Motivation¶

What is this?¶

The SE Regime Explorer is an interactive decision tree for classifying objects into Structural Explainability identity and persistence regime profiles.

It takes someone from "I have an object and a transformation" to a regime assignment by asking questions about the object's character without needing to read the underlying theory first.

Why does classification matter?¶

The nine regime profiles define the conditions under which identity and persistence can be evaluated without embedding causal or normative interpretation. Knowing which regime an object belongs to tells you:

• what must be preserved for identity to hold
• what transformation would break identity
• how the object responds to branching, decomposition, and normative reorganization

Why a decision tree?¶

The tree provides an independent derivation path. Someone who hasn't read the formal papers can classify an object, arrive at a regime, read the persistence invariant and break condition, and check whether they agree.

If they arrive at a different answer than the registry, that is a falsification candidate and a genuine stress test of the theory.

Relationship to se-regimes¶

The explorer reads regime data from se-regimes, the executable regime kernel. The decision tree logic is independent of the kernel. It derives regime assignments from first principles using only the object's properties.

Disagreements between the tree and the registry are the theoretically productive cases.
