Glossary term

Interpretation discipline keeps claims tied to evidence instead of intuition.

Why It Matters

People see patterns that are not there. Interpretation discipline forces claims to survive historical evidence.

How Stepzero Uses It

Oracle and reports let users test statements like "this number is heating up" against complete historical windows.

Example

If you believe 5x droughts collapse quickly, Stepzero can show every drought that did not.

Oracle Query Starters

  • Test whether 5x droughts collapse quickly in AZ-FANTASY5.
  • Show me historical behavior for deep droughts in AZ-FANTASY5.
  • Does positional drift persist across eras for AZ-FANTASY5?
