We propose a testable framework for validating claims about reality: V = L ∧ C ∧ R, where operational truth requires Logic (internal coherence AND comprehensibility), Coherence (self-consistency AND consistency with established knowledge), and Reality Correspondence (observable phenomena OR measurable effects OR traceable patterns). We demonstrate that (1) all three components are necessary (proof by counterexample), (2) the framework is falsifiable through three independent methods, and (3) the
