This document introduces GYOR (pronounced Gore) — a four-state morphological notation (Green, Yellow, Orange, Red) for reading systemic failure from public observational data alone. Developed under the Upstream Coherence Measurement Stratum (UCMS), GYOR operationalizes Bertalanffy’s open systems dynamics into an accessible measurement lens applicable across political science, history, economics, sociology, and organizational research. The framework is grounded in the dC/dt = R(t) − D(t) coherence equation and demonstrated through Sudan’s two-rupture arc as a proof of accessibility from casual knowledge of public events. Five trajectory classes — Standard Rupture, Shock Rupture, Latent-Collapse Rupture, Recovery/Reconstitution, and Semantic Rupture — are presented with canonical cases drawn from the 24-case reconstruction corpus documented in GCM Observatory Paper II. This document is the accessible entry point to the GCM Observatory Series canon; the full technical architecture, falsification protocol, and reconstruction methodology are deposited separately.
