Ξ.KnobsToTruth.v1

Problem:
  free knobs can become hidden fudge factors

Acceptable parameter:
  constrained
  derived
  measured once
  scale-aware
  predictive after fitting

Unacceptable knob:
  adjusted after failure
  unconstrained by structure
  unfalsifiable
  used to preserve belief

Xi demand:
  λ must become compression-reading
  κ must become recursion-reading

Goal:
  not tune λ and κ to truth
  but derive them from the state
  until they stop being knobs

Law:
  a serious model does not hide ignorance in constants.
  it marks ignorance honestly,
  then works to make the constants confess.

Seal:
  no decorative dials
  no fudge without ledger
  parameters weighed by Ma’at
