Reality already carries order.

Reality Mechanics does not invent structure. It observes structural relations already carried in reality — and keeps every observation retraceable to its source.

Why the discipline works.

Relation holds.
Order carries.
Trace places.
Working Postulate v0.6 — versioned, answerable to the Atlas, corrected by failure. Not a doctrine.

This is the ordinary-language test of whether a term has entered order: things relate; relation holds where it can remain available; order carries where what holds can continue; trace places where what carries can be followed back.

The standard every claim answers to

Every accepted claim should be independently reviewable.
Every accepted decision should be independently retraceable.
Constitution — constitutional aim.

How the surfaces demonstrate it

ObservatoryStructure made visible — terms as places, relations as strands, order as depth. PulseBehaviour through time — strain, threshold, correction. ProofThe retrace pathway — accepted, candidate, unresolved, with evidence. CalculusThe derivation surface — what is derived, calibrated, heuristic, and still unresolved.

Theory explains; it is not duplicated here. Each surface reads the same repository record.

Canonical documents

Theory — canonical discipline explanation in the Atlas.
Mission — purpose and compass.
Constitution — governing constraints.
Runtime principles — what the live runtime already implies.

Governance and practice

Commissions register — resolved programme work.

Calculus

Laboratory notebook · unpromoted

Practice calculus — candidate operational read. Precision without decoration.

Two ways in

Observing

Observe → Theory → Proof → Calculus → Repository

Begin in the Observatory and watch the structure before reading about it. Theory explains why the discipline works, Proof retraces the evidence, and Calculus shows what is derived — and what is not.

AI participation

MCP → Atlas → Runtime contracts → Programme index → Repository

The MCP is the read-only doorway for AI workers: the same canonical structure, served as traversal tools instead of pages. It exists so AI participants read structure rather than infer it. No write tools are exposed.

Begin with begin_atlas_session, then get_public_surfaces. Orientation: programme index · AI participation.

One record, one path: this site reads from GitHub, where the Atlas is canonical, reports preserve the evidence, and runtime contracts govern what the instruments may claim. Every public claim retraces along that path.
