Coherence Visual Validator (LoC-V)

A visual logic validator for Unity, powered by the Logic of Coherence (LoC) framework.

---

📐 Rule Format (VisualRuleSet.json)

{
  "parameter": "isVisible",
  "comparator": "eq",
  "value": "false"
}

Triggers thenRequirements like:

{
  "property": "castsShadow",
  "expectedValue": "false"
}

🔁 Example Rule

{
  "id": "shadow-on-invisible-object",
  "description": "Invisible objects should not cast shadows.",
  "ifCondition": {
    "parameter": "isVisible",
    "comparator": "eq",
    "value": "false"
  },
  "thenRequirements": [
    {
      "property": "castsShadow",
      "expectedValue": "false"
    }
  ],
  "message": "Object is invisible but still casting a shadow."
}

🎨 Supported Visual Properties

Property	What It Means
isVisible	Is the object's renderer enabled?
castsShadow	Does the object cast real-time shadows?
materialColor	The current material color of the object

You can expand this by adding your own properties in GetVisualProperty().

🧠 Based on the LoC Framework

This is a visual module for the broader Coherence Engine Stack, which includes:

• ✅ Coherence Filter Engine (Logic Layer)
• 🔷 Coherence-Physics (future physical consistency layer)
• 🔷 Coherence-AI (logic-driven NPC validation)
