STING agonist at antigen release, addressing threshold drift
STING agonist (sting pathway agonism) acts at the antigen release step of the cancer-immunity cycle. The failure mode is threshold drift: threshold moves out of reach of normal loading current. Capacitor sometimes fires, sometimes doesn't; unpredictable activation.
What this is
The Living Scorecard is Encounter's open record of structural predictions. Each hypothesis names a candidate intervention, where in the cycle it is predicted to act, the failure mode it is predicted to address, and the evidence available when the prediction was made.
Predictions are locked with timestamps before they can be tested. Encounter generates them daily, many more than any one person can chase, so the field can see what the framework claims structurally, ahead of the data. Some will hold. Some will be refuted. Both stay on the page. The point is that each prediction is committed before the answer is known, so the data that arrives later can confirm or refute it.
Structural argument
At the antigen release step of the cancer-immunity cycle (capacitor regime, position P1), STING agonist acts via sting pathway agonism. The failure mode is threshold drift: threshold moves out of reach of normal loading current. Capacitor sometimes fires, sometimes doesn't; unpredictable activation. The intervention's regime-type class lines up with the position's regime, and failure_threshold_drift belongs to that regime's failure set.
rule_r13(required) — Combinatorial candidate is grounded in R13's position-to-state table, which determines which interventions are structurally addressable at which positions.
