COMPARE WITHOUT COLLAPSING THE DIFFERENCE

Eight practical distinctions

Each comparison stays tied to canonical glossary terms and can be sent through governed search.

Four questions. Explanations point back to the exact concepts. A score is local evidence of practice, not an external credential.

LEARN THE SECURITY BOUNDARY

Retrieval can inform an agent. Retrieved content cannot grant it authority.

The glossary demonstrates the same OverLift rule it teaches: exact and semantic retrieval may propose useful evidence, but source eligibility, permissions, capability admission, deterministic fallback, Tier-S verification, receipts, and replay decide what the product may trust.

PRIVACY What information leaves the chosen boundary?

Prefer browser-local, same-origin, or offline processing; disclose only the approved evidence a remote service actually needs.

SECURITY What can this code or agent reach, call, change, or persist?

Use worker and WebAssembly containment, explicit imports, typed tools, deadlines, allowlists, and fail-closed defaults.

AUTHORITY What is allowed to become official truth or state?

Keep identity, permissions, policy, approval, exact execution, verification, receipts, and replay outside probabilistic control.
