# Gainmark

After a translation, separate the meaning it preserves from the meaning it adds

Layer: Mind · Category: Reasoning

## Mechanism

After a [Translate](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Translate.md) or other rendering, the result is read against the source and split into what it preserves and what it adds: connotations, emphases or structure the source lacks. Each addition is listed with where it occurs, so readers do not attribute it to the source.

## Invariants

- Every addition found is listed with where it occurs.
- No listed addition is attributed to the source.

## Failure modes

- Invisible gain: an added connotation is read as the source's meaning.
- Gain denial: additions are dismissed as faithful nuance.

## Builds on

- [Translate](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Translate.md) (Mind; References)
