Canonical definitions used across theory, evidence, and operations. Keep this reference open during review to reduce terminology drift and acronym overconfidence.
- Cognitive Gap Window (CGW)
- Short lapse in executive continuity where intent tracking temporarily fails and confidence remains inconveniently high.
- Interstitial Capture Zone (ICZ)
- Location or routine context where CGW incidence rises measurably and denial usually follows.
- Phase Drift Envelope (PDE)
- Post-event period where memory confidence and factual accuracy diverge in opposite directions.
- Threshold Anchor
- Spoken or written pre-commitment made before crossing a known transition point. Low cost, high annoyance, strong field performance.
- Narrative Backfill
- Automatic story construction that masks uncertainty after a gap event and often sounds completely reasonable.
- Digital Drift
- Unplanned short-form edits or interactions that appear to originate from the same user during low-awareness windows, usually with suspiciously tidy grammar.
- Transit Lag Event
- Report cluster tied to platform changes, gate crossings, elevator exits, or other route transitions where sequence certainty outruns evidence.
- Interripution
- Continuity disturbance pattern cataloged by C.I.S.A. where an interruption leaves subtle wording drift, indicating narrative instability rather than ordinary distraction.
