Encoded Material Systems (EMS) is a processor lineage.

EMS defines computation as a function of record, constraint, and admissible state—not as a function of speed, scale, or electrical power.

In EMS, matter itself serves as memory, logic, and proof. Physical form is not representation; it is the record.

EMS processors advance only through settled or explicitly accepted variance. No silent completion. No implicit authority.

Electrical, digital, and interactive systems may be used within EMS implementations, but they are incidental. The invariant is record.
