Overview
CRL means Causal Residual Ledger. It is the verification-oriented record system of Real Science, meant to preserve claims, comparisons, residuals, and structural evaluation in a traceable form.
Core role
CRL exists so claims are not treated as valid merely because they are asserted. Instead, they are compared against structure, observation, and constraint.
The ledger concept emphasizes traceability, continuity, and reviewable record.
Core principle
Truth is approached through minimum residual under invariant constraints.

Why CRL matters
It preserves a structured record of evaluation.
It separates observation from explanation.
It keeps verification connected to constraints.
It supports continuity across revisions and refinements.
Relationship to RealNet
RealNet provides interpretation-side software outputs such as projections, recipes, virtual responses, and residuals.
CRL provides the record and evaluation side that can preserve those outputs in a structured way.
Relationship to Foundations
CRL depends on the Verification Principle and the broader foundations corridor.
Starter interpretation
In the current public site, CRL is a verification anchor: a place where residual logic, claim structure, and traceable evaluation remain visible.
Development-status note
CRL is released as developed and may be reiterated as the verification corridor becomes more explicit. Earlier versions remain part of the interpretive record unless explicitly deprecated.
