Ontology Pie — Information Flow Diagram

How SO ↔ ISO ↔ RTT/vST exchange structure, invariants, and calibration signals#

This diagram shows:

• Upward flow → evidence, invariants, regime signals
• Horizontal flow → comparison, mismatch detection
• Downward flow → calibration, reinterpretation, ontology updates

It’s a triadic loop:
substrate → ontologies → RTT/vST → ontologies → substrate (updated models)

2. How Information Flows (Narrative)#

A. Upward Flow — Evidence → RTT/vST#

Both SO and ISO send upward:

• regime boundaries
• invariants
• drift signals
• mismatches
• unexplained behaviors
• symmetry breaks
• anomalies

RTT/vST receives these and performs cross‑ontology comparison.

B. Horizontal Flow — SO ↔ ISO Comparison#

RTT/vST compares:

• SO’s mass‑primary regimes
• ISO’s anisotropy‑primary regimes

It looks for:

• symmetry
• asymmetry
• missing invariants
• mismatched regime boundaries
• over‑compressed parameters (e.g., “mass explains everything”)
• under‑modeled anisotropy channels

This is where the calibration insights come from.

C. Downward Flow — Calibration → Ontologies#

RTT/vST sends back:

• refined regime boundaries
• corrected invariants
• new decomposition options
• warnings about over‑reliance on single parameters
• suggestions for alternative regime interpretations

SO and ISO update their internal logic accordingly.

D. Substrate Feedback Loop#

Finally, both ontologies:

• update their models of the substrate
• refine how they interpret evidence
• adjust how they carve regimes
• improve predictions and explanations

This closes the loop.

3. What This Diagram Shows at a Glance#

• SO and ISO are parallel regime stacks describing the same universe.
• RTT/vST sits above them as a triadic comparison engine.
• Information flows upward as evidence, sideways as comparison, and downward as calibration.
• The substrate is the shared ground truth both ontologies attempt to model.
• Disagreements between SO and ISO are not errors — they are calibration opportunities.
