or stable system behavior.

Primary Function

Tracks observable deviation, signal disruption, noise, mismatch, and exposed system instability

Φ — Fitness Proxy is the measured success signal a system uses for optimization, selection, comparison, reinforcement, reward, legitimacy, or adaptation.

Primary Function

Tracks the measured success signal used for optimization, selection, comparison, and reinforcement

Canon Tier

Extension

H — Hidden Debt is latent misalignment, deferred cost, suppressed contradiction, unprocessed damage, or unobserved incoherence stored inside a system.

Primary Function

Tracks latent unresolved incoherence, deferred cost, and unprocessed system burden

Extension

ι — Inversion Index is the degree to which a system displays apparent order, apparent success, apparent coherence, or apparent legitimacy without real harmonic fit.

Primary Function

Tracks apparent order without harmonic fit; detects pseudo-coherence risk

Canon Tier

Extension

R — Restoration Capacity is the degree to which a system can repair, correct, realign, metabolize hidden debt, restore boundaries, recover from disturbance, and preserve repair across recurrence.

Primary Function

Tracks the system’s capacity to repair, correct, metabolize hidden debt, restore coherence, and preserve learning over time
