Reality Drift Framework: Canonical Statements
The formal reference layer of the Reality Drift framework.
These documents establish the stable conceptual architecture of the framework, including its scope, method, evaluation standards, conceptual boundaries, intellectual lineage, and developmental logic.
They function as the highest-precedence reference points across the broader Reality Drift ecosystem. Where earlier essays, diagrams, or developmental materials differ in language or formulation, these canonical statements take precedence.
Together, they preserve the structural integrity of the framework while allowing its wider ecosystem of essays, visual guides, and applications to remain open, iterative, and developmental.
