Empirical Sector (S_E)

The Empirical Sector S_E is the collection of all E_3-admissible contents whose coherence is governed by the Empirical Register Reg_E. Formally, S_E = { c ∈ Adm_{E_3} | Coh(c) = Coh_E(c) }. Its sector question is 'What do I observe?', its witness bundle is an observable prediction, and its vacuum is the best-calibrated observational model.

Categorical invariant. Subobject S_E ⊆ Adm_{E_3} cut out by the equation Coh = Coh_E. S_E is one of four pure sectors (S_E, S_P, S_D, S_C) plus the mixed Logos sector S_L in the Sector Decomposition Theorem.

S_E is instantiated wherever a category-error-free claim's coherence is governed by empirical adequacy: a measurement protocol, a falsifiable prediction, an observational model. The sector question — 'What do I observe?' — is the structural ground of categorical ontology and categorical phenomenology (Book VII Parts II–III).

Examples:

• A particle-physics measurement (mass spectrometry of m_n) — sector S_E content whose coherence is empirical adequacy
• A clinical biomarker assay (homochirality polarimetry) — sector S_E content read out by Reg_E
• An fMRI study of neural correlates of consciousness — sector S_E content whose vacuum is the best-calibrated observational model

Register codomain: Obs (via Reg_E); the sector itself is a subobject of Adm_{E_3}
