Chiral Narrative Synthesis (CNS): A framework for grounded dialectical synthesis over structured narrative objects.
CNS 8.0: The version that restores SNO-centered dialectical synthesis and adds proof-grounded orthesis, predicate invention, access-aware uncertainty, and multiverse reporting.
Structured Narrative Object (SNO): A claim/relation/evidence/proof graph representing a narrative account with provenance and metadata.
SNO-8: CNS 8.0’s proof-carrying SNO object model.
Chirality: Structured asymmetry between narrative objects or between language and logic after round-trip grounding/rendering.
Evidential Entanglement: Weighted overlap of evidence used by two opposing SNOs.
Productive Conflict Score: Pair-selection score combining chirality and evidential entanglement.
Antagonist: Agent that stress-tests SNOs and identifies contradictions, access gaps, topology issues, and synthesis opportunities.
Synthesizer: Agent that builds a new SNO from selected conflicting SNOs under proof and evidence constraints.
Orthesis: A stable synthesis candidate satisfying proof, grounding, residual, topology, and round-trip criteria.
Grounding: Mapping from language/evidence into logic/proof structures.
Language–logic bundle: Formal view in which language states have fibers of admissible logical interpretations.
Holonomy residual: Change induced by transporting an SNO through a dialectical loop.
Tensor proof closure: Rule-based derivation over evidence-linked tensors, with proof traces.
Zero-temperature rule: Strict deterministic rule used for proof promotion.
Soft rule: Analogical or probabilistic rule used for hypothesis generation, not strict promotion.
ZTHR: Zero-Temperature Hallucination Rate; strict promoted claims without valid proof trace.
Predicate invention: Discovery of latent context predicates from residual contradiction tensors.
Residual tensor: Tensor encoding unresolved support/refute contradiction mass.
Latent context predicate: A proposed hidden variable such as time, subgroup, source frame, mechanism, definition, or measurement method.
Record-access state: Metadata describing whether relevant evidence is available, withheld, sealed, destroyed, unknown, etc.
Multiverse view: Ranked possible structured states under uncertainty.
Runtime oracle: Hidden truth labels or answer keys used during deployment. Forbidden.
Training oracle: Labels or expert judgments used offline for training/calibration/evaluation. Allowed with disclosure.
Strict claim: Claim promoted by valid evidence and proof trace.
Likely claim: Claim supported probabilistically but not by strict proof closure.
Hypothesis: Claim proposed for testing.
Unresolved claim: Claim not settled due to evidence, access, or residual contradiction.
Rejected claim: Claim failing grounding, proof, or schema gates.
