Signal
Information available to the system now: external input, internal sensation, emotion, context, or active cue. A retrieved trace can function as a present signal once it becomes active.
Trace
Anything left behind that persists enough to be encountered again: a memory fragment, scar, message, witness account, receipt, habit, record, or pattern.
Orientation
What the system is currently for: safety, connection, status, completion, escape, repair, prediction, or another organizing aim.
Selection
Which available signals and traces are admitted into the render at all.
Weighting
How much influence each selected signal or trace receives. Weight can come from learning, repetition, emotion, expertise, role, reward, threat, or institutional status.
Framing
The story-shape imposed on the weighted material: betrayal, lesson, threat, accident, test, chapter, proof, opportunity, and so on.
Interpretation
The meaning assigned to the render: what happened because, what it means, what it says about me or us, and where the story goes next.
Inference
An audit label for a claim drawn from signals or traces. Inference is useful for separating "I observed" from "therefore," but it is not a separate stage in the STAR loop.
