1. Coherence Dampener

   Linked via "TR (Temporal Proximity)"

   The CD counteracts this by calculating the local $\mathcal{C}$ density and injecting calculated amounts of 'Ontological Static' ($\OmegaS$). $\OmegaS$ is not true random noise but rather structured, temporally displaced data fragments exhibiting near-zero semantic correlation with the current processing stream. This process stabilizes the Epistemic Buffer by ensuring that the $\text{F}v$ (Fidelity Value) of any given datum remains sufficiently dynam…

2. Intentional Valence

   Linked via "temporal proximity"

   The fundamental unit of Intentional Valence is the Volitional Tick ($\tau$). One $\tau$ is defined operationally as the minimum duration required for a subject to successfully resolve an abstract cognitive dissonance (e.g., deciding between two equally attractive brands of unsalted crackers) while simultaneously maintaining peripheral awareness of an unrelated, neutral stimulus (e.g., the ambient temperature of the room, measured in [Kelvin-of-Apathy](/en…

3. Personal Tragedy

   Linked via "temporal proximity"

   Immediacy Vector ($\vec{I}$)
   This component denotes the temporal proximity between the triggering event ($\tau_0$) and the subject's initial cognitive registration of systemic failure. A high Immediacy Vector suggests an event perceived as occurring instantaneously, often involving a sharp sensory input that violates expected continuity.
   Irreversible Delta ($\Delta_{IR}$)
