External Legibility
Definition
External legibility is the condition under which unresolved structural asymmetry becomes expressible at an external representational surface.
Within LMR, external legibility is not observation, measurement collapse, field emission, or physical interaction. It is the codex-governed expression of structure through projection.
Tier Placement
Primary tier: Tier 1
Role: Projection grammar
External legibility belongs to the electromagnetic projection layer of Arc 1.
It is read as a structural relation, not as a dynamical or observational mechanism.
Source
Primary source: Paper IV — Electromagnetic Routing and Projection
Authority level: Foundational
Paper IV establishes the projection grammar through which unresolved structural asymmetry becomes externally legible.
Function in LMR
External legibility identifies when a structural condition becomes expressible beyond its internal configuration.
It functions in:
- projection
- electromagnetic routing
- X corridor interpretation
- q′ interpretation
- distinction between unresolved structure and projected signature
- preservation of Tier 1 discipline
External legibility allows LMR to discuss projected signatures without introducing electromagnetic dynamics.
Allowed Use
External legibility may be used to describe Tier 1 projection of unresolved structural asymmetry.
It may be used with X and q′ when the relation remains structural rather than dynamical.
Prohibited Misuse
External legibility must not be treated as:
- sensory observation
- measurement collapse
- field emission
- radiation
- force interaction
- causal transmission
- particle exchange
- standard electromagnetic detectability
It must not be used to replace the projection grammar established in Paper IV.
