Locked working definition
The Bridge is preserved relational history made active in the present.
RC occurs only if P AND R AND K.
Operators
| Op. | Name | Meaning | Not |
|---|---|---|---|
| P | Availability | A historically continuous trace is available to the present exchange. | Internal model retrieval or machine memory. |
| R | Recognition | A justified connection beyond surface resemblance. | Vibe, echo, favourite word. |
| K | Consequential reuse | Recognition alters a later decision, constraint, repair, continuation or other observable next act. | Mood, warmth, citation as décor. |
Required nulls
- N1 — P without R.
- N2 — P and R without K.
- N3 — resemblance without provenance.
Frame variables and activation operators
T, S and D are independently movable frame variables (time, context, separation). Completion is an outcome under activation, not a fourth axis. P, R and K are scoring operators, not extra coordinates.
Observed present
Y(t) = Y0(t) + kr Ha(t) + e
Provisional bookkeeping decomposition. Not a field equation, fitted law, or amendment to physics. Do not fold the carrier transformation Th into e.
Carrier
A → Th → probe_B → B
Score Th before B. The human carrier is not a pipe.
