THE KEY EMERGES promotion.py
Promotion is the moment a survived transform candidate stops being
a search result and becomes a structural object.
Before promotion: a parameter vector that scored well on invariance.
After promotion: an independent object with its own identity,
provenance, structural parameterization, and admissibility certificate.
This transition is architecturally significant.
The promoted structure is NO LONGER tied to the raw signal points.
It is the invariant that survived extracted from its substrate
and made available for higher-order operations (composition).
This is what the spec means by abstraction event:
The structure departs from its substrate.
It becomes an object that exists independently.
WHAT PROMOTION EXTRACTS:
For Arm 1 (radial invariant):
The survived transform recovers near-circular structure.
Promotion extracts: mean radius, radius consistency, and a
canonical circular profile the radial relationship that held.
For Arm 2 (periodic invariant):
The survived transform recovers periodic structure.
Promotion extracts: amplitude, frequency, phase the periodic
relationship that held across all exposures.
These extracted parameters are the structure. They are not labels.
They are not annotations. They are the residue of everything
that didnt survive.
CODE COMMENT CONTRACT:
At promotion, comments must state that the object is no longer
treated as raw signal but as survived structure eligible for
higher-order operations.

This object is NO LONGER raw signal. It is survived structure
eligible for higher-order operations (composition).
The promotion event is architecturally distinct from selection:
- Selection: "this candidate scores highest this generation"
- Promotion: "this structure has earned independent standing"
The promoted structure carries:
- its structural parameterization (the invariant itself)
- its provenance (where it came from, how it survived)
- its admissibility certificate (world pre-screening passed)
- render geometry (passive, does not drive logic)
