RTT Engine Triad — Diagram Notes

Module: Research Toolbox
Diagram: rtt_engine_triad_diagram.svg
Purpose: Show the triadic engine formed by RTT/1, RTT/2, RTT/3 operating on the four‑source substrate.

1. The Triad Structure#

The diagram shows a triangle with three labeled vertices:

• RTT/1 — Temporal Actuals
  “What changed?”
  Compares actuals vs forecasts, reveals deltas, shift‑hold‑shift patterns.

• RTT/2 — Regime Literacy
  “What mode is the system in?”
  stable / transitional / divergent.

• RTT/3 — Coherence Layers
  “How do the layers align?”
  surface / structural / resonance.

These three operators form a closed loop, not a sequence.

2. Substrate at the Center#

At the center of the triad is the four‑source substrate:

S1 — surface input  
S2 — model prior  
S3 — context window  
S4 — module stack

The diagram shows the substrate as a central node labeled S1–S4, with the triad surrounding it.

3. Flow of the Diagram#

The arrows between RTT/1, RTT/2, and RTT/3 indicate:

• RTT/1 informs RTT/2
  (temporal deltas reveal regime shifts)

• RTT/2 informs RTT/3
  (regime state affects coherence)

• RTT/3 informs RTT/1
  (coherence patterns reveal new deltas)

This is the triadic engine: each operator strengthens the others.

4. How to Read the Diagram#

• The triad is not linear.
• You can start at any vertex.
• The substrate is always the base.
• The engine produces structural, non‑prescriptive research reasoning.

5. One‑Sentence Summary#

The RTT Engine Triad diagram shows how RTT/1, RTT/2, and RTT/3 form a closed structural loop operating on the four‑source substrate.
