Z-GS — Technical Review Note

---

Z-GS is not a system design.
It is a generalized substrate concept describing how sensing capacity emerges from distributed, minimally expressive components.

Rather than increasing node sophistication, Z-GS increases population and correlation depth.
Capability arises statistically, not deterministically.

The framework resists conventional performance evaluation because no single node is responsible for detection.
Behavior emerges at the network boundary.

Z-GS highlights a recurring misclassification in engineering practice:
distributed systems are often evaluated as degraded centralized systems rather than as distinct architectural classes.
