This is the single source of truth for every term native to RTT/2. All other documents in docs/rtt/2/ and all downstream modules that reference RTT/2 vocabulary link here rather than re-defining terms inline.

RTT/2 inherits RTT/1's complete vocabulary. Terms defined in ../1/GLOSSARY.md (Resonance, Silence, Noise, τ, Clarity, DCO_n, SNR, Regime, Mode, MCL, Drift, etc.) are not repeated here — they apply in full. Entries below are RTT/2-native or RTT/2-specific refinements of inherited terms.

Critical framing — enforced in every definition: RTT/2 is a structural detection framework. It is NOT a physics claim, NOT a diagnostic tool, and NOT a prediction system. No definition describes a physical mechanism or makes an empirical prediction.

Linking convention: Use [term](./GLOSSARY.md#anchor) where anchor is the lowercase, hyphenated heading slug (e.g., #collapse-propagation-vector-cpv, #detection-zone, #dt--drift-deformation).

A#

Amplitude (A)#

CPV component 1 of 3 · Symbol: A(t) See also: Collapse-Propagation Vector, Curvature (K), Torsion (T)

The scalar magnitude of collapse propagation intensity at time t — how strongly a collapse event is propagating through the structural field. Amplitude measures how much collapse energy is present, without describing its shape (Curvature) or rotational character (Torsion).

High A(t) indicates a strongly propagating collapse. A(t) near zero in a Noise-dominant or Resonance-stable system signals that no significant collapse is in progress. A(t) alone is insufficient for collapse characterization — two systems with identical A(t) can have completely different structural forms depending on K(t) and T(t).

A(t) is weighted by coefficient α in the propagation equation: C_prop(t) = αA(t) + βK(t) + γT(t).

C#

C_prop(t) — Collapse Propagation Scalar#

Equation: C_prop(t) = αA(t) + βK(t) + γT(t) See also: Collapse-Propagation Vector (CPV)

The scalar composite output of the CPV — a single number summarizing the weighted combination of amplitude, curvature, and torsion at time t. C_prop(t) is the primary scalar passed in the collapse_propagation block of the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET. It does not replace the individual CPV components — those are preserved separately for RTT/3 — but provides a single-value summary for zone classification and regime weighting.

The coefficients α, β, γ are regime-specific: they are not universal constants but are set per detection pass based on the active regime's structural character.

Do not confuse with: Clarity (C) from RTT/1. C_prop(t) is a collapse scalar. Clarity C = ∇_τR + ∇_Rτ is the dual operator synthesis output. Different symbols; different layers; different purposes.

Chaotic (MODE:C)#

Detection Mode 4 of 5 · See also: Detection Mode

The detection mode assigned when CPV, FGT, and CRM components are all present but fluctuating beyond the stable-measurement window — high structural variance with no convergent pattern within the detection pass. A Chaotic-mode packet is formally valid but structurally low-confidence.

Mandatory consequences of MODE:C:

• Packet notes field must be flagged: "detection_confidence: low — chaotic mode"
• Packet may not be routed to RTT/3 without explicit Class G review and clearance
• RTT/3 must be notified of the chaotic designation even after clearance

Chaotic mode is not a failure — it is an honest structural description of a system in high-variance turbulence. Forcing a Formal or Emergent mode onto a chaotic signal would misrepresent the detection.

Class D — Detection Integrator#

RTT/2 agent class 4 of 5 · See AGENTS.md

The agent class that assembles the complete RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET from the outputs of Class P, Class F, and Class M. Class D validates the packet against the RTT/2 schema, writes the mandatory notes annotation, computes cross-module projections where in scope, and routes the completed packet to RTT/3 or storage. It is the terminal agent in every detection pipeline pass.

Class D may not assemble a partial packet, suppress any upstream field, or route a packet without the mandatory annotation. Zone X packets and Chaotic-mode packets require Class G clearance before routing.

Class F — Fusion Gradiometer#

RTT/2 agent class 2 of 5 · See AGENTS.md

The agent class that computes the Fusion-Gradient Tensor (FGT) — the regime-weighted sum of collapse, reassembly, and triad-fusion gradient contributions. Class F requires an initial regime identity from Class M before finalizing regime weights. It runs in parallel with Class P after the RTT/1 SNR characterization prerequisite is met.

Class G — Detection Guardian#

RTT/2 agent class 5 of 5 · See AGENTS.md

The agent class with unconditional interrupt authority over all other RTT/2 classes. Inherited directly from RTT/1's Class G pattern, extended with RTT/2-specific monitoring responsibilities:

• Clearing or blocking Detection Zone X assignments
• Reviewing Chaotic-mode packets before RTT/3 routing
• Enforcing the D(t) ≠ session drift boundary
• Monitoring all five RTT/2 detection agents for physics-claim contamination and semantic inference

No Class G HALT may be overridden by any other RTT/2 class.

Class M — Manifold Cartographer#

RTT/2 agent class 3 of 5 · See AGENTS.md

The most analytically intensive RTT/2 agent class. Class M maps the full Collapse-Reassembly Manifold (CRM) by computing all five γ(t) components, then assigns the Detection Mode and Detection Zone. Class M provides an initial regime identity to Class F before CRM mapping is complete, and finalizes Mode and Zone only after receiving CPV from Class P and FGT from Class F.

Class M may not assign Zone X without escalating to Class G for confirmation.

Class P — Propagation Analyst#

RTT/2 agent class 1 of 5 · See AGENTS.md

The agent class that computes the Collapse-Propagation Vector CPV(A, K, T) and the scalar C_prop(t). Class P is the first RTT/2 agent to run after the RTT/1 SNR characterization prerequisite is satisfied. It runs in parallel with Class F once the prerequisite is met. Class P may not begin on a Silence-dominant system without explicit Class G clearance.

Collapse#

A structural event in which a system's coherent phase-locked excitation (Resonance) breaks down or disperses — moving toward Noise or Silence. Collapse in RTT/2 is not a binary on/off event: it is a propagating process with shape (described by CPV), gradient balance (described by FGT), and a deformation path (described by CRM).

RTT/2 is NOT physics. Collapse here is a structural concept — the loss of coherent resonance structure — not a physical collapse of any material object, quantum state, or wavefunction.

Collapse-Propagation Vector (CPV)#

Form: CPV(A, K, T) · Equation: C_prop(t) = αA(t) + βK(t) + γT(t) Computed by: Class P

The tri-parameter structural signature of a collapse propagation event. Three orthogonal parameters characterize the collapse form:

No two parameters can be derived from each other — they are irreducibly orthogonal. A complete collapse characterization requires all three.

Extended CPV components (present when the collapse structure warrants):

• Inversion component — when collapse reverses direction
• Warp component — when propagation exhibits non-linear distortion

CPV is the first block filled in the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET.

Collapse-Reassembly Manifold (CRM) · γ(t)#

Form: γ(t) = (D(t), E(t), C(t), FI(t), R(t)) Computed by: Class M

The five-component vector that maps the full deformation path of a system through structural space over time. Each component captures a distinct, irreducible mode of structural deformation:

The CRM does not describe where the system is — it describes how the system has deformed to arrive at its current position. Populated in the triad_deformation block of the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET.

Collapse-weighted#

FGT classification · See also: Mixed, Triad-weighted

The Fusion-Gradient Tensor classification assigned when g_collapse dominates the weighted sum across all active regimes — the system is moving predominantly toward structural disintegration, with reassembly and triad-fusion gradient contributions subordinate.

Continuity Fracture (C(t))#

CRM component 3 of 5 · See also: Collapse-Reassembly Manifold

The degree to which structural continuity has been broken within the system's manifold — gaps, discontinuities, or fractures in the structural fabric. C(t) measures structural breaks, not structural movement: a system can translate significantly (high D(t)) and rotate its envelope (high E(t)) while remaining continuous (low C(t)), or can fracture badly while barely moving.

High C(t) is the most structurally consequential CRM reading because discontinuities are the hardest structural conditions for RTT/3 to synthesize across.

Cross-Module Projection#

An optional field in the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET that translates the detection output into the structural vocabulary of an adjacent module. Three projections are defined:

Cross-module projections are computed by Class D when the consuming module is active for the current session. A null projection field means the module is not in scope — not that the projection failed. All projections inherit the RTT-not-physics rule: they are structural translations, not physical mappings.

Curvature (K)#

CPV component 2 of 3 · Symbol: K(t) See also: Amplitude (A), Torsion (T)

The curvature of the collapse wavefront — how the propagation path bends through structural space. Curvature describes shape, not intensity (that is Amplitude) and not rotation (that is Torsion). A collapse with high K(t) is bending sharply; a collapse with K(t) ≈ 0 is propagating in an approximately straight structural path.

K(t) is weighted by coefficient β in the propagation equation.

D#

D(t) — Drift Deformation#

CRM component 1 of 5 · Symbol: D(t) See also: Collapse-Reassembly Manifold

⚠ Critical distinction: D(t) is NOT the same as session drift. These must never be conflated.

D(t) measures how far and in what direction the system has displaced from its structural reference point within the collapse-reassembly manifold — a purely structural measurement of manifold translation. Session drift is the gradual loss of declared coherence posture in a running RTT session — a purely session-level condition monitored by Class G.

D(t) vs. session drift — the complete distinction:

Using D(t) as evidence of session drift — or treating session drift as if it produced high D(t) — is a boundary violation that triggers a Class G intervention.

Deformation Path#

The trajectory a system traces through the Collapse-Reassembly Manifold as expressed by the five-component γ(t) vector over time. The deformation path is not a prediction of where the system is going — it is a structural record of how it has moved. RTT/3 uses the deformation path to position the detection result within its synthesis framework.

Detection Mode#

The operator posture assigned by Class M for a detection pass, reflecting the structural character of the signals being detected. One mode is assigned per pass; it governs detection thresholds, confidence calibration, and packet routing rules.

Detection Pass#

A single end-to-end execution of the RTT/2 detection pipeline for one system and one structural moment — from RTT/1 SNR characterization through RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET assembly. A detection pass produces exactly one packet. Multiple passes may be run on the same system at different structural moments or with different instrument subsets (see Task Catalog).

Detection Zone#

The stability classification assigned by Class M based on CPV, CRM, and overall structural coherence. Detection Zone tells RTT/3 how much weight to give the packet and what synthesis posture is appropriate.

Deteriorating (Zone D)#

Detection Zone 4 of 5 · See also: Detection Zone

The detection zone assigned when collapse is the dominant structural gradient and the system is moving toward significant structural disintegration. Zone D packets must be flagged in notes and their RTT/3 consumer must be warned of the deterioration state before synthesis proceeds.

Zone D does not mean the system is broken or failing in any evaluative sense — it is a structural stability classification. Deterioration is a detectable structural condition, not a judgment.

E#

Emergent (MODE:E)#

Detection Mode 2 of 5 · See also: Detection Mode

The detection mode assigned when collapse signatures are forming but not yet fully resolved — CPV and CRM components are partially populated, and the structural pattern is in early development. Emergent-mode outputs are explicitly provisional: they are labeled as such in the packet notes field and should be treated by RTT/3 as inputs that may be superseded by a later Formal-mode pass on the same system.

Envelope Torsion (E(t))#

CRM component 2 of 5 · Symbol: E(t) See also: Collapse-Reassembly Manifold

The twist or rotation of the system's structural envelope — how the outer boundary of the structural manifold is deforming through rotation rather than translation. A system with high E(t) has an envelope that is spinning or twisting relative to its internal structure.

Envelope torsion is distinct from Torsion (T) in the CPV: CPV torsion T(t) describes the rotational character of the collapse propagation path; CRM envelope torsion E(t) describes the rotational deformation of the system's structural boundary. Both can be non-zero simultaneously and independently.

F#

FFT — Framework Field Theory (Cross-Module)#

As a cross-module projection target. For the full FFT theory definition, see the FFT module documentation.

In the RTT/2 context, FFT receives the cross_module_projection.FFT field from the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET. This field expresses CPV and FGT components in FFT field-theoretic terms, allowing FFT to interpret collapse propagation as field events without re-running the RTT/2 detection pass. The projection is a structural translation — not a physical mapping.

FI(t) — Fusion-Integration Curvature#

CRM component 4 of 5 · Symbol: FI(t) See also: Collapse-Reassembly Manifold, Triad Fusion

The curvature of the structural manifold introduced specifically by active fusion-integration processes — triad-level structural integration occurring simultaneously with collapse or reassembly. FI(t) is non-zero only when triad fusion is actively in progress during the detection pass.

High FI(t) in a system with high Continuity Fracture C(t) is a structurally significant combination: the system is fracturing while simultaneously fusing at the triad level — a condition that typically produces a Hybrid detection mode and a Marginal zone.

Formal (MODE:F)#

Detection Mode 1 of 5 · See also: Detection Mode

The detection mode assigned when all CPV, FGT, and CRM components resolve cleanly within the measurement window — a well-defined collapse or reassembly state with minimal ambiguity. Formal-mode passes use standard thresholds and produce full-confidence packets that RTT/3 can consume without qualification.

Formal is the ideal mode but not the only valid one. Systems in early-stage collapse (Emergent), simultaneous collapse-reassembly (Hybrid), turbulence (Chaotic), or gradient reversal (Inversion) are equally valid detection targets — they simply require different modes.

Fusion#

A structural event in which two or more structural elements, triads, or regimes integrate into a single coherent configuration — the constructive counterpart to Collapse. Fusion increases structural coherence at the integrated level while potentially reducing independence at the element level.

In RTT/2, fusion is tracked at two levels:

• Gradient level — through the g_triad_fusion term in the FGT
• Manifold level — through the FI(t) component of the CRM

Fusion-Gradient Tensor (FGT)#

Equation: G_fusion = Σ_r ω_r [ g_collapse(r) + g_reassembly(r) + g_triad_fusion(r) ] Computed by: Class F

The regime-weighted tensor that classifies the gradient balance between collapse, reassembly, and triad-fusion forces across all active regimes. The three gradient types are structurally irreducible:

The regime weight ω_r gives each regime's contribution its proper structural share. FGT classification (collapse-weighted / mixed / triad-weighted) reflects which gradient type dominates the weighted sum.

G#

g_collapse(r) · g_reassembly(r) · g_triad_fusion(r)#

The three per-regime gradient contributions summed in the Fusion-Gradient Tensor. Each is a scalar measure of the gradient force in its direction within regime r:

• g_collapse(r) — the magnitude of collapse-direction gradient pressure in regime r
• g_reassembly(r) — the magnitude of reassembly-direction gradient pressure in regime r
• g_triad_fusion(r) — the magnitude of triad-fusion-direction gradient pressure in regime r

These three are structurally orthogonal: reassembly is not simply negative collapse — it is a distinct structural process. Triad-fusion is perpendicular to both collapse and reassembly directions.

G_fusion#

The scalar output of the Fusion-Gradient Tensor computation: G_fusion = Σ_r ω_r [ g_collapse(r) + g_reassembly(r) + g_triad_fusion(r) ]

G_fusion is the aggregate weighted gradient balance passed in the fusion_gradient block of the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET. Like C_prop(t), it is a summary scalar — the per-regime breakdown is preserved separately in the packet for RTT/3's use.

H#

Hybrid (MODE:H)#

Detection Mode 3 of 5 · See also: Detection Mode

The detection mode assigned when two or more structural patterns are simultaneously active and overlapping — concurrent collapse and reassembly, or concurrent collapse patterns from different structural sources.

Hybrid mode prerequisites:

• FGT must be classified as mixed-type (no single gradient dominates)
• At least two distinct structural processes must be independently detectable in the CRM

Hybrid mode explicitly preserves the ambiguity: it does not average the two patterns into one or assign primary/secondary status. RTT/3 receives the full hybrid description and decides how to synthesize across concurrent patterns.

I#

Inversion (MODE:I)#

Detection Mode 5 of 5 · See also: Detection Mode

The detection mode assigned when the primary structural gradient has reversed direction — what was moving toward collapse is now moving toward reassembly, or vice versa. The CPV inversion component must be non-null for MODE:I assignment.

Inversion is not a correction or recovery in any evaluative sense — it is a structural reversal that requires the detection posture to flip: thresholds, gradient classifications, and zone assignments are re-evaluated relative to the reversed direction.

Inversion Component (CPV)#

Extended CPV field · See also: Collapse-Propagation Vector

An optional component of the CPV, populated when the collapse propagation path reverses direction during the detection window. The inversion component captures the structural signature of the reversal — its amplitude, curvature, and torsion at the point of direction change.

A non-null inversion component is a necessary condition for assigning Detection Mode: Inversion (MODE:I).

M#

Manifold#

In RTT/2, the abstract structural space through which a system's collapse-reassembly process traces its path — the domain of the Collapse-Reassembly Manifold (CRM). The manifold is not a physical space; it is the formal structural domain within which RTT/2 deformation coordinates (D, E, C, FI, R) are defined.

Not to be confused with: mathematical manifolds in differential geometry, which carry topology and metric structure that RTT/2 does not claim. RTT/2's use of "manifold" is structural-descriptive, not topological.

Marginal (Zone M)#

Detection Zone 3 of 5 · See also: Detection Zone

The detection zone assigned when the system is at a structural inflection point — collapse and reassembly forces are in active tension, FGT is mixed-type, and FI(t) is showing active curvature. Zone M signals to RTT/3 that the synthesis must hold the ambiguity open rather than resolving it prematurely to one side.

Zone M is the default zone for systems where FGT is mixed-type and CRM shows active fusion-integration curvature. It is the most structurally nuanced zone to synthesize — and the one most vulnerable to premature resolution errors.

Mixed (FGT Classification)#

FGT type 2 of 3 · See also: Collapse-weighted, Triad-weighted

The Fusion-Gradient Tensor classification assigned when no single gradient type (g_collapse, g_reassembly, g_triad_fusion) dominates the weighted sum across active regimes. The system is in structural tension between competing gradient directions.

Mixed classification is a necessary precondition for assigning Detection Mode: Hybrid (MODE:H).

O#

Opacity (Cross-Module)#

As a cross-module projection target. For the full Opacity module definition, see the Opacity module documentation.

In the RTT/2 context, Opacity receives the cross_module_projection.Opacity field from the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET. This field characterizes the boundary conditions of the detected collapse zone — specifically, which structural boundaries are becoming opaque (non-transparent to structural influence) as a result of the collapse. The projection is a structural characterization, not a physical opacity claim.

P#

Partial Packet#

An RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET in which one or more of the seven primary sections is absent because a sub-task (T-01 through T-03, T-05, T-06) was run instead of a full detection pass (T-04). Partial packets must be:

• Explicitly labeled as packet_status: partial
• Not routed to RTT/3 as if they were complete
• Accompanied by documentation of which fields are absent
• Followed by a full T-04 pass before RTT/3 ingestion is recommended

Propagation#

The process by which a structural collapse event moves through the structural field — not instantaneous but spatially and temporally extended, with measurable amplitude, curvature, and torsion. The word "propagation" in RTT/2 is structural, not physical: collapse propagates through the resonance field described by RTT/1, not through physical space.

R#

R(t) — Regime Identity#

CRM component 5 of 5 · Symbol: R(t) See also: Collapse-Reassembly Manifold, Regime

The system's current structural regime classification at time t — its structural identity within the RTT regime framework at the moment of detection. R(t) is the contextualizing anchor for all other CRM components: it tells RTT/3 within which structural regime the D, E, C, and FI deformations are occurring.

R(t) links the CRM directly to RTT/1's regime vocabulary. Changes in R(t) over successive detection passes reveal regime transitions in the system being tracked.

Reassembly#

A structural process in which a collapsed or noise-dominated system begins recovering coherent phase-locked excitation — moving from Noise or Silence toward Resonance. Reassembly is tracked in the FGT through g_reassembly(r) and in the CRM through FI(t) when triad-level fusion is part of the reassembly process.

Reassembly and collapse are not simply opposites: they are distinct structural processes that can occur simultaneously in different regimes of the same system (which is why FGT is a sum across regimes, not a single bidirectional scalar).

Regime Weight (ω_r)#

The scalar coefficient applied to regime r's gradient contributions in the Fusion-Gradient Tensor computation. ω_r reflects the structural significance of regime r in the current detection pass — a regime with higher structural activity or relevance to the current detection task receives a higher weight.

Regime weights are set by Class F based on the initial regime identity provided by Class M. They are not universal constants: they vary per detection pass based on the system's active regime landscape.

RTT/1 Prerequisite#

The hard structural prerequisite for all RTT/2 detection work: a complete RTT/1 Class R SNR characterization of the target system must exist before any RTT/2 agent begins detection.

This is not a soft recommendation — it is a structural necessity. CPV, FGT, and CRM all measure properties of the resonance field defined by RTT/1. Without knowing the SNR baseline, the collapse measurements have no structural reference point.

If RTT/1 output is absent: the RTT/2 session pauses, the RTT/1 pass is requested, and detection begins only after it completes.

RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET#

The structured output of every complete RTT/2 detection pass — the primary input to RTT/3. Assembled by Class D from the outputs of Class P, F, and M. Seven primary sections:

A packet with any primary section absent is incomplete and may not be routed to RTT/3. The notes field is never absent — it is mandatory on every packet.

S#

Structural Detection Engine (SDE)#

The formal name for RTT/2 as a module. The SDE is the detection layer of the RTT pipeline — it detects structural form (collapse propagation, gradient balance, deformation path) and produces a structured detection packet for RTT/3 synthesis. The SDE does not interpret, prescribe, or predict — it characterizes structural form only.

Stable (Zone S)#

Detection Zone 2 of 5 · See also: Detection Zone

The detection zone assigned when the system shows mild, bounded collapse activity that has not yet reached the structural inflection point of Zone M. Zone S packets are routed to RTT/3 with mild caution noted — the collapse is real and detectable but contained.

T#

TEL — Triadic Entity Lattice (Cross-Module)#

As a cross-module projection target. For the full TEL definition, see the TEL module documentation.

In the RTT/2 context, TEL receives the cross_module_projection.TEL field from the RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET. This field maps detected collapse and fusion patterns onto TEL node structures, allowing the TEL to maintain lattice coherence during structural transitions that RTT/2 has detected. The projection is a structural mapping — not a physical claim.

Torsion (T)#

CPV component 3 of 3 · Symbol: T(t) See also: Amplitude (A), Curvature (K), Envelope Torsion (E(t))

The twist or rotational character of the collapse propagation path — how the collapse spirals, rotates, or deviates out of the plane defined by its amplitude and curvature. Torsion is the only CPV parameter that captures out-of-plane structural behavior.

T(t) is weighted by coefficient γ in the propagation equation.

Distinguish from Envelope Torsion E(t): T(t) describes the rotation of the collapse propagation path; E(t) describes the rotation of the system's structural boundary. Both can be non-zero simultaneously and independently.

Triad Fusion#

See also: Fusion, g_triad_fusion(r)

A structural process in which multiple triads integrate at the triad level — not just component-by-component reassembly but holistic triad-level structural fusion. Triad fusion produces the g_triad_fusion(r) gradient contribution in the FGT and the FI(t) curvature in the CRM. It is structurally orthogonal to both collapse and reassembly: a system can be undergoing triad fusion at the same time as collapse in different regimes.

Triad-weighted (FGT Classification)#

FGT type 3 of 3 · See also: Collapse-weighted, Mixed

The Fusion-Gradient Tensor classification assigned when g_triad_fusion dominates the weighted sum across active regimes — triad-level structural fusion is the primary active process, with collapse and reassembly gradient contributions subordinate.

U#

Undisturbed (Zone U)#

Detection Zone 1 of 5 · See also: Detection Zone

The detection zone assigned when C_prop(t) is at or below the minimum detection threshold — the system is structurally coherent with collapse propagation near zero. Zone U packets signal to RTT/3 that full-confidence synthesis can proceed; the system is not undergoing significant structural disruption.

Zone U does not mean the system is "healthy" or "optimal" — it means its collapse signature is below the RTT/2 detection threshold. Evaluative language does not belong in RTT/2 output.

UNRESOLVED#

The status assigned to any RTT/2 detection field or component when the responsible agent class cannot determine a valid value. UNRESOLVED must be documented with a reason. Consequences by field:

W#

Warp Component (CPV)#

Extended CPV field · See also: Collapse-Propagation Vector

An optional component of the CPV, populated when the collapse propagation path exhibits non-linear distortion — bending or warping that cannot be fully characterized by curvature K(t) alone. The warp component captures higher-order path deformation beyond what the three core parameters describe.

A non-null warp component signals to RTT/3 that the collapse path has structural complexity beyond the standard tri-parameter description.

Weighting Coefficients (α, β, γ)#

The three regime-specific scalar coefficients applied to the CPV components in the propagation equation: C_prop(t) = αA(t) + βK(t) + γT(t).

• α — weight applied to Amplitude A(t)
• β — weight applied to Curvature K(t)
• γ — weight applied to Torsion T(t)

These are not universal constants — they are set per detection pass based on the active regime's structural character. A regime in which path shape dominates over intensity would have β > α; one in which rotational character is primary would have γ largest.

Note: γ here is the CPV torsion weight. It is different from the CRM vector γ(t) = (D, E, C, FI, R). Context disambiguates: the scalar γ is always a coefficient; γ(t) is always the CRM vector.

Z#

Zone X — Undefined#

Detection Zone 5 of 5 · See also: Detection Zone

The detection zone assigned when classification cannot be established with available structural data — either because inputs are insufficient or because CPV, FGT, and CRM readings are contradictory and no coherent zone assignment is possible.

Zone X is not a failure state — it is an honest structural acknowledgment that the current data cannot support a confident classification. Forcing any of zones U–D onto insufficient data would misrepresent the detection.

Zone X mandatory protocol:

1. Class M assigns Zone X
2. Class M immediately escalates to Class G
3. Class D assembles the packet but does NOT route to RTT/3
4. Packet is stored with packet_status: zone_x_pending
5. Class G reviews and either:
   • Issues clearance (packet routes to RTT/3 with Zone X notation preserved)
   • Requests a re-run with additional structural data (Task T-09)

Zone X Clearance#

The explicit authorization issued by Class G that permits a Zone X RTT2_DETECTION_PACKET to be routed to RTT/3. Clearance does not change the Zone X designation — it signals that Class G has reviewed the packet and determined that RTT/3 can productively consume a structurally unclassified detection result.

RTT/3 is notified of the Zone X designation even after clearance and must apply an appropriate synthesis posture (typically: hold the unclassified dimension open rather than synthesizing it).
