A signal opens a question
A Signal may suggest that an opportunity, change, or connection deserves examination. It is not a billable entity or permission to write a conclusion into the canonical economic world. Its role is to direct investigation; admitted evidence and domain rules determine what can be asserted next.
Facts and interpretations need different trails
A FAXT preserves which subject, predicate, and value are supported, together with references, authority, provenance, and temporal context. An INXIGHT combines or interprets such inputs and should explain its dependencies, retained uncertainty, and how it changes if its foundations become stale. An interpretation therefore cannot silently replace its support.
Investigation does not automatically make a signal true
A signal directs attention to a question; investigation may gather sources, resolve subjects, and check states. Each step keeps its own meaning. AXENT investigating a signal, or an evaluator structuring an interpretation, does not authorize model output to become a canonical fact. Evidence admission and domain rules remain necessary for factual claims.
Derived understanding should remain reviewable
An INXIGHT should make its supporting inputs, their dates, and the uncertainty that survives composition inspectable. If a material source changes or becomes stale, the interpretation may need reevaluation. Showing these dependencies helps distinguish what was directly observed from a conclusion connecting several inputs, and prevents an explanation from sounding stronger than its foundations.
Conceptual example
Hypothetical example: a public announcement about a plant opening may create a Signal to investigate. After assessing source, subject, and timing, an evidence-backed fact might describe that the company announced the opening. A later INXIGHT could connect that declared capability to a market; the interpretation would still not prove sales in that market.
Scope and limits
This vocabulary describes the product model; it does not certify that every sensor, process, or screen is implemented. A news item does not automatically confirm what it announces, and a reasonable inference does not become a fact because it is stated confidently.
