Iₜ = C( Σ(Eₜ) ± Δₜ )

Three terms: the synthesis of evidence, the intent you add or resist, the constancy that holds them in time.

SUPERELLIPSEA superellipse family — the exponent is the constancy term C, rounding the same corners tighter or looser.

The identity equation. Σ(E) is the synthesis of what is — evidence, weighted. Δ is the intentional nudge you add, or the impulse you resist. C is the constancy that holds them in coherent relation across time. Three terms. Irreducible. Less than three doesn’t hold.

Σ(E), made operational. Signal quality climbs 20 → 60 → 95% as emotion is weighted into the synthesis; the four pillars are the regulator, built.

First sketch of I = C(Σ(E) ± Δ).

drift: Might be too tidy to be true.

Reconciled the notation with belief-over-equals so they read as one object.

Settled on three irreducible terms; resisted adding a fourth.

drift: Is C really separable from Σ, or am I double-counting?
