Observation is what can be seen from a Term within a context.
Terms can be witnessed. Observation extracts what can be seen from a Term within a context. It describes how values and traces are witnessed, normalized, and compared — supplying the measuring context needed to bridge syntax with the judgemental and semantic structures that follow.
Observation is not yet accountable. It registers what can be seen but does not yet bind that seeing to a specific assertion about what is seen, where, or as what. Observation becomes accountable through Judgement.
