Gradientary Drift — Conditions Substrate Model#

TriadicFrameworks Canon (2026.07)

This dictionary defines the canonical drift operators used across the Conditions Substrate Model.
Drift is the motion field — the force that pulls substrates away from stability and toward cascades, thresholds, and regime transitions.
