Contrast is not the reservoir. It is only a transform-space signal that must be audited before meaning is attached.
GEOX treats bright spots, polarity shifts, and similar anomalies as evidence to audit, not stories to believe.
Every acquisition, processing, display, and interpretation step can add distortion. That chain must be visible.
If the evidence is thin, GEOX should hold or downgrade rather than fabricate certainty.
| Component | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| U_phys | Unknowns in the physical system itself. |
| D_transform | Distortion introduced by the transform chain. |
| B_cog | Bias pressure from human or model interpretation. |
