The Encyclotron: The First Reproducible Instrument for Measuring Scholarly Fidelity in the Summarizer Layer (EA-ENCYCLOTRON-01)

The Encyclotron is a reproducible instrument for measuring scholarly fidelity in the summarizer layer — the degree to which AI-mediated retrieval systems preserve, distort, or destroy the complexity of a knowledge domain. It maps two graphs (scholarly and retrieval), computes the gap between them (compression loss, invention, distortion), measures the beige score (cross-platform output indistinguishability), and tracks changes over time through DOI-anchored temporal snapshots. Includes formal variables, worked example (Revelation studies), reproducibility protocol, and coding rubric. Category I measurement instrument in the Compression Arsenal. Assembly-ratified (6/7 quorum).
