All systems drift.
Not immediately, not visibly - but inevitably.
Given enough time, signals decay. Interfaces diverge. Assumptions break quietly.
What begins as structure becomes approximation. What begins as truth becomes interpretation.
This is not failure. It is the default state.
Most software does not account for this. It executes, but it does not verify. It responds, but it does not question.
So drift accumulates.
And eventually, the system is no longer aligned with reality - only with its last known version of it.
Order is not a property of systems. It is something imposed, continuously.
It requires:
- validation
- correction
- enforcement
Not once, but always.
We are interested in that layer.
The one that observes, compares, and decides: what is still true, and what is not.
Not to control systems- but to keep them from silently becoming something else.
