Bridges (Tier 1.5)
Bridge documents provide conservative, one-way correspondences from Paradox Engine (Tier 1 abstractions) to measurable Tier 2 observables. They are intentionally limited: they do not derive Hamiltonians or compute eigenvalues. They map conceptual operators to physical quantities so experimentalists can design tests and engineers can implement prototypes.
Available bridges
- Mechanical Bridge — Discrete mechanical lattices, phonons, and PE operator correspondences.
- Quantum Bridge — Canonical mapping for quantum observables.
- Thermogravity Bridge — Mapping for gravitational and entropic effects.
- Biological Bridge — Explanatory mapping for biological systems.
- Chemistry Bridge — Mapping for effects that arise from chemical reactions.
Usage notes
- Bridges are prescriptive in language: they define permitted vs forbidden phrasing in downstream claims.
- Use bridges to determine which experimental signatures are PE-informative and which require conventional physics to quantify.
