1. Core Definition
Veil is a boundary and threshold symbols symbol used in UTS for Hiddenness, partial disclosure, liminality.
2. UTS Function
In UTS, Veil functions as a symbolic compression object: it helps route meaning through attention, memory, boundary, identity, action, or restoration depending on context.
3. Coherent Use
Veil is coherent when its symbolic meaning remains auditable, scope-bound, and connected to real system behavior rather than performance alone.
4. Inversion Risk
Veil becomes incoherent when the symbol replaces the meaning it was meant to carry, hides unresolved debt, creates false authority, or binds identity without repair capacity.
5. Restoration Use
Veil can support restoration when it marks memory, boundary, closure, recommitment, or transition while remaining connected to material repair.
6. Canon Anchor
A symbol is coherent when its compressed meaning preserves boundary, auditability, compatibility, restoration, and identity integrity across time.
