UPC Semantic Integrity Layer

The UPC Semantic Integrity Layer defines the foundational architecture through which the Universal Principle of Collapse (UPC) becomes operational. It formalizes how raw inputs, symbolic structures, and observer‑dependent interpretations are transformed into traceable collapse events. Rather than prescribing meaning, the Semantic Integrity Layer establishes the rules and boundaries that ensure meaning‑assignment remains explicit, auditable, and internally coherent. It introduces a structured pipeline, encompassing input normalization, semantic framing, observer anchoring, and collapse registration, that allows UPC processes to be logged, inspected, and reproduced with methodological rigor. This document serves as the core specification for all higher‑level UPC tools, including the validator, logging module, visualization system, and SDK. By separating conceptual integrity from interpretive logic, the Semantic Integrity Layer provides a stable substrate upon which future semantic rules, multi‑observer dynamics, and divergence metrics can be implemented without architectural redesign.
