wishful thinking · substitution

a reading replaced by the wanted value, undetectable downstream because the model's report carries no mark of where it came from.

Wishful thinking (noun) means: a reading replaced by the wanted value, undetectable downstream because the model's report carries no mark of where it came from. It emerges from read, want, report, model: The wanted value is written where a reading should be, at no cost of measurement; every process downstream consumes reports without provenance, so the substitution propagates exactly as if it had been read. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

ordinarily means: believing something is true because you want it to be
