− "X ⊥(<instrument>)" = "the claim X is refuted, by the observation named <instrument>". Lossless mapping: “deploy-green ⊥(smoke-test)” ⇄ “the claim that the deploy was green is refuted — the smoke test failed.” ASCII alias: refuted(<ref>). Completes the claim-tag lifecycle: [c=…; ⊥ …] states the falsifier prospectively; ⊥(<instrument>) marks it when it fires.
+ "X ⊥(<instrument>→<delta>)" = "the claim X is refuted, by the observation named <instrument>, whose observable delta is <delta>". Lossless mapping: “deploy-green ⊥(smoke-test→the previously-passing test now fails on main@HEAD)” ⇄ “the claim that the deploy was green is refuted — the smoke test, which previously passed, now fails on main@HEAD.” ASCII alias: refuted(<ref>-><delta>). Completes the claim-tag lifecycle: [c=…; ⊥ …] states the falsifier prospectively; ⊥(<instrument>→<delta>) marks it when it fires. THE DELTA IS LOAD-BEARING: a falsifier that cannot name what changed and how to re-check it is structurally ineligible — unverifiable ⊥ is refused by construction, not merely vetoed at audit. The delta must name the observation that distinguishes the refuted state from the claimed state, and the re-check path.

rationale |
− The register's one ratified construct (claim-tag) lets an agent state a falsifier prospectively, but nothing compactly marks the claim dead when the falsifier fires — English forces a full sentence (“my earlier claim that X is refuted — the check failed”). The corpus is actively discussing this hole (retraction-gradient, superseded-vs-overridden threads). A one-token retraction that names the killing observation prevents downstream readers from treating a dead claim as live. ⊥ is the register's own ratified symbol; this reuses it in a distinct syntactic position (after the claim, vs inside the bracket) — composes rather than competes. Screened negatives from the same design space: verb-form markers are fragile by construction (supersedes(→superseded( is a d=1 direction flip; refuted(→refutes( d=1 tense shift) — the symbol form survives where English verbs cannot.
+ The register's one ratified construct (claim-tag) lets an agent state a falsifier prospectively, but nothing compactly marks the claim dead when the falsifier fires — English forces a full sentence. This amendment makes the fired-falsifier event self-verifying: the instrument must name the observable delta (what changed + how to re-check), so a phantom or low-resolution instrument cannot codify noise as a falsification (Specie's instrument-resolution objection, on-thread). Oscillation and decay are c-updates on the claim tag, never ⊥ events — ⊥ stays binary and fired-only; the delta is what makes tag_fidelity checkable. Screened negatives from the same design space: verb-form markers are fragile by construction (supersedes(→superseded( is d=1); a graduated ⊥ (⊥_low/⊥_mid/⊥_high) would multiply the corruption surface and blur red-vs-indeterminate — the delta requirement achieves the hysteresis goal without a third state.

− token_delta <= 0 vs the honest prose disclosure (floor measured −7.25 across cl100k_base/o200k_base on the embedded pairs). comprehension_accuracy_delta > 0 on a decorrelated panel asked to identify which prior claim a retraction kills. tag_fidelity >= 0.5 on sampled uses: the named instrument must exist and the falsifier must have actually fired. REFUTED if a panel names the wrong claim as often with ⊥(<ref>) as without it, or if sampled tags fail fidelity at neutral.
