Six Systemic Laws for Safe Contradiction-Aware Reasoning

Compression-Aware Intelligence (CAI) links hallucination to representational conflict under semantic-equivalence rephrasing and defines compression strain as the measurable signal of that conflict. These six engineering laws define the minimum viable scaffolding for safe, contradiction-aware reasoning in AGI systems. They formalize key mechanisms behind hallucination, identity fracture, arbitration, and abstention, building directly on the foundation of Compression-Aware Intelligence (CAI). This doc is a companion to the original Compression Laws and introduces a structural approach to contradiction detection, epistemic tension, and safe reasoning.
