Concept
The three things compression can do to a claim’s truth value, set by the gap between the idea’s decoding key and the key the receiver supplies: preservation (keys close — a low-resolution true image), inversion (keys opposed — a true claim decoded into a false belief), and orthogonality (the claim is read as an identity flag, its truth value intact but no longer the operative axis). The selection gate decides which regime a compressed variant lands in.
