Context
The model separates persistent archive data from controller state and compares prefixes by every possible future observation.
Definitions
- Temporal composition is (x;y=yx), so a causal prefix is the inner factor in the raw semidirect product.
- The future row is .
- The factor order is when some continuation (y) satisfies ([d;y]=[v]).
Proof or evidence
The definition is instantiated explicitly for every finite carrier size and supports the exact row-count and five-site nonexistence theorem.
Verification notes
Temporal order, orbit completion, future-row equality, temporal units, and the distinction between semantic factors and typed epimorphisms were rechecked against the proof record and executable model.
Limitations
- This is a finite Boolean incidence carrier, not an interval-folding or physical material model.
- No category of legal typed physical updates or epimorphism class is included.
Notes
This is a finite Boolean incidence carrier, not interval WFL/THFL or restricted D30. No category of legal typed physical updates or epi class is part of the definition, so its semantic factors must not be called epis. The archive mask is persistent substrate history, not controller state.
