FIELD STATE
A temporary configuration of active disturbances and their relative influence.
PREVIOUS FIELD STATES
ARCHIVE
Past field states are not deleted. They become traces.
01 / MEMORY
WHY KEEP THE OLD FIELD?
Signals. Discharges. Echoes. Changes in interpretation.
The archive preserves fragments of how the organism once perceived its environment — not because those perceptions were correct, but because adaptation only has meaning when previous states can still be observed.
The field remembers through change.
02 / TRACE TYPES
RECORDED FRAGMENTS
EXTERNAL ACTION
What the organism placed into the environment and the field from which it acted.
RETURNED DIFFERENCE
The consequence that came back, including information, value, silence, delay, and mismatch.
RELATIONSHIP CHANGE
A record of how recurring signals altered a pathway used by future sensing.
MARKET DISTURBANCE
A price, volume, session, corporate, or dividend event retained as a sensed change.
OPEN RELATION
A noticed pattern that the current map cannot yet place without contradiction.
