Engineering interpretation
Lattice
A relational organization of attributable records and state.
Witness
Evidence that a source observation entered the system under a known contract.
Relation
Typed dependence, similarity, contradiction, sequence, or consequence.
Pressure
A measurable signal of conflict, uncertainty, or constrained alternatives—not a mystical force.
Possibility
Candidate futures retained without being promoted to fact.
Negative evidence
Absence, failure, contradiction, and blocked tests remain first-class results.
Success and falsification
QWR succeeds only if its structures measurably improve continuity, explanation, calibration, or governance against simpler controls. If they do not, the framework should be simplified or rejected.
