### The Causal Verification Loop
How do we know a sensor reading was real, not hallucinated? **Outcome verification over time.**
```
Unverified pattern (weight 0.1) → escalates to Nyx → decision → outcome
Did reality match prediction?
↓ ↓
YES NO
↓ ↓
weight += Δ weight -= Δ
After many YES: weight → 0.8+
COMPILE TO REFLEX ✓
```
**Hallucinations can't survive this gauntlet** — they don't produce consistent outcomes, so their patterns never accumulate enough weight to become reflexes. Reality is the ultimate validator.
This creates natural **causal pruning**: only patterns that reliably predict outcomes earn the privilege of becoming reflexes. The nervous system doesn't need to prove causality philosophically — it proves it operationally through repeated verification.
