History, Story, and Witness: The Semantic Threshold v0.1

Current statement

FRC distinguishes a recorded history from its story and from a system's response. This paper defines a history space, a narrative map, and a context-indexed witness-response map. A noninjective narrative does not reconstruct its history, while one history can support several narratives when the map or context changes. Integration, monitoring, reportability, reflective witness, and subjective consciousness remain separate. A claim that a story changes a physical trajectory must identify a causal carrier and comparison protocol. The result governs the μ5–μ6 threshold without treating meaning as unreal or automatically causal.
