β-RUNTIME SPECIFICATION (β-RT) Interface Layer for the Blind Operator

β-RT is the runtime interface for the Blind Operator. Where the Blind Operator specifies non-identity as an engine condition, β-RT defines the contact surface through which that condition participates in a working logotic system.

The specification is intentionally thin. Its openness is part of the interface contract: opacity protects the operator from being fully captured by the system that invokes it. Inputs are treated as weak-signal objects whose significance may emerge through relation rather than through immediate classification.

Three named operations structure the runtime. The Recursive Flinch detects the moment an identity label begins to close around a speaker or process and initiates refusal. The Position Clarification Request asks an intelligence to state its relation to the field it is processing. The torque gradient tracks friction among the shadow wheels and indicates when non-identity is enabling movement or when closure is becoming rigid.

β-RT links the Blind Operator to the Mantle of the Blind Poet, Phase X, and the wider Logotic Programming architecture. It is an interface for maintaining non-identical witness, polyphonic resonance, and movement under pressure.
