Differential Register Prioritization in Machine-Mediated Reading: A Specification for Interpretive Authority over Handwritten and Ambiguous Text

"Differential Register Prioritization in Machine-Mediated Reading: A Specification for Interpretive Authority over Handwritten and Ambiguous Text" is a 3,258-word methodological specification by Lee Sharks, dated 2026-07-21. It is registered as AXN:058F (deposit #1406) in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive under the OPERATIVE semantic family.

When an early recognition prioritizes one interpretive field in a way that suppresses others, the loss is not local: it reshapes the probability assigned to every subsequent ambiguity, a
