Validity and Context Primitives

This document defines primitives related to meaning and applicability.

Primitive: Context#

External conditions relevant to an autonomous form’s operation.

Context is not fully representable and need not be exhaustively modeled.

A condition in which internal state and operation remain meaningful within a given regime and context.

Validity is situational, not absolute.

A detectable divergence between internal state, context, and regime.

Misalignment signals the need for transition, not termination.

The preservation of meaningful operation across state or regime changes.

Continuity does not require sameness, only coherence.
