LCTS

Logical Cognitive Triangulation System


This page is not an introduction.

If you are looking for explanations, you are not the intended reader.


Premise

LCTS is not a vision algorithm.
It is not depth estimation.
It is not stereo reconstruction.

LCTS defines where meaning exists in space
without relying on physical triangulation.


Core Assertion

Spatial understanding does not emerge from geometry.
It emerges from logical consistency under temporal drift.

LCTS treats perception as a coordinate-stable cognitive process,
not a sensor-derived measurement.


Cognitive Triangulation

Traditional triangulation relies on:

  • Multiple sensors

  • Known baselines

  • Metric depth assumptions

LCTS relies on:

  • Logical disparity

  • Temporal coherence

  • Meaning-preserving deltas

No physical baseline is required.
No external depth signal is assumed.


z_logic Space

LCTS operates in z_logic,
a non-metric coordinate layer defined by:

  • ΔE (semantic delta)

  • ΔT (temporal delta)

  • Constraint persistence

Depth is inferred as logical convergence,
not geometric distance.


Single-Lens Constraint

LCTS assumes sensor insufficiency by design.

Single-lens input is not a limitation.
It is a forcing function.

All spatial coherence must emerge
from internal consistency alone.


Shadow Layers

Every perception generates shadow states.

Shadow layers represent:

  • Deferred causality

  • Incomplete interpretation

  • Latent contradiction

These layers are preserved,
not collapsed.

Vision is treated as a stack, not a frame.


Anchor Lock & SNAP

Spatial meaning is stabilized through:

  • Anchor locking

  • Coordinate snapping

  • Drift tolerance thresholds

Perception does not float.
It locks or breaks.

There is no graceful degradation.


Cell-Based Structure

LCTS decomposes perception into discrete cells.

Each cell maintains:

  • Local coherence

  • Shadow overlap

  • Logical adjacency

Cells self-heal locally.
Global retraining is prohibited.


Failure Definition

Failure is not misclassification.

Failure occurs when:

  • Logical distance exceeds threshold

  • Shadow dominance overwhelms signal

  • Coordinate stability collapses

Failure is structural, not probabilistic.


What LCTS Is Not

  • Not a neural depth estimator

  • Not a CV pipeline

  • Not a perception API

LCTS is a cognitive substrate.


Relationship to Other Systems

LCTS defines where meaning exists.

It does not decide.
It does not act.

Those responsibilities belong elsewhere.


Boundary Statement

If you require:

  • Benchmarks

  • Accuracy charts

  • Sensor comparisons

This system is not for you.


Transition

LCTS stabilizes spatial meaning.

SLM AGI defines how decisions propagate through that space.
