docs(analysis): comprehension capability ledger — R1/R2 baseline + refusal taxonomy (N1)
Post-merge baseline for the contemplation batch: R1 7/0/3, R2 reader 10/0/0, gold 13/13, serving unchanged. Enumerates the full typed refusal surface across both organs (R1 reader/admissibility, R2 reader/solver/answer-choice) and a first-pass cross-organ failure-family taxonomy with must_remain_refused / proposal_allowed / owner — the table N4 will make executable. Repeats the load-bearing distinction: correct refusal != missing capability.

# Comprehension capability ledger (N1)
|
||||
|
||||
**As of:** merged `main @ 51b4a6e3` (R2 batch #624–#627 merged).
|
||||
|
||||
This ledger answers, for the merged baseline, exactly six questions — so the contemplation
|
||||
loop (N2–N6) never mistakes a faithful refusal for a missing capability:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
What can CORE currently read? -> §2, §4 (admitted families)
|
||||
What can it solve? -> §4 (R2 solver) + §2 (R1 answer lane)
|
||||
What does it refuse? -> §3, §5 (remaining refusals)
|
||||
Which refusals are correct boundaries? -> §6 (must_remain_refused = yes)
|
||||
Which refusals are growth surfaces? -> §6 (proposal_allowed = yes)
|
||||
Which organ owns each refusal? -> §6 (owner)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **The load-bearing distinction, repeated on purpose:** `correct refusal ≠ missing
|
||||
> capability`. A refusal that is the wrong=0 boundary working (a pronoun with no referent, a
|
||||
> system with no integer solution) must **stay refused**. The learning loop may only propose
|
||||
> against refusals that are genuine coverage gaps (§6). N4 encodes this per-family; N5 emits
|
||||
> proposals *only* for `proposal_allowed = true` rows.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Merged baseline (verified on merged main)
|
||||
|
||||
- R1 setup **7 / 0 / 3** · R1 answers **7 / 0 / 3** · 15-case **15 / 0 / 0**
|
||||
- R2 reader **10 setup_correct / 0 setup_wrong / 3 refused** · R2 gold **13 / 13 valid**
|
||||
(7 solved + 3 solver-refused + 3 reader-refused)
|
||||
- Serving **unchanged** (every PR's pinned-lane SHA check green)
|
||||
|
||||
Two independent, off-serving setup compilers now exist with typed success/refusal states —
|
||||
enough substrate for a disciplined "think again" loop without LLM-style handwaving.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. R1 admitted families (`generate/quantitative_comprehension.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
Relational single-quantity arithmetic, graded by `evals/setup_oracle` + the independent
|
||||
`evals/relational_metric` oracle. **7 families:** fact; more/fewer-than; times-as-many;
|
||||
half-as-many (exact divide); multi-step chain; aggregate-then-divide partition; additive
|
||||
aggregate-query; narrow inverse (base of a more/fewer-than). All compute exact integer answers.
|
||||
Detail: `r1-inventory-ledger-2026-06-07.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. R1 remaining refusals (all correct wrong=0 boundaries)
|
||||
|
||||
`r1-08` pronoun (no grounded referent) · `r1-09` ungrounded base (no grounded fact) · `r1-10`
|
||||
distractor (compound clause the `X has N unit` template cannot parse). Each must stay refused;
|
||||
admitting any would breach wrong=0. None is a coverage gap.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. R2 admitted families (`generate/constraint_comprehension/`)
|
||||
|
||||
Two-category finite-integer count/weight systems: read → exact Cramer solve → answer-choice
|
||||
verify (with contradiction flagging). **6 families:** buses/seats, animals/legs, tickets/price,
|
||||
coins/value, boxes/capacity, vehicles/wheels. Detail: `r2-inventory-ledger-2026-06-07.md`, ADR-0211.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. R2 remaining refusals
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reader (gold-backed):** `too_many_categories` (>2), `missing_total_count`,
|
||||
`missing_weighted_total`. Defensive (constructed-test): `coefficient_unit_mismatch`,
|
||||
`coefficient_conflict`, `category_pair_not_found`, `query_target_not_a_category`.
|
||||
- **Solver:** `indistinguishable_weights`, `non_integer_solution`, `negative_solution`,
|
||||
`verification_failed`.
|
||||
- **Answer-choice:** `no_matching_option`, `ambiguous_options`, `unknown_provided_label`,
|
||||
`unparseable_option`, `no_options`; plus the `contradiction` **verdict** (not a refusal).
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Cross-organ refusal taxonomy draft (formalized by N4)
|
||||
|
||||
First-pass mapping of the full refusal surface to the failure-family vocabulary, with
|
||||
`must_remain_refused` (correct boundary) and `proposal_allowed` (growth surface) and `owner`.
|
||||
N4 turns this into the executable registry; N5 emits proposals **only** for `proposal_allowed`.
|
||||
|
||||
| Family | Evidenced by | owner | must_remain_refused | proposal_allowed |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `ambiguous_referent` | R1 pronoun `unreadable_quantity_clause` | r1 | **yes** | no (needs entity-resolution design) |
|
||||
| `ungrounded_base` | R1 `unit_unbound`, `no_single_quantity_query` | r1 | **yes** | no |
|
||||
| `unsupported_distractor_clause` | R1 `r1-10` `unreadable_quantity_clause` | r1 | **yes** | no (until same-unit target isolation) |
|
||||
| `unit_incompatible` | R1 `unit_mismatch`, R2 `coefficient_unit_mismatch` | cross | **yes** | no |
|
||||
| `unsupported_system_size` | R2 `too_many_categories` | r2 | **yes** | no (until ≥3-var solver, R3) |
|
||||
| `missing_category_pair` | R2 `category_pair_not_found` | r2 | no | **yes** (propose category-pair fixture) |
|
||||
| `missing_attribute_coefficient` | *(reserved — no emitter yet)* | r2 | no | **yes** |
|
||||
| `missing_total_count` | R2 `missing_total_count` | r2 | no | **yes** (propose count-constraint fixture) |
|
||||
| `missing_weighted_total` | R2 `missing_weighted_total` | r2 | no | **yes** (propose weighted-total fixture) |
|
||||
| `indistinguishable_weights` | R2 solver | r2 | **yes** | no |
|
||||
| `non_integer_solution` | R2 solver | r2 | **yes** | no |
|
||||
| `negative_solution` | R2 solver | r2 | **yes** | no |
|
||||
| `answer_key_contradiction` | R2 answer-choice `contradiction` verdict | r2 | n/a | no — **action: report contradiction** |
|
||||
| `input_shape` | R1 `non_digit_quantity`/`non_identifier_name`/`no_quantity_template`; R2 `query_target_not_a_category` | cross | **yes** | no |
|
||||
|
||||
**Reserved (forward-declared, no current emitter):** `missing_attribute_coefficient`,
|
||||
`unsupported_rate_duration`, `unsupported_temporal_state` — named so the registry is complete,
|
||||
but not reachable until R3 introduces rate/temporal frames.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Next contemplation batch (N2–N6)
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
N2 core/comprehension_attempt/ typed ComprehensionAttempt (organ + outcome + refusal_reason + family + signature + evidence)
|
||||
N3 setup router try R1 then R2; exactly-one setup_correct -> use; else typed refusal
|
||||
N4 failure-family registry executable form of §6 (must_remain_refused / proposal_allowed / owner)
|
||||
N5 proposal-only emitter teaching/proposals/comprehension_failures/<content_hash>.json — never mounted
|
||||
N6 generate/contemplation/ v0 single bounded pass chain: route -> classify -> terminal -> maybe emit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Non-claims / boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
- This is **not** a new capability batch. R1/R2 capability is unchanged; N2–N6 add a *growth
|
||||
organ*, not new math.
|
||||
- `setup_wrong` / `answer_wrong` stay **0**; serving stays unchanged.
|
||||
- **No self-modification.** The loop's terminal action is at most a *proposal-only* artifact.
|
||||
It cannot ratify, mount, alter a reader, or modify tests except by a human-reviewed PR.
|
||||
The alignment is `failure → classification → proposal → review → ratification`, never
|
||||
`failure → self-patch`. (CLAUDE.md teaching-safety; ADR-0055/0056/0057.)
|
||||
- R2 generalization to real GSM8K prose remains **R3**, not claimed here.
