C.26.1:9 - Consequences
This pattern makes boundary decisions more honest. It turns “the workshop showed the split” into “the workshop both showed and changed the split-relevant state.” It turns “the dashboard says ready” into “the dashboard is probe-coupled evidence with a limited decision use.”
The cost is that some familiar artifacts lose false authority. Dashboards, workshops, surveys, API reads, and messages remain useful, but their outputs no longer support a neutral-window reading when the interaction materially changes the represented state.
