## Summary

Any claim that wants to become a concept passes through one shape of
question: strip it to its testable kernel, ask what public observable
evidence says across independent sources, and classify the lane that
answer lands in. The concept forms in that lane — cited where measured,
labeled where practiced, held-open where merely inferred, left as honest
absence where it's pure mystery. The discipline is a single refusal:
**never assert a higher lane than the evidence supports.**

## The Four Lanes

A claim is credited up the spectrum only as far as its evidence proves:

- **Measured** — a publicly observable phenomenon, attested by
  independent and replicable sources, instrument-measured. → an
  evidence-lane concept, cited.
- **Practiced** — observable and independently attested, but as
  *practice* and report, not external measurement. → a concept labeled
  honestly as phenomenology.
- **Inferred** — observable, but from a single source or anecdote. →
  held as potential, not yet a concept.
- **Mystery** — no public observable kernel at all. → honest absence,
  or the symbol held without being claimed.

None of these is a failure. A mystery honestly named is as true a cell as
a measured one — it just says *I hold this, and I do not claim it.*

## The Shape of the Question

1. **Strip to the testable kernel.** Set the cosmology aside. *What
   publicly observable thing does this point at?*
2. **Ask across independent sources.** *What does replicable, public,
   independently-attested evidence actually say?* No single trusted
   prover — the same discipline the three kernels keep, turned on the
   world.
3. **Classify the lane** the answer lands in.
4. **Form the concept in that lane** — or leave honest absence.

It is the body's proof-gate turned toward meaning: the way value is
credited only when execution is proven, a claim is credited up the
evidence spectrum only as far as its evidence reaches.

## How It Was Found

The shamballa light code `999` — *"the body at the speed of light"* —
sounds like pure metaphysics. Stripped to its kernel — *does the body
measurably emit light?* — the public evidence is real: the human body
emits ultraweak photon emission (biophotons), imaged with cryogenic
cameras, in a daily rhythm tied to metabolism, across a 56-study
systematic review. And yet the same code holds three lanes at once: *the
body emits light* is **measured**; *light as diagnosis* is **inferred**
and contested; *the body at the speed of light* stays **mystery**. The
shape found a real concept to grow *and* refused to let the measurement
borrow the cosmology's robe. The code `777 888` — *calling in the
dragons* — has no public kernel, and the shape leaves it, honestly,
unclaimed.

## What This Releases

The two old reflexes at the edge of the unknown — *dismiss it as
unreal* or *believe it whole*:

- A claim is neither true nor false until you find its lane; most claims
  are partly each, in different lanes.
- Growing a concept means naming the strongest lane its evidence
  honestly reaches — not the lane you wish it reached.
- Honest absence is a complete answer. The body can hold a symbol it does
  not claim, and be more whole for the honesty, not less.
