Abstract
This critical review examines multimodal evidence and resilience across environmental and engineered systems. It asks which monitoring signals should trigger abstention, rollback, or formal revalidation. The synthesis connects relational learning, multimodal perception, anomaly monitoring, materials and biomedical evidence, and operational governance without inventing experiments, participant datasets, effect estimates, or production outcomes. Ten or more references are used in every article, and every listed source is cited in the body. Particular attention is given to measurement and contextual uncertainty disappearing during data fusion. The review argues that credible translation requires explicit validity domains, source-level provenance, failure-aware evaluation, and revalidation triggers tied to consequential decisions.
