The observatory is placed at the top of this page because it is the clearest visual explanation of what PRISM-DSTW adds beyond the core engine: not another pocket viewer, but the audit layer that turns dynamic physics into calibrated biological decision evidence.
1 · State tensor
PRISM-4D exports aligned physics, not biological labels
The physics substrate remains blind to assay outcomes. It emits state manifolds, transfer-entropy channels, thermal hysteresis, hydration variance, and dynamic contact graphs through the handshake contract.
2 · Observation bridge
Assays become likelihood blocks with provenance
Each assay is treated as a window onto the same latent thermodynamic geometry. Processed tables, raw-derived spectra, and validation references keep separate evidence kinds so the model can express disagreement instead of hiding it.
3 · Active learning
BALD selects the next physics questions
Posterior uncertainty is routed back into PRISM-4D as a targeted simulation request. The loop spends compute on variants and states that are expected to collapse the most uncertainty.
4 · Firewall
Decision artifacts are chronology-bound
Registries, handshake contracts, priors, normalized evidence, and exported decision matrices are hashable as a single evidence state. The downstream claim is tied to the manifold state that produced it.
