Hidden and Compact Contours

Realith admits regimes in which full internal content does not have to be equally observable to everyone; this is an architectural claim about the admissibility of such regimes, not a specification of a concealment mechanism.

At the current stage, it is enough to distinguish:

  • closed contours;
  • compact contours;
  • hidden contours;
  • regimes with a predominance of encryption (ciphertext-first) as an architectural direction, but not as a final specification.

In all of these regimes, the same logic is preserved:

  • not all content must be open;
  • causal continuity must not be lost;
  • the possibility of a verifiable outcome must remain;
  • the contour must not be destroyed for the sake of convenient external observability.

Hiddenness and compactness do not mean abandoning the canon.
They mean that:

  • canon is retained not through full disclosure of the whole array;
  • publication may be limited;
  • the architecture admits a verifiable outcome without disclosing the full internal content.
