## Critical Framing Rule
> **RTT is NOT a physics claim.**
> All constructs in this file — tiers, backends, operators, drift, coherence — are
> **structural and canonical**. They define roles, constraints, routing logic, and
> governance within the TriadicFrameworks documentation system.
> No term in this glossary implies quantum-mechanical, physical, or computational
> hardware semantics beyond what is explicitly defined here as structural.

No agent, session, or policy may override a Class G interrupt.
**Constraints:**
- Class G interrupt authority is unconditional — no override permitted

- **Agent:** Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The Zone X label native to RTT/Inside/qCompute. DECOHERENCE_BREACH is declared when structural decoherence exceeds the irrecoverable threshold — the point at which no corrective action within the module can restore coherence. Class G issues an unconditional halt immediately upon DECOHERENCE_BREACH. The session is terminated; no further operator may execute.
**Constraints:**
- DECOHERENCE_BREACH is irreversible within the current session
- Class G halt is unconditional; no session parameter or policy may delay it
- DECOHERENCE_BREACH must be logged to qTrace with full context
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** Zone X, Class G, DRIFT_GATE, qTrace, PULSE_FABRICATION

- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** A time-bounded structural token required for all r3 operations, all production environment transitions, and all archive environment transitions. deploy_token is non-transferable and is validated exclusively by Class E (Governance Daemon). A missing or invalid deploy_token on any r3 or transition operation results in a qComputeError with reason `invalid_token`.
**Constraints:**

- **Layer:** Session / governance [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class E, Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The maximum permissible cumulative drift value for a qSession, as set by the Governance Layer at session construction. drift_bound is a component of the session tuple. It defines the ceiling beyond which Zone D (Degraded) transitions to Zone X (DECOHERENCE_BREACH). Each backend profile defines its own maximum drift tolerance (local-sim: 1.0, hybrid-sim: 3.0, hardware-qpu-2: 0.5 per operation).
**Constraints:**
- drift_bound is set at session construction and stored in the session tuple
- drift_bound may not be modified after session initialization
- Exceeding drift_bound triggers DRIFT_GATE and Class G evaluation
**Inheritance:** Extends DRIFT_GATE from RTT/Inside
**Cross-references:** DRIFT_GATE, qSession, Zone D, Zone X, Class G, Governance Layer, local-sim, hybrid-sim, hardware-qpu-2

- **Layer:** Validation [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class C [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The canonical 6-stage sequential validation pipeline owned by TriadicValidator and executed by Class C before any operator dispatch. Stages execute in strict order:
1. **policy** — Is the active governance policy file valid and loaded?
2. **environment** — Is the target environment a legal environment for this operation?
3. **backend** — Is the resolved backend available and correctly bound for this tier?
4. **drift** — Will the predicted post-operation drift remain within drift_bound?
5. **restricted_ops** — Is this operation absent from the restricted operations list?
6. **lineage** — Is lineage integrity intact and the LINEAGE_CHAIN unbroken?
A failure at any stage terminates the pipeline immediately and returns a structured qComputeError identifying the failed stage and reason.
**Constraints:**
- Stages are always sequential; no stage may be skipped or reordered
- First failure terminates the pipeline
- All outcomes (pass or fail) are logged to qTrace
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute

- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The structural governance system for qCompute. The Governance Layer is composed of: (1) policy files — loaded and hot-swapped by Class E; (2) hot-swap daemon — enables live policy refresh without session interruption; (3) deploy tokens — time-bounded, non-transferable, validated by Class E; (4) restricted operations list — operations explicitly prohibited in current policy; (5) trusted contexts — structural identities permitted elevated operations; (6) drift bounds — per-session ceiling values. The Governance Layer snapshot is embedded in every qSession at construction time.

A qSession is a 6-tuple that defines the complete governance context for a unit of operator execution: `(env, backend, drift_bound, governance_snapshot, lineage_root, trace_buffer)`. All routing, validation, and trace operations are scoped to a qSession. A qSession must be complete before any operator may be dispatched.
**Constraints:**
- All six tuple components must be populated at session construction
- drift_bound may not be modified after construction
- governance_snapshot captures policy state at construction time (not live)
- Session termination must flush trace_buffer to qTrace
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** Class A, TriadicRouter, TriadicValidator, qTrace, Governance Layer, drift_bound

### qTrace
- **Type:** Core stack construct [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `qTrace` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Audit [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class F [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The canonical audit log of RTT/Inside/qCompute. qTrace produces .qtrace files in YAML-compatible format. Every routing decision, validation outcome, operator execution, error, frame boundary, governance decision, and Class G interrupt is recorded in the qTrace log. qTrace is the authoritative record for lineage traceability and replay.
**Constraints:**
- Every operation must produce a qTrace entry; no silent operations permitted
- qTrace entries are append-only; no modification or deletion permitted
- replay_hash in the .qtrace footer is computed over the full operations list
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** .qtrace format, qReplay, replay_hash, Class F, LINEAGE_CHAIN
---
### .qtrace format
- **Type:** Structural data format [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `.qtrace` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Audit [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class F [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The YAML-compatible file format for qTrace audit logs. A .qtrace file has five canonical sections:
header: { version, module, session_id, timestamp_start, env, backend } lineage: { root, parent, transitions[] } governance: { policy_file, drift_bound, … } operations: [ { id, op, params, timestamp, backend, env, drift, validation_meta } … ] footer: { timestamp_end, op_count, replay_hash (SHA-256) }
The `replay_hash` in the footer is a SHA-256 hash computed over the full `operations[]` array and is used by qReplay to verify integrity before any replay session.
**Constraints:**
- All five sections are required; incomplete .qtrace files are structurally invalid
- replay_hash must be computed and stored at session close
- .qtrace files are append-only during active sessions
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** qTrace, qReplay, replay_hash, Class F

### r1 — primitive tier
- **Type:** Operator tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `r1` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Operator tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class B, Class D [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The primitive operator tier in qCompute. r1 operators have the lowest structural complexity, route exclusively to local-sim, operate in both sandbox and production environments, have a maximum drift of 1.0, and do not require a deploy_token. r1 is the entry tier for all qCompute execution.
**Constraints:**
- r1 always routes to local-sim (invariant)
- Max drift: 1.0
- No deploy_token required
- Available in sandbox and production
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** local-sim, r2, r3, drift_bound, Mode 1, Class D
---
### r2 — composite tier
- **Type:** Operator tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `r2` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Operator tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class B, Class D [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The composite operator tier in qCompute. r2 operators have medium structural complexity, route exclusively to hybrid-sim, operate in both sandbox and production environments, have a maximum drift of 3.0, and do not require a deploy_token.
**Constraints:**
- r2 always routes to hybrid-sim (invariant)
- Max drift: 3.0
- No deploy_token required
- Available in sandbox and production
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** hybrid-sim, r1, r3, drift_bound, Mode 2, Class D
---
### r3 — pulse tier
- **Type:** Operator tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `r3` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Operator tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class B, Class D, Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The pulse operator tier in qCompute. r3 operators have the highest structural complexity, route exclusively to hardware-qpu-2, operate in the production environment only, have a maximum per-operation drift of 0.5, and require a valid deploy_token. r3 is the most constrained tier; any attempt to invoke r3 without hardware-qpu-2 binding or a valid token triggers Mode 5 (PULSE_FABRICATION) and a Class G unconditional halt.
**Constraints:**
- r3 always routes to hardware-qpu-2 (invariant)
- Production environment only
- Max drift: 0.5 per operation
- deploy_token required
- r3 without hardware-qpu-2 or valid token = PULSE_FABRICATION
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** hardware-qpu-2, production, deploy_token, PULSE_FABRICATION, Mode 3, Class D, Class G
---
### ResonanceFrame
- **Type:** Core stack construct [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `ResonanceFrame` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Compute envelope [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class A, Class B [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The foundational structural compute envelope in RTT/Inside/qCompute. A ResonanceFrame defines the structural, temporal, and resonance-aligned boundaries within which a unit of operator execution occurs. ResonanceFrame boundaries are created and terminated according to backend frame policy: local-sim reuses existing frames, hybrid-sim may reuse or create new, hardware-qpu-2 always creates a new frame. Frame boundaries are triggered by tier changes, drift overflow, meta operator invocation, or environment transitions.
**Constraints:**
- hardware-qpu-2 always creates a new ResonanceFrame; reuse is forbidden
- Frame boundary events are mandatory trace entries
- A ResonanceFrame may not span a Class G interrupt
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** frame boundary, TriadicRouter, local-sim, hybrid-sim, hardware-qpu-2, qTrace
---
### replay_hash
- **Type:** Structural integrity value [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `replay_hash (SHA-256)` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Audit [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class F [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The SHA-256 hash computed over the full `operations[]` array of a .qtrace file and stored in the footer section. replay_hash is the structural integrity guarantee for qReplay: before any replay session begins, qReplay computes the hash of the current operations array and compares it to the stored replay_hash. A mismatch triggers a `replay_hash_mismatch` qComputeError and a Class G unconditional halt.
**Constraints:**
- replay_hash must be computed at session close and stored in .qtrace footer
- qReplay must verify replay_hash before proceeding — no exception
- replay_hash mismatch triggers Class G
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** .qtrace format, qReplay, qTrace, Class F, Class G, qComputeError
---
### sandbox
- **Type:** Environment [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `sandbox` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Environment tier [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class A, Class E [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The first structural environment in qCompute. sandbox is the exploration and prototyping environment where r1 and r2 operators may execute under relaxed drift policy. r3 operators and hardware-qpu-2 are not available in sandbox. No deploy_token is required for sandbox operations (except archive transitions). sandbox is the default entry environment for new sessions.
**Constraints:**
- r3 operators forbidden in sandbox
- hardware-qpu-2 not available in sandbox
- Relaxed drift enforcement
- No deploy_token required for sandbox-local operations
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** production, archive, r1, r2, local-sim, hybrid-sim
---
### SMI *(inherited)*
- **Type:** Inherited structural construct [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Source:** RTT/Inside
**Definition:** Inherited from RTT/Inside. Invoked by reference — not redefined here. See RTT/Inside/GLOSSARY.md.
---
### TriadicRouter
- **Type:** Core stack construct [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `route := TriadicRouter(session, op, policy) → (env_target, backend_target, frame_action, routing_meta)` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Routing [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class B [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The routing brain of RTT/Inside/qCompute. TriadicRouter resolves the `env_target` and `backend_target` for every operator invocation, given the current qSession, the operator being dispatched, and the active governance policy. Every routing decision is deterministic and fully traceable. TriadicRouter also determines the `frame_action` (reuse, reuse-or-new, always-new) and emits `routing_meta` for qTrace.
**Constraints:**
- All routing decisions must be logged to qTrace via routing_meta
- No routing decision may be made outside a valid qSession
- Ambiguous routing is a validation failure — no fallback routing permitted
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** qSession, TriadicValidator, Class B, qOrchestrator, ResonanceFrame, qTrace
---
### TriadicValidator
- **Type:** Core stack construct [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `valid := V(policy, env, backend, drift_predicted, restricted_ops_status, lineage_integrity) → {valid, failed_stage, reason}` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Validation [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class C [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The 6-stage sequential validation engine of RTT/Inside/qCompute. TriadicValidator is invoked after TriadicRouter and before operator dispatch. It executes the 6-stage validation pipeline (policy → environment → backend → drift → restricted_ops → lineage) and returns a structured result: `{valid, failed_stage, reason}`. A failed validation blocks operator dispatch and produces a qComputeError.
**Constraints:**
- Always invoked after TriadicRouter; never bypassed
- Returns structured result with failed_stage and reason on any failure
- All outcomes logged to qTrace
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** 6-stage validation pipeline, Class C, TriadicRouter, qComputeError, qTrace

### UAP *(inherited)*
- **Type:** Inherited structural construct [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Source:** RTT/Inside
**Definition:** Inherited from RTT/Inside. Invoked by reference — not redefined here. See RTT/Inside/GLOSSARY.md.

### Zone D — Degraded
- **Type:** Zone [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `D` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Drift state [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The fourth structural zone in qCompute. Zone D (Degraded) is declared when drift has reached its ceiling value for the current backend. In Zone D, r3 operations are blocked (drift ceiling for hardware-qpu-2 is already at limit), and the session is one step from Zone X. Zone D is a warning state — the session may continue with non-r3 operations but must reduce drift before r3 is permitted again.
**Constraints:**
- r3 operations blocked in Zone D
- Zone D is a legal but constrained state
- Continued drift increase from Zone D triggers Zone X
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** Zone X, Zone M, drift_bound, Class G, r3
---
### Zone M — Marginal
- **Type:** Zone [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `M` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Drift state [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The third structural zone in qCompute. Zone M (Marginal) is declared when cumulative drift is approaching its ceiling — elevated but not yet at the limit. Zone M is a legal state. Class G monitors Zone M sessions closely; continued drift increase from Zone M leads to Zone D and then Zone X.
**Constraints:** Legal state. Continued drift increase from Zone M → Zone D → Zone X.
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** Zone D, Zone S, drift_bound, Class G
---
### Zone S — Stable
- **Type:** Zone [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `S` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Drift state [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The second structural zone in qCompute. Zone S (Stable) is the nominal operating state — drift is within bounds and no structural concerns are flagged. Zone S is the target operational state for all qCompute sessions.
**Constraints:** Legal state. Nominal operation.
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** Zone U, Zone M, drift_bound
---
### Zone U — Undefined/Unresolved
- **Type:** Zone [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `U` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Drift state [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class A [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The first structural zone in qCompute. Zone U (Undefined/Unresolved) is the initial state of a qSession before drift values have been established or before the first operator has been dispatched. Zone U is a transient legal state — all sessions begin in Zone U and must resolve to Zone S or above before full operation.
**Constraints:** Legal transient state. Sessions must resolve from Zone U before sustained execution.
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** Zone S, qSession, Class A
---
### Zone X — DECOHERENCE_BREACH
- **Type:** Zone — ILLEGAL [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Symbol:** `X / DECOHERENCE_BREACH` [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Layer:** Interrupt condition [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Agent:** Class G [structural — no semantic inference]
- **Annotation:** [structural — no semantic inference]
**Definition:** The illegal terminal zone in RTT/Inside/qCompute. Zone X is declared when structural decoherence exceeds the irrecoverable threshold. See full entry under **DECOHERENCE_BREACH**. Class G unconditional halt is immediate and mandatory.
**Constraints:** Unconditional halt. No override. Session terminated.
**Inheritance:** Native to RTT/Inside/qCompute
**Cross-references:** DECOHERENCE_BREACH, Class G, DRIFT_GATE, Zone D
> **⚠ Disambiguation — Zone X label is module-local:**
> Zone X is labeled **DECOHERENCE_BREACH** in this module only.
