Definitions
In plain terms
DX and ADX intentionally use absolute separation so positive and negative directional regimes can produce similar values.
Technical
A valid interpretation identifies the underlying measure, period, scale, threshold context, readiness, and direction companion if needed.
Scope

Examples
- A governed lesson calculates or identifies Direction-Agnostic Trend Strength only after its parameters, state, timing, and edge cases are declared.
