EDOC Addendum IV — Predictive Outlook

This addendum extends the Causal Metrics Definition (Addendum III) by introducing empirical mappings and predictive formulations for the EDOC continuum. It connects the causal-metric set {F, Γ, Ωᴱ, ηₚ, X_EDOC} to measurable quantities such as signal rate, coherence visibility, redundancy, and energy cost per information unit. The Integration Principle defines X_EDOC = Σ X_{μ→ν} across quantum, classical, semantic, and renewal transitions, maintaining informational conservation under variable coherence (Ωᴱ ≤ 1). The calibration heuristic ΔE Δt ≈ κₕ h (0 < κₕ ≤ 1) links frame-level dynamics to empirical time-energy coupling. No new constants are introduced; the framework remains informationally closed and empirically testable.
