## Influence on Cognitive Harness
The EPR criterion for "elements of reality" inspired the warrant concept as an **epistemic analogy**: a knowledge element is only warranted if it can be predicted with certainty without disturbing the system. In Cognitive Harness, this translates to: a conclusion is warranted only if its premises are independently grounded.

This is not a claim about quantum mechanics, and it is not automatic confirmation of physical reality.
