title: "fawp-index: FAWP Alpha Index — Information-Control Exclusion Principle detector"
abstract: >
  fawp-index detects the Information-Control Exclusion Principle (ICEP) regime in time-series data —
  the point where predictive information persists but operational control has collapsed.
  Implements the FAWP Alpha Index (α_A), Optimal Decision Window (ODW), Agency Horizon, and
  steering MI gap detection, calibrated from the SPHERE empirical series (E1–E9).
