A Calibrated Test of Internal Action Maps: State Signals Without Global Affine Closure
Excerpt
arXiv:2608.13626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A hidden state signal can be decodable or causally usable without supporting a reusable action map. We test whether action maps fitted without a source reach its natural post-action activation and compose. We organize the tests as an evidence lattice and validate the geometric branch on a known affine S_5 carrier: all held-source folds pass one-step, composition, inverse, decoding, and commutativity gates. Structured curvature and held-domain conju
