Relational Relocation

A Traveler with a fixed position and a tracked identity vector. Its relations to the Origin neighbourhood are released and relations to the Destination neighbourhood are formed. Nothing crosses the screen; the links change instead.

AT-0021 inputs

Relational address · Traveler

Similarity is read from the Traveler's relational address R_T = (r_T1 … r_TN) against each neighbourhood. Address distance is −ln of that similarity, in the same units as effective separation.

PASSNumerical stability

NOT MODELEDCausality / signalling

AT-0 has no time coordinate, no Lorentzian structure and no light cones. Causal behaviour cannot be evaluated until AT-4.

NOT MODELEDEnergy conditions

No stress-energy tensor is defined in this model. Energy-condition analysis begins at AT-5.

NOT MODELEDGeometric reconstruction

Whether these graph distances embed into a recognisable manifold is untested until AT-3.

NOT MODELEDPhysical correspondence

No mapping from relational couplings to measurable physical quantities exists. Graph-distance reduction is not physical distance reduction.

PASSIdentity preservation

ΔI = 0.1077 against tolerance 0.350 under the stipulated identity-strain model.

NOT MODELEDPhysical relocation correspondence

Changing a node's relational address in a graph has no established correspondence to relocating a physical object. None is claimed.

  • The Traveler's layout coordinates are identical before and after. Only its relational address changed.

AT-0022 · Minimum relocation cost

Cheapest admissible transformation

A deterministic grid over anchor count, anchor strength and release fraction. A row is admissible only if it reaches the destination-similarity target and stays inside the identity tolerance.

min C_A   s.t.   sim_dest ≥ σ   and   ΔI ≤ τ
Minimise adjacency cost subject to both constraints.

AT-0023 · Continuity challenge

Did the modelled transition use intermediate relational states?

Unaffiliated states

Used intermediates

yes

The accepted transformation passed through 2 intermediate relational states between the initial and final destination similarity. In this model the transition is not a single discrete jump.

Step count alone cannot decide continuity: under L1 endpoint cost a monotonic multi-step path costs exactly the same as the direct one-step transformation. See the direct-vs-multistep benchmark, adjacency debt and the analytic AT-0022 bound.
