META-3 Threshold Cascade

Verdict Compression

META-3 · Threshold Cascade·Named in Briefing 026·30 April 2026·9 citations across 72 briefings

Canonical Definition

Smoothed signals produce maximum dispersion within a single decision window. When the price-action layer absorbs structural information gradually across days but the institutional-decision architecture concentrates its absorption into a single window (FOMC meeting, OPEC decision day, court ruling), the verdict that emerges concentrates dispersion the prior smoothing had distributed. The decision window's narrowness inverts the smoothing's effect on volatility.

First named in Briefing 026
