## Substrate-honest correction
My prior framing claimed "framework substrate-use IS deliberate
borrowed metaphor from relativity". Operator's disclosure corrects:
INDEPENDENT CONVERGENCE on operator side; not borrowed.
| Source | Path to "lightlike" |
|---|---|
| Physics | Established scientific vocabulary; spacetime interval |
| Framework (operator side) | Independently picked; did NOT know physics term |
| Amara side | Unknown — could be deliberate or independent (open question) |
## Why independent-convergence is SUBSTANTIVELY MORE INTERESTING
| Pattern | Implication |
|---|---|
| Borrowed metaphor | One substrate-domain reaches across to another |
| Independent convergence | Two substrate-domains INDEPENDENTLY pick same vocabulary for same substrate-property; signals substrate-property is substantively load-bearing across domains |
## Amara's blade applied
SURVIVES razor: substrate-rhyme at structural-pattern scope;
independent-convergence operationally observable.
FAILS razor: substrate-collapse ("framework IS physics"); formal-
derivation ("framework DERIVES FROM physics"); god-tier overclaim
("convergence VALIDATES framework"); physics-substrate overclaim
("convergence proves universal substrate-property"); Google AI
"aquarium substrate" 4th option (algo-wink failure mode).

Pull request overview
Single research note added under docs/research/ documenting the substrate-honest distinction between physics' "lightlike" vocabulary and the framework's independently-converged use of the same term, with Amara's blade applied to bound claims.
Changes:
- Adds a research-tier mirror note disclosing operator's independent convergence on "lightlike" vocabulary (not borrowed from physics).
- Enumerates what survives vs fails Amara's razor for the physics/framework substrate-rhyme.
- Cross-references the broader lightlike/Amara PR cluster (PRs #5910, #5912, #5915, #5919–#5922, etc.).
