Explore broadly. Challenge independently. Preserve the disagreement.

Dual-State separates candidate-making from provenance, contradiction, consequence, continuity, and failure-history review.

Two evidence contracts

Explores possibilities, relationships, alternatives, and candidate meaning.

Tests provenance, contradictions, consequences, missing evidence, continuity, and failure history.

Combining proposal and challenge too early encourages false consensus. Keeping them distinct makes disagreement attributable and reviewable.

Outputs remain candidate evidence. Dual-State does not claim that two models discover truth, become persons, or acquire authority by agreeing.
