Twelve terms you’ll use every day — in plain words and plain ASCII
Value
The raw number or state. It stays untouched.
Classical magnitude m remains readable even if alignment is present.
phi((m,a)) = m # collapse parity guarantee
Alignment / Align / a_out
The bounded dial in (-1,+1) describing how calm vs stressed the situation is.
Portable stability signal for pooling, ranking, and trend reading.
Clamp
Safety guard that prevents illegal or explosive inputs.
a_c := clamp(a_raw, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)
Rapidity (u)
The transformed value that makes partial signals addable without distortion.
u := atanh(a_c)
Fuse / Accumulators (U, W)
Fair memory across time, streams, and shards.
U += w * u
W += w
Reconstruct (a_out)
Return to a human dial that is always inside (-1,+1).
a_out := tanh( U / max(W, eps_w) )
Band
Human-facing label for action stance (e.g., "A++", "A0", "CRITICAL").
Cutpoints and action windows are declared in the manifest.
Escalation Promise
The human obligation tied to a band (time-boxed response).
Example:
"CRITICAL" => respond in <= 10 min
Manifest
The frozen rulebook for meaning.
Declares the lens/baseline, math knobs, band cutpoints, and escalation promises.
Manifest ID
Short pointer to the exact rulebook active at that moment.
Changing policy requires a new:
manifest_id := "<new-id>"
Stamp
One-line time-and-chain proof (when, what, and sequence).
SSMCLOCK1|<utc>|theta=<deg>|sha256=<hex>|prev=<hash-or-NONE>
Collapse Parity
The promise that classical data paths still work.
Even with alignment, stripping the lane yields the exact original number.
phi((m,a)) = m
