Sense Experience Reduction Protocol

Compression statement

Sense-Experience Reduction Protocol takes an abstract or contested claim—“X exists,” “X has property P,” “this state is present,” or “this report refers to a real object”—and rewrites it as a structured set of counterfactual conditionals: if an observer, participant, or instrument were placed under conditions C and performed access procedure A, experience or observation E should occur; under contrast conditions C′, E should not occur or should differ. The protocol then uses these possible-experience conditions to clarify meaning, design validation, expose under-specified claims, and distinguish empirical grounding from mere verbal assertion.

Canonical formula: For claim K about entity/state X, define access conditions C, observer or instrument O, procedure A, expected experience set E+, contrast experience set E−, and uncertainty boundary U. K is operationally grounded when C ∧ A ∧ O ⇒ E+ and contrast conditions discriminate E+ from E− within U.
