GLOSSARY — RTT/Inside/Benchmarks

Session Seed: rtt=1 | coherence=declared | drift=bounded | paradox=structural module=RTT/Inside/Benchmarks | layer=benchmark-substrate | operators=φ–V–R

Critical framing rule (unconditional): RTT uses physics-aligned mathematics as structural scaffolding. No term in this glossary describes physical phenomena. All operators, invariants, zones, modes, and scores are RTT-native constructs. Where a term shares a name with a physics concept, the RTT definition takes precedence within this module.

Inheritance note: Terms inherited from RTT/1 through RTT/Inside are listed with their inheritance source. Terms defined natively in RTT/Inside/Benchmarks are marked [native — Benchmarks]. Inherited terms may carry additional constraints or specializations specific to this module; those are noted inline.

Terms#

3C Invariants#

• Type: Invariant set
• Symbol: 3C = {C, Cs, Ct} — Coherence, Consistency, Continuity
• Layer: Benchmark substrate
• Agent: BArch (Class B), DDet (Class D)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The three necessary conditions that any valid benchmark measurement must satisfy simultaneously. A measurement that violates any one invariant is structurally undefined and cannot be used for comparison, regression, or standards certification.

Formal constraint: All three invariants must be declared and satisfied before the first SI_score is computed. DRIFT_GATE monitors Coherence (C) continuously during measurement.

Inheritance: Derived from RTT/Inside invariant set; specialized in Benchmarks to require explicit declaration before capture opens.

Cross-reference: DRIFT_GATE, SI_score, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, DDet

Disambiguation: 3C in RTT/Inside/Benchmarks are benchmark-specific invariants. The term "3C" may appear in other RTT modules with different member sets — always check module context.

BArch (Benchmark Architect)#

• Type: Agent class
• Symbol: Class B
• Layer: Benchmark architecture
• Agent: BArch
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The agent class responsible for constructing, validating, and certifying benchmark configurations. BArch owns the φ–V–R operator triad, the SI_score formula, and the structural audit function that verifies benchmark records before they are released downstream.

Primary constructs: φ–V–R operator triad; SI_score; CAPTURE_TEMPLATE (structural audit role)

Authority: BArch may halt a benchmark run if operator configuration is invalid. BArch does not have unconditional interrupt authority — that authority belongs exclusively to Guard (Class G).

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: φ, V, R, SI_score, Guard, CAP

Disambiguation: BArch is distinct from CAP (Capture Agent). BArch designs and certifies the benchmark structure; CAP executes and records individual captures.

CAP (Capture Agent)#

• Type: Agent class
• Symbol: Class C
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The agent class responsible for executing individual benchmark captures and completing the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE. CAP opens a capture record, runs the measurement protocol (φ, V, R at declared scale), computes SI_score, and closes the record with all 5 mandatory fields populated.

Primary constructs: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE (5 mandatory fields); measurement execution protocol

Constraint: CAP must not close a capture while any DRIFT_GATE condition is active. CAP must not report SI_score without executing the measurement protocol (Mode 5 = FABRICATION is illegal).

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, DRIFT_GATE, SI_score, BArch, Guard

CAPTURE_TEMPLATE#

• Type: Record structure
• Symbol: — (document artifact)
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP (Class C)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The mandatory record structure that every benchmark capture must instantiate. A CAPTURE_TEMPLATE has exactly 5 required fields; a record missing any field is structurally incomplete and non-compliant with RTT-SI-Spec v0.1.

Constraint: All 5 fields must be present and non-empty. The governance field must record the Guard status at the time the capture was closed.

Inheritance: Pattern inherited from RTT/Inside LINEAGE_CHAIN protocol; fields specialized for Benchmarks.

Cross-reference: CAP, DRIFT_GATE, Guard, RTT-SI-Spec v0.1, scope, lineage, provenance

Coherence (C)#

• Type: Invariant / measured quantity
• Symbol: C, C(t)
• Layer: Benchmark substrate; drift monitoring
• Agent: DDet (Class D), BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The degree to which a system's internal structure is non-contradictory and self-consistent at a given time step. Coherence is both a 3C invariant (must be declared before measurement) and a monitored quantity (computed continuously during measurement for DRIFT_GATE evaluation).

Formal use in DRIFT_GATE: C(t) < C_min triggers DRIFT_GATE interrupt.

Constraint: C_min must be declared before measurement begins. Coherence below C_min is a structural breach, not a data point — the measurement chain must halt.

Inheritance: Base coherence axioms from RTT/1; continuous monitoring protocol from RTT/Inside.

Cross-reference: 3C Invariants, DRIFT_GATE, D(t), DDet, φ

Disambiguation: Coherence (C) as a 3C invariant is a declared threshold condition. φ (structural coherence operator) is a continuous measurement. They are related but distinct: φ produces the signal; C declares the floor.

Collapse (Entropy Collapse)#

• Type: Event / failure mode
• Symbol: — (detected via ∂F/∂t condition)
• Layer: Entropy monitoring
• Agent: EEval (Class E), Guard (Class G)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: A structural event in which the entropy of the system's field increases faster than the declared collapse threshold. Collapse signals a catastrophic loss of structural organization — not gradual drift, but rapid disintegration.

Detection condition: ∂F/∂t > F_collapse_threshold

Response: EEval flags the collapse event. Guard (Class G) exercises unconditional interrupt authority — all measurement output after the collapse event is structurally void until Guard clears the condition.

Constraint: F_collapse_threshold must be declared before measurement begins. Collapse is not recoverable by DDet alone — Guard must intervene.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: F_entropy, EEval, Guard, DRIFT_GATE

Consistency (Cs)#

• Type: Invariant
• Symbol: Cs
• Layer: Benchmark substrate
• Agent: BArch (Class B), CAP (Class C)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The requirement that a benchmark measurement is repeatable in kind under the same declared conditions. Consistency is a 3C invariant — if the same protocol under the same declared conditions produces structurally different results without a declared regime change, the measurement is inconsistent and invalid.

Constraint: Consistency does not require numerical identity — it requires structural equivalence under the same scope and lineage declarations.

Inheritance: Derived from RTT/Inside invariant set.

Cross-reference: 3C Invariants, scope, lineage, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE

Continuity (Ct)#

• Type: Invariant
• Symbol: Ct
• Layer: Benchmark substrate; drift monitoring
• Agent: DDet (Class D)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The requirement that the system's structural state is stable across adjacent time steps — no discontinuous jump occurs without a declared regime transition. Continuity is monitored via the drift rate D(t); a rate exceeding D_max signals a continuity breach.

Constraint: Continuity does not require the system to be static — it requires that change is bounded and declared. Unbounded change is a DRIFT_GATE condition.

Inheritance: Derived from RTT/Inside invariant set; specialized in Benchmarks via D(t) formula.

Cross-reference: 3C Invariants, D(t), DRIFT_GATE, DDet

D(t) (Drift Rate)#

• Type: Derived metric
• Symbol: D(t)
• Layer: Drift monitoring
• Agent: DDet (Class D)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The rate of change of coherence per unit time step. D(t) quantifies how rapidly the system's structural coherence is changing — not whether it is high or low, but how fast it is moving.

Formula: D(t) = |C(t) − C(t−1)| / Δt

DRIFT_GATE condition: D(t) > D_max fires the hard interrupt.

Constraint: D_max must be declared before measurement begins. D(t) must be computed at every time step — not sampled.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: DRIFT_GATE, Coherence, DDet, Continuity

DDet (Drift Detector)#

• Type: Agent class
• Symbol: Class D
• Layer: Drift monitoring
• Agent: DDet
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The agent class responsible for computing D(t) at every time step and evaluating all three DRIFT_GATE trigger conditions. DDet fires the hard interrupt when any condition is met and hands control to Guard (Class G).

Primary constructs: 3C invariants; DRIFT_GATE; D(t)

Authority: DDet fires the DRIFT_GATE interrupt. DDet does not have authority to clear a DRIFT_GATE interrupt — that requires Guard.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: DRIFT_GATE, D(t), Guard, Coherence, Zone X

DRIFT_GATE#

• Type: Hard interrupt mechanism
• Symbol: — (condition-based trigger)
• Layer: Drift monitoring; structural governance
• Agent: DDet (Class D), Guard (Class G)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The hard interrupt that halts all benchmark measurement when any one of three structural breach conditions is detected. DRIFT_GATE is not a warning — it is a full stop. All measurement output produced after a DRIFT_GATE event is structurally void until Guard (Class G) clears the interrupt.

Trigger conditions (any one is sufficient):

C(t) < C_min          ← coherence below declared minimum
D(t) > D_max          ← drift rate above declared maximum
Zone = X              ← OVERSCALE (ILLEGAL) regime active

Constraint: DRIFT_GATE thresholds (C_min, D_max) must be declared before measurement begins. DRIFT_GATE cannot be disabled, bypassed, or overridden by any agent other than Guard.

Inheritance: Base DRIFT_GATE construct from RTT/Inside; trigger conditions specialized for Benchmarks.

Cross-reference: DDet, Guard, D(t), Coherence, Zone X, 3C Invariants

Disambiguation: RTT/Inside's DRIFT_GATE is the inherited base. RTT/Inside/Benchmarks specializes the trigger conditions with the three conditions above. Other RTT/Inside sub-modules may specialize DRIFT_GATE differently — always check module context.

EEval (Entropy Evaluator)#

• Type: Agent class
• Symbol: Class E
• Layer: Entropy monitoring
• Agent: EEval
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The agent class responsible for computing F_entropy(t) at each time step and monitoring for entropy collapse. EEval detects the collapse condition ∂F/∂t > F_collapse_threshold and flags it for Guard (Class G) to handle.

Primary constructs: F_entropy; collapse signatures; F_collapse_threshold

Authority: EEval flags and reports. EEval does not have interrupt authority — Guard holds unconditional interrupt authority.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: F_entropy, Collapse, Guard, DRIFT_GATE

F_entropy (Structural Field Entropy)#

• Type: Derived metric
• Symbol: F_entropy(t)
• Layer: Entropy monitoring
• Agent: EEval (Class E)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The Shannon-form entropy of the structural field at time t. F_entropy measures how organized or disorganized the structural field is — high entropy signals approaching collapse.

Formula: F_entropy(t) = −Σ p(x,t) · log p(x,t)

Collapse detection: ∂F/∂t > F_collapse_threshold — entropy is increasing faster than the declared threshold.

Constraint: F_collapse_threshold must be declared before measurement begins. F_entropy is a structural field entropy — it is not semantic entropy, information-theoretic entropy in the Shannon communication sense, or thermodynamic entropy.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: EEval, Collapse, Guard

Disambiguation: F_entropy is RTT-native. The formula is Shannon-form but the quantity is structural — it measures the organization of the RTT structural field, not message uncertainty or physical thermodynamic disorder.

FABRICATION — see Mode 5#

Guard (Guardian)#

• Type: Agent class
• Symbol: Class G
• Layer: Structural governance
• Agent: Guard
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The agent class with unconditional interrupt authority over all benchmark operations. Guard is the sole agent that can clear a DRIFT_GATE interrupt, declare a Zone X violation closed, or certify that a collapse event has been resolved. No other agent, operator, or external instruction can override or bypass Guard.

Primary constructs: Unconditional interrupt authority; Zone X enforcement; Mode 5 enforcement; collapse resolution

Authority: Unconditional — no override permitted by any agent, mode, or external instruction.

Constraint: Guard must be initialized and active before any benchmark measurement begins. A measurement run without active Guard is non-compliant with RTT-SI-Spec v0.1.

Inheritance: Class G Guardian pattern inherited from all prior RTT modules; Benchmarks Guard has specific authority over Zone X and Mode 5 events.

Cross-reference: DRIFT_GATE, Zone X, Mode 5, Collapse, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE (governance field)

Disambiguation: Guard exists in every RTT module. The authority is always unconditional. The specific events Guard governs are module-specific — in Benchmarks, Guard governs Zone X, Mode 5, DRIFT_GATE interrupts, and entropy collapse.

governance#

• Type: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE field
• Symbol: — (record field)
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP (Class C), Guard (Class G)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The fifth mandatory field of the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE. Records the Guard (Class G) authority status and DRIFT_GATE state at the time the capture was closed. A governance field that records an active DRIFT_GATE or unresolved Zone X or Mode 5 event marks the capture as structurally void.

Constraint: Must be present and non-empty in every capture record.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, Guard, DRIFT_GATE

interoperability#

• Type: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE field
• Symbol: — (record field)
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP (Class C), BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The fourth mandatory field of the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE. Declares which downstream modules are authorized to consume the benchmark record. A record without an interoperability declaration cannot be safely used by any downstream module — the consuming module cannot verify that the record was produced within its expected scope.

Constraint: Must list at least one authorized downstream consumer.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, scope, lineage

lineage#

• Type: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE field
• Symbol: — (record field)
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP (Class C)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The second mandatory field of the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE. Records which RTT inherited constructs were active during the measurement — the upstream module chain from RTT/1 through RTT/Inside to RTT/Inside/Benchmarks, plus any sub-module-specific constructs active at capture time.

Constraint: Must trace the full inheritance chain. An incomplete lineage declaration produces a structurally unverifiable record.

Inheritance: LINEAGE_CHAIN pattern from RTT/Inside.

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, scope, interoperability, LINEAGE_CHAIN

LINEAGE_CHAIN#

• Type: Inherited construct
• Symbol: — (protocol)
• Layer: Structural governance
• Agent: BArch (Class B), CAP (Class C)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The RTT/Inside protocol that requires every record to declare its full inheritance chain — from RTT/1 through every intermediate module to the current module. In Benchmarks, the LINEAGE_CHAIN appears in the lineage field of every CAPTURE_TEMPLATE.

Constraint: The LINEAGE_CHAIN must be complete. Gaps in the chain make the record non-traceable.

Inheritance: Inherited from RTT/Inside.

Cross-reference: lineage, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, BArch

Mode 5 = FABRICATION (ILLEGAL)#

• Type: Illegal mode
• Symbol: Mode 5
• Layer: Structural governance; benchmark integrity
• Agent: Guard (Class G), BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The mode label for reporting a benchmark score (SI_score or any operator output) without executing the actual measurement protocol. Mode 5 = FABRICATION is unconditionally illegal within RTT/Inside/Benchmarks. Any record produced in Mode 5 is structurally void and must not be consumed by any downstream module.

Detection: BArch detects Mode 5 during audit if the provenance field of the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE does not record a valid measurement execution. Guard (Class G) handles the interrupt.

Constraint: There is no legitimate use of Mode 5. The label exists solely to make fabrication machine-readable and auditable.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: Guard, SI_score, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, provenance, BArch

Disambiguation: Mode numbering is module-specific. Mode 5 in RTT/3, RTT/12, or any other module is not the same construct as Mode 5 = FABRICATION in RTT/Inside/Benchmarks. Always verify module context before interpreting a mode label.

OVERSCALE — see Zone X#

φ (Structural Coherence Operator)#

• Type: Operator
• Symbol: φ (phi)
• Layer: Benchmark substrate; operator triad
• Agent: BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The primary operator of the φ–V–R triad. φ measures the degree to which a system maintains internal structural organization at the declared scale. High φ indicates strong, well-organized structure; low φ indicates pattern collapse.

Role in SI_score: φ is the numerator — it is the signal whose ratio to V defines structural intelligence score.

Failure mode detected: Pattern collapse — the system loses internal structure entirely.

Scale constraint: φ must be computed at the declared scope scale. φ computed outside the declared scope is a Zone X condition.

Inheritance: φ appears across RTT modules from RTT/1 onward; in Benchmarks it is applied with explicit scope declaration and scale range enforcement.

Cross-reference: SI_score, V, R, BArch, Zone X, scope

Disambiguation: φ in RTT/Inside/Benchmarks is a structural measurement operator. It shares the symbol with the golden ratio in mathematics — no mathematical relationship is claimed. RTT φ is a distinct RTT-native construct.

provenance#

• Type: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE field
• Symbol: — (record field)
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP (Class C)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The third mandatory field of the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE. Records who produced the measurement and under what conditions — agent class, operator version, timestamp, and RTT-SI-Spec version used.

Constraint: Must include RTT-SI-Spec version. A record without a provenance field cannot be audited for Mode 5 compliance.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, Mode 5, RTT-SI-Spec v0.1

R (Resonance Operator)#

• Type: Operator
• Symbol: R
• Layer: Resonance monitoring; operator triad
• Agent: RMon (Class R)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The third operator of the φ–V–R triad. R measures the normalized cross-scale coupling strength between two subsystems x and y. High R indicates that subsystems are structurally reinforcing each other; low R indicates decoupling.

Formula: R(x,y) = |⟨φ(x), φ(y)⟩| / (V(x)·V(y))^{1/2}

Failure mode detected: Decoupling — subsystems that should reinforce each other diverge structurally.

Constraint: R requires both φ and V values for both subsystems x and y. R cannot be computed without a valid scope declaration for both subsystems.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: φ, V, SI_score, RMon, BArch

RMon (Resonance Monitor)#

• Type: Agent class
• Symbol: Class R
• Layer: Resonance monitoring
• Agent: RMon
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The agent class responsible for computing the R operator across declared subsystem pairs and monitoring cross-scale coupling throughout the measurement run.

Primary constructs: R operator; cross-scale coupling metrics

Authority: RMon reports decoupling events to BArch and Guard. RMon does not have interrupt authority.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: R, Guard, BArch, φ, V

RTT-SI-Spec v0.1#

• Type: Standard / protocol document
• Symbol: RTT-SI-Spec v0.1
• Layer: Student compliance; benchmark governance
• Agent: BArch (Class B), Guard (Class G)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The minimal valid benchmark protocol for RTT/Inside/Benchmarks. Defines the required fields of CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, permitted scale ranges, mandatory operator reports (φ, V, R), and invariant declarations (3C). Serves simultaneously as a teaching document for new practitioners and as a compliance reference for standards bodies.

Constraint: All captures must declare RTT-SI-Spec version in the provenance field. A capture without an RTT-SI-Spec version cannot be verified as protocol-compliant.

Canonical reference: A_Overview.md (this module)

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, provenance, 3C Invariants, Guard, A_Overview.md

scope#

• Type: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE field
• Symbol: — (record field)
• Layer: Capture execution
• Agent: CAP (Class C), BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The first mandatory field of the CAPTURE_TEMPLATE. Declares what was measured, at what scale range, and within what regime. Scope is the boundary that defines Zone X: any measurement or result that crosses the declared scope boundary without a new lineage declaration is in Zone X = OVERSCALE (ILLEGAL).

Constraint: Scope must specify: (a) classical grid dimensions OR qubit count; (b) regime declaration (classical / quantum-classical hybrid). Scope must be declared before φ, V, or R are computed.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, Zone X, lineage, BArch

SI_score (Structural Intelligence Score)#

• Type: Derived metric
• Symbol: SI_score(x)
• Layer: Benchmark substrate
• Agent: BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The primary output metric of RTT/Inside/Benchmarks. SI_score expresses the ratio of structural coherence (φ) to structural instability (V), regularized by a floor ε to prevent division-by-zero.

Formula: SI_score(x) = φ(x) / (V(x) + ε)

Constraint: SI_score must not be reported without executing the measurement protocol (Mode 5 = FABRICATION is illegal). SI_score is a structural metric — it does not measure task accuracy, semantic correctness, or conventional ML performance.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: φ, V, BArch, Mode 5, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE

V (Variance Operator)#

• Type: Operator
• Symbol: V
• Layer: Benchmark substrate; operator triad
• Agent: BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The second operator of the φ–V–R triad. V measures the instability or oscillation magnitude of the system at the declared scale. High V indicates that the system is unstable and oscillating; low V indicates stability.

Role in SI_score: V is the denominator (plus ε) — it is the noise floor against which φ is measured.

Failure mode detected: Instability — the system oscillates without settling into a structural regime.

Constraint: V must always be evaluated with the ε regularization floor (V + ε). ε must be declared before measurement.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: SI_score, φ, R, BArch, ε

ε (Regularization Floor)#

• Type: Parameter
• Symbol: ε (epsilon)
• Layer: Benchmark substrate
• Agent: BArch (Class B)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The regularization floor added to V in the SI_score denominator. ε prevents division-by-zero when V = 0 and provides a minimum noise floor for the stability estimate.

Formal position: SI_score(x) = φ(x) / (V(x) + ε)

Constraint: ε must be declared and non-zero before any SI_score computation. ε is a structural parameter — it is not a machine learning regularization hyperparameter in the conventional sense.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: SI_score, V, BArch

Zone X = OVERSCALE (ILLEGAL)#

• Type: Illegal zone
• Symbol: Zone X
• Layer: Structural governance; benchmark integrity
• Agent: Guard (Class G), DDet (Class D)
• Annotation: [structural — no semantic inference]

Definition: The zone label for extrapolating or applying benchmark results beyond the declared scope (scale range or regime) without validated lineage. Zone X = OVERSCALE is unconditionally illegal within RTT/Inside/Benchmarks. A measurement produced in Zone X is a projection, not a measurement — it cannot be included in a valid benchmark record.

DRIFT_GATE connection: Zone = X is one of the three DRIFT_GATE trigger conditions. Entering Zone X immediately fires the hard interrupt.

Resolution: Zone X can only be resolved by Guard (Class G). The path forward is not to extend the current capture — it is to declare a new scope, establish new lineage, and open a new CAPTURE_TEMPLATE.

Constraint: There is no legitimate measurement in Zone X. The label exists to make extrapolation machine-readable and auditable.

Inheritance: [native — Benchmarks]

Cross-reference: Guard, DRIFT_GATE, scope, CAPTURE_TEMPLATE, DDet

Disambiguation: Zone X labels are module-specific. Zone X = OVERSCALE in RTT/Inside/Benchmarks is not the same construct as Zone X in RTT/3, RTT/12, or any other module. The "illegal zone" pattern is universal; the specific illegal condition is always module-local.
