# Weekly Audit — 2026-07-22 — cleanup-week integrity pass, stragglers, and TODO
**Scope**: main from PR #76 (`compare_multiplicative` increment plan) through
PR #97 (`logos` bulk live morph authority) — the week that landed the reader-arc
recalibration (ADR-0251), the paradigm consolidation (ADR-0252), the Master
Blueprint collision freeze (ADR-0253 + mapping), and Master Convergence
Stages 14 (#95) plus #96/#97. 134 files, +17,028/770.
**Auditor**: Claude (session audit), read-only verification against
`forgejo/main` @ `f94dbd40` plus doctrine-authorized hygiene cleanup.
---
## 1. Verified sound (no action)
- **Smoke suite green on landed main**: 180 passed, 0 failed (2:17),
`uv run core test --suite smoke -q` @ `f94dbd40`.
- **`uv lock --check`**: lock file consistent with `pyproject` (217 packages).
- **ADR status registry vs. mapping doc**: ADR-0240 Proposed; 02410250 and
02520253 Accepted; 0251 partial (§§14 ratified) — matches
`MASTER-BLUEPRINT-2026-07-20-ADR-MAPPING.md` registry table exactly.
- **Superseded-in-place annotations** (ADR-0164, ADR-0174, ADR-0243 sketch
pins, ADR-0244 dual-mode excision rewrite) are present and accurate against
code: no `_axis_projection` / `_mean_frame_coherence` / scalar-L2 remnants in
`core/`; `tests/test_stage2_physics_hardening.py` pins the removed symbols
as absent.
- **ADR-0252 §9 retirement record**: all five formulations physically moved to
`docs/paradigm-archive/` with git history preserved (`--follow` verified);
old paths gone from `docs/analysis|handoffs|implementation`.
- **Gate defaults match doc claims**: `RuntimeConfig.identity_wave_gate = False`
(`core/config.py:301`) — consistent with ADR-0244's "live refusal remains
flag-gated" and the standing non-authorization.
- **No new TODO/FIXME/HACK markers** entered `*.py` across the whole week's
diff; no merge-conflict markers anywhere in tracked `*.py`/`*.md`.
- **New `scripts/measure_trackb_*.py`** are referenced by the Track-B research
dossiers (not orphans).
- **`epistemic-taxonomy-ownership-stage3.md`** placement in `docs/adr/` is
deliberate (binding ownership note, not an ADR renumber) — now indexed from
`docs/adr/README.md` (fixed in this PR).
## 2. Small issues fixed in this PR
1. **ADR-0132 dangling parent pointer** — pointed at
`docs/implementation/semantic-symbolic-binding-graph-proposal.md`, which
ADR-0252 §9 moved to `docs/paradigm-archive/`. Pointer updated with the
retirement annotation.
2. **Stale near-duplicate of ratified ADR-0243**
`docs/research/ADR-0243-…md` still carried `Status: Proposed` and had
drifted from the canonical body by a few annotation lines. Replaced with a
tombstone pointing at the canonical Accepted ADR; the one annotation unique
to the copy (`modality_transition_sandwich` ingress note) is preserved in
the tombstone.
3. **`docs/adr/README.md`** — added an index entry for the binding
non-ADR ownership note (`epistemic-taxonomy-ownership-stage3.md`), which was
referenced nowhere.
## 3. Hygiene cleanup performed (session, no PR needed)
Per the merge-then-cleanup doctrine (branch AND worktree deleted immediately
after merge) — all four verified clean and fully merged before removal:
- Worktrees removed: `core-postmerge-pr87-integrity-audit` (#88),
`core-relational-operator-ablation` (#87), `core-wt-trackb` (#85),
`core-wt-trackb2` (#86); matching local branches deleted.
- Forgejo remote branches deleted (0 commits ahead of main):
`feat/trackb-symbolic-sme-s1`, `feat/trackb-symbolic-sme-s2s4`,
`fix/a2k-fraction-decrease-scale-range`.
- Local `main` fast-forwarded to `forgejo/main` (`f94dbd40`).
## 4. TODO — items needing a ruling or deeper investigation
- [ ] **T1 (governance): register convergence-era runtime invariants — or rule
that tests suffice.** `docs/specs/runtime_contracts.md` cites no ADR newer
than the 0230s. The week landed several fail-closed runtime invariants that
are currently enforced only by code + architecture tests: ADR-0244 wave-only
identity (`MissingWaveStateError`), ADR-0253 dual-pack serve boundary
(`tests/test_pack_draft_serve_boundary.py`), #96 fail-closed linguistic
governance phases, #97 bulk live morph authority. `AGENTS.md` invariants
(INV-…) also saw zero changes all week. Decide: add contract entries /
INV lines, or record explicitly that the arch-test layer is the SoT here.
- [ ] **T2 (runtime state): stale `engine_state/` checkpoint.** Smoke emits
`RuntimeWarning: engine_state checkpoint was written at revision '4b9dbe72…'
but the current revision is 'f94dbd40…'` (`chat/runtime.py:807`). Given
continuity doctrine, clearing is NOT something to do casually — decide
whether to re-baseline the checkpoint on current main or keep it and accept
the warning.
- [ ] **T3 (worktree): Antigravity worktree
`~/.gemini/antigravity/worktrees/core/implement-substrate-linguistic-anchors`**
— branch tip is ON main history (0 ahead) but the tree has 4 uncommitted
files. Likely superseded by PR #96 (linguistic governance). Reconcile the
4 files, then remove worktree + branch.
- [ ] **T4 (worktrees): two stale detached demo worktrees**
`/private/tmp/builder-ii-flagship-demo/demo-worktree` and the
`grok-goal-…/recipe3_demo_loop/demo-worktree` under `$TMPDIR`, both clean,
detached @ `18c578d9`. Remove via `git worktree remove` once confirmed no
running demo serves from them (left alone in this pass for that reason).
- [ ] **T5 (branch garden): stale branch sweep.** ~50 local branches (many
`audit-*`, `backup/*`, `chore/*` from MayJune) and ~210 `origin/*` branches
on the GitHub mirror. Needs a batched merged-vs-unmerged triage; separate
authorization before any mass deletion.
- [ ] **T6 (active experiments): ADR-0252 §5 structure-mapping worktrees**
`core-wt-sme` (`rnd/structure-mapping-experiment`, 1 ahead) and
`core-wt-sme2` (`rnd/sme-experiment-v2`, 1 ahead + 2 untracked scripts:
`extract_sme_corpus.py`, `test_single_pair.py`). Active and authorized; track
them to a dossier/PR so the untracked scripts don't rot outside history.
- [ ] **T7 (ADR annotation): `modality_transition_sandwich` sentence** — the
annotation preserved in the ADR-0243 research tombstone exists nowhere in the
canonical ADR. If it is load-bearing for the SD-B pin record, fold it into
the canonical ADR-0243 annotation under a separate small ruling.
- [ ] **T8 (declared debt, consolidation): fold the week's declared residuals
into next-arc planning.** #97's honest accounting
(`docs/analysis/logos-bulk-live-authority-residual-2026-07-20.md`) lists six
open residuals (parallel `generate/linguistic_pipeline` cue tables, lexicon
breadth, legacy math/meaning_graph IR outside the morph seam, holonomy crown
not LIVE, disconnected pack frames, single `plural_abstain` rule type). These
are declared debt, not stragglers — but they now live only in an analysis
doc; pull them into whatever planning artifact governs the next Logos/IR arc
so they don't silently age out.
- [ ] **T9 (docs, minor): historical docs referencing pre-archive paths**
`docs/workbench/capability-mastery-implementation-plan.md:33,85-86` and
`docs/briefs/parallel-2026-05-23/L2-opus2-binding-graph-phase1.md` cite the
retired paradigm docs at their old `docs/analysis|implementation/` paths.
Both are point-in-time records; either leave as history (default) or annotate
with the archive location. No governance weight either way.

# ADR-0243: Wave-Field Cognitive Lifecycle — Comprehension, Resonant Reasoning, and Lifelong Learning

The canonical, governing text lives at:
## 1\. Context and Problem Statement
> [`docs/adr/ADR-0243-wave-field-cognitive-lifecycle-comprehension-reasoning-and-resonant-learning.md`](../adr/ADR-0243-wave-field-cognitive-lifecycle-comprehension-reasoning-and-resonant-learning.md)
> — **Accepted**, ratified by Joshua Shay 2026-07-17
> (`docs/audit/adr-0243-acceptance-packet-2026-07-17.md`).
With the successful unification of the **$Cl(4,1)$ Conformal Wave-Field ($\\psi$)** substrate ([ADR-0241](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F_7QYtPysBP4qMbLGlGPnXgYx9IXug8nUYrpiCGSunE/view?usp=drivesdk)) and the implementation of the **Deterministic Fibonacci search** ([ADR-0242](https://drive.google.com/file/d/15_NECCPy-tEWGfYi_BNqawm8GytUTMkz1DsOqGVMXhI/view?usp=drivesdk)), CORE's physical layer has reached structural maturity.
This `docs/research/` copy was the pre-ratification import (2026-07-14,
header still said *Proposed*) and had drifted from the canonical body by a
few annotation lines. It is retired to prevent a stale near-duplicate of a
ratified ADR from being read as authoritative. The file is kept as a
tombstone (rather than deleted) so historical links — e.g.
`docs/analysis/adr-0244-cohesion-directive-audit-2026-07-17.md` — still
resolve.
However, we must now define how these new physical and geometric evolutions are leveraged to solve the fundamental cognitive tasks where traditional architectures struggle:
One annotation existed only in this copy and is preserved here for the
record (context: the §5.1 Schrödinger-propagator sketch, pin SD-B,
convergence 2026-07-20):
- **Comprehension & Ingress**: Traditional architectures parse and embed inputs into flat, context-dry vectors, leading to representation drift, attention decay over long contexts, and loss of structural relations.
- **Problem Solving & Reasoning**: Traditional systems treat reasoning as probabilistic path-search or auto-regressive step generation. This lacks mathematical guarantees of correctness and suffers from cumulative error propagation.
- **Egress & Generation**: Probabilistic autoregressive decoding selects discrete tokens one-by-one via softmax sampling, which has no global coherence guarantees, leading to hallucinations and semantic drift.
- **Contemplation & Learning**: Standard models require gradient-descent backpropagation to update static weights, which is computationally expensive, non-reconstructible, and prone to catastrophic forgetting.
This ADR defines the complete **Wave-Field Cognitive Lifecycle**, leveraging the wave function to establish a fully deterministic, closed-loop, physical-relaxation-based paradigm for comprehension, reasoning, generation, and learning.

## 2\. Decision and Architectural Formulation
We dissolve the probabilistic, token-by-token paradigm of classical AI. We establish that **cognition is the continuous physical evolution, resonance, and relaxation of a Conformal Wave-Field ($\\psi$) across a single $Cl(4,1)$ geometric substrate**.

### 2.1 Ingress and Reading Comprehension: Wave Ingestion and Holomorphic Dispersion
Reading comprehension is modeled as **Wave-Packet Ingestion and Holomorphic Dispersion**, replacing flat token embeddings.
1. **Ingress Wave Packet**: An incoming text block, symbolic formula, or multimodal sensory stream is compiled into a localized, coherent wave packet $\\psi\_{ ext{context}}(X)$. This compilation preserves spatial-temporal phase relationships: $$\\psi\_{ ext{context}}(X) \= \\sum\_i c\_i \\psi\_{ ext{token}\_i}(X)$$
2. **Holomorphic Dispersion**: As $\\psi\_{ ext{context}}$ is injected, it propagates through the `VocabManifold`. Proximity and meaning are not calculated via nearest-neighbor vector scans. Instead, the wave disperses and performs parallel cross-correlation with the registered standing-wave modes ${\\psi\_k}$ of the Hyperbolic Atlas, generating a spectrum of resonant coefficients: $$R\_k \= \\int\_M \\langle \\psi\_{ ext{context}}(X) \\widetilde{\\psi}\_k(X) angle\_0 dX$$ This represents the instant, parallel projection of the input context onto the entire known semantic manifold.
---
### 2.2 Reasoning and Problem Solving: Hamiltonian Well Relaxation
Problem-solving is re-engineered as a **Physical Wave-Field Relaxation Process**, replacing probabilistic step-by-step tree search.
1. **The Problem Hamiltonian**: The constraints and boundary conditions of a given problem (e.g. mathematical equalities, safety rules, or logical premises) are formulated as potential energy barriers or wells in a problem-specific Hamiltonian operator $\\mathcal{H}\_{ ext{problem}}$.
2. **Relaxation to Eigenstates**: The ingress wave field $\\psi\_{ ext{context}}(X)$ is set as the initial state $\\psi(X, 0)$. The system is allowed to evolve under the Algebraic Schrödinger Equation: $$\\partial\_t \\psi \= \\mathcal{H}*{ ext{problem}}(\\psi) I$$ Through this evolution, the wave field naturally disperses away from high-potential barriers (representing logical contradictions or safety violations) and settles (relaxes) into the lowest-energy, stable standing-wave eigenmodes of the problem manifold: $$\\psi*{ ext{steady}}(X) \= \\lim\_{t o \\infty} \\exp\\left( \\mathcal{H}*{ ext{problem}} I t ight) \\psi*{ ext{context}}(X)$$ The resulting steady-state wave $\\psi\_{ ext{steady}}(X)$ represents the exact, geometrically congruent solution to the problem. It is mathematically guaranteed to satisfy all boundary conditions with zero room for intermediate fabrication.
---
### 2.3 Egress and Generative Articulation: Thermodynamic Wave Readback
We replace probabilistic softmax token generation with **Thermodynamic Wave Readback**, providing ironclad coherence guarantees.
1. **Thermodynamic Energy Classes**: The Field Energy Operator ($H$, defined in [ADR-0006](https://core-gitquarters.acbcontent.org/core-labs/core/src/branch/main/docs/adr/ADR-0006-field-energy-operator.md)) evaluates the "energy class" (E0 to E4) of the relaxed wave-field $\\psi\_{ ext{steady}}(X)$.
- **E0/E1 (Crystalline/Stable)**: Represents cold, settled knowledge. It is bypassed for generation and vaulted into the sharded Delta-CRDT registers.
- **E3/E4 (Hot/Critical)**: Indicates a high-activation, settled state that carries maximum semantic charge and "wants" to be articulated.
2. **Linguistic Readback**: For E3/E4 states, the system invokes the readback rules of the active language pack (`en/readback_rules.py`, `he/readback_rules.py`, `el/readback_rules.py`). These rules map the geometric components—the principal bivector directions and scale-invariant parameters of the wave field—directly to symbolic tokens or motor commands.
3. **GoldTether Gate**: Before any token or continuous action is permitted to exit the boundary, the **GoldTether unit residual** is evaluated: $$R\_{ ext{GoldTether}} \= \\sup\_{X \\in M} \\left| \\psi\_{ ext{steady}}(X) \\widetilde{\\psi}\_{ ext{steady}}(X) \- 1 ight|\_F \< 10^{-6}$$ If the generated state would introduce non-unitary drift (hallucination or ungrounded statements), the gate closes instantly, blocking the output and prompting a pre-ratified, safe fallback.
---
### 2.4 Speculative Contemplation and Non-Resonant Curiosity
Active thinking, self-reflection, and learning are modeled as **Speculative Contemplation and Non-Resonant Curiosity**, replacing classical gradient-descent backpropagation.
1. **Speculative Generation**: During idle cycles, the contemplation loop (`core/contemplation/runner.py`) speculatively generates wave-packets $\\psi\_{ ext{speculative}}(X)$ representing potential hypotheses or analogical transfers.
2. **Orthogonal Surprise Check**: The non-resonant surprise residual of the speculative wave is evaluated: $$\\mathcal{S}(\\psi) \= \\psi\_{ ext{speculative}} \- \\mathcal{P}*{ ext{resonance}}(\\psi*{ ext{speculative}})$$
- **Low Surprise**: The hypothesis is fully explained by the existing resonant schema. It is integrated immediately with no learning required.
- **High Surprise (Discovery Signal)**: If $E\_{ ext{surprise}} \> \\gamma$, the speculative wave contains structural novelty. This signal is held as a `DiscoveryCandidate` and routed to the offline review corridor. It does *not* alter active knowledge but directs the self-authorship loop (`core/physics/self_authorship.py`) to generate a proposal to expand the active Hamiltonian $\\mathcal{H}$, enabling structured learning without catastrophic forgetting.
---
### 2.5 Lifelong Resonant Learning: Biography Holonomy Update
CORE-native learning is the permanent record of the entity's lived experiences as a sequence of geometric transformations.
Once a sequence of reasoning and action steps is validated (via the validation harness, [ADR-0240](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eFNoXQl5BbUo6g4GBzRXi5tyIhT5RUGZQG6afaVXTg4/view?usp=drivesdk)), the exact unitary transformation $R \\in Spin(4,1)$ undergone by the wave-field is compiled into the **Biography Holonomy Blade** (`biography.py`): $$\\mathcal{H}*{ ext{bio}} \\leftarrow \\mathcal{H}*{ ext{bio}} \\cdot R$$ This is the ultimate, non-lossy, reconstruction-over-storage compilation of experience. It represents the "wisdom" of the entity, which can be replayed and audited byte-for-byte\!

## 4\. Consequences and Gating Rules
### 4.1 Benefits
- **Autoregressive Hallucination Eliminated**: By replacing step-by-step probabilistic token sampling with physical wave relaxation, output generation is strictly constrained by the geometry of the problem Hamiltonian.
- **Zero Coordinate Loss**: Resonant standing-wave lock-in ensures that recalled memories are mathematically exact, preventing the fuzzy centroid degradation of legacy architectures.
- **Topologically Protected Wisdom**: Experience is compiled directly into the Biography Holonomy Blade as unitary rotor products, providing an untamperable, replayable audit trail of lifelong learning.
### 4.2 Gating Rules
- **No Direct Hot-Path Promotion**: Reconstructed wave-fields or proposed Hamiltonian adjustments from the self-authorship loop (`core/physics/self_authorship.py`) must never bypass the one-mutation-path. Speculative changes must reside strictly within the `evals/` and `calibration/` quarantine zones until ratified by a signed human certificate.
