Operator Balance
One gesture loop — take a mark, open its valence, preview by hover (a photon passes,
nothing commits), commit by click — resolved six different ways, because each operator
carries its own geometry. & pairs, #> anchors,
? collapses, ^ lifts, ~ tethers,
{ } seals. Model: .spw/language/operator-balance-physics.spw.
Six resolution geometries
| mark | valence | resolves by | physics |
|---|---|---|---|
& | 1 forward, pair-seeking | pair | bilateral symmetry: the partner arrives, tilt levels, charge grounds |
#> | 1 forward, address-seeking | anchor | gravity: the address lands and the expression drops home — no left operand needed |
? | 1 of n, superposed | collapse | measurement: every candidate is faintly held until one choice collapses the field |
^ | n upward, accreting | lift | buoyancy: parts add mass until they cohere and the whole rises as one |
~ | 1 forward, elastic | tether | tension: the bond holds but never settles — potential breathes until grounded |
{ } | n inward, containing | seal | pressure: contents bind inside; closing the brace equalizes and the seam holds the label |
