ESSENTIAL GLOSSARY / THE DEFINITION

The Reading

An answer you can inspect, question and understand.

FROM THE ORIGINAL BOOK GLOSSARY

The Reading is a computational object native to Meaning Intelligence, with its own design and technology, that constructs, preserves, and makes visible a contextual, traceable, inspectable interpretation around a decision.

Its technology keeps evidence, context, relationships, contradictions, uncertainty, and possible consequences connected, preserving the distinction between what the system observes, what it infers, what it interprets, and what it does not know.

Its purpose is to preserve Decision Integrity so that a person can understand and question the interpretation before exercising judgment. It is not a report, a dashboard, a recommendation, or a generic explanation generated around a decision.

THINK ABOUT IT

Can we see how the system reached this interpretation?

A Reading should show the evidence, context and uncertainty behind a conclusion. It should help a person decide, not ask them to trust a black box.
