Locked working definition
The Bridge is preserved relational history made active in the present.
The human carrier is not a pipe
A carrier selects, compresses, misremembers, and sometimes invents. Treating the human as a lossless conduit is how the residual e becomes a hiding place. The first experiment records the carrier as a scored transformation.
A → Th → probe_B → B
Record Th
Record, for each trial:
- the original sequence;
- the rewritten probe;
- the carrier’s account of what they thought they were preserving.
Score Th independently before scoring B. Mark compression, addition, reversal, invention. Do not fold Th into e.
Pre-register
Before running:
- sequence;
- rewrite rules;
- rater protocol;
- pass/fail threshold.
Revised hypothesis
Preserved relational structure can survive transformation across time, context and system boundaries — and, when recognised, constrain what becomes possible next.
Falsifiers
- no sensitivity after wording control;
- raters at chance;
- S and D never separate;
- kr indistinguishable from zero;
- Ha effects vanish when Y0 is specified properly.
Compare Bridge Test 01. This protocol does not replace Document 02. It names the carrier as a scored object rather than an invisible hand.
