The ERI-Lite v1.1 Live Proxy Instrument
Documenting the gap between an operational deployment and the five-layer ERI specification.
An operational research note detailing the structural differences between
the live production instrument (ERI-Lite v1.1) and the five-layer ERI
methodology. Analyzes how narrative velocity serves as a coarse signal
approximating narrative similarity, and outlines the parallel development
and shadow-mode observation of the complete ERI v2 model.

The Proxy / Direct ERI Measurement Gap
Clarifying the distinction between behavioral synchronization
and cognitive convergence within the Ergonitive Risk Index framework.
A living research note distinguishing the current proxy implementation
of ERI — which observes behavioral footprints — from the theoretical
objective of measuring cognitive convergence directly. Outlines the
role of the forthcoming Observatory in separating the behavioral and
cognitive layers, and the falsifiability commitments that govern future
validation.
