Abstract
This review examines masked semantic inference and chirality-aware materials characterization through a mechanism-to-decision framework. It asks how spatial context can support rather than replace physicochemical explanation. Evidence is organized around representation, validation, uncertainty, and operational control, with no invented experiments or unreported quantitative results. Particular attention is given to segmentation consistency being treated as evidence of molecular mechanism. The synthesis shows that credible translation depends on explicit system boundaries, source-level traceability, failure-aware evaluation, and revalidation triggers. These principles provide a disciplined basis for chiral and nanostructured materials imaging while keeping component promise distinct from system readiness.
