Direct evidence
Market records and public-world observations enter as point-in-time evidence. The runtime does not pre-label what matters.
Intelligence
Reasoning before prediction.
Vespera is built to understand the market state it can actually observe, not to manufacture certainty from hindsight.
Autonomous relevance
The Student decides which evidence is relevant, what conflicts, what is unknown and what deserves further investigation.
Decision episodes
Each decision preserves its observations, thesis, contradictions, invalidation, expectations and action for later evaluation.
Continuity
Open positions, prior admitted state and current world evidence are reconciled so decisions can continue across real operational interruptions.
The design principle
No future leakage.
A decision made at time T should never benefit from information that became available later. This constraint applies to historical experiments and live-market research alike.
That makes Vespera harder to build—and far more meaningful to evaluate.
