Statement

The formal core's counterfactual structure is calibrated to a stated referent, with the rules for the structure derived from that calibration, by at least one of: policy-responsiveness as the criterion; the clean-source correction separating prediction from logical dependence; a learnable grade of non-responsiveness.
