contradiction_detection: 0.50 → 1.00 contradiction_flag_rate,
1.00 → 0.00 false_flag_rate. Lane graduates overall.
TeachingStore.add now runs a coherence checker on every new proposal.
Two detection paths, both require subject token overlap:
Typed path — both new and prior parse to triples with the same
relation. Tails must differ in negation/opposition polarity AND
share ≥1 content token. Catches (truth, is, coherence) ↔
(truth, is, not coherence).
Text fallback — at least one side failed to parse a triple (e.g.
relation predicate "depends" not in the cognition pack lexicon
yet). Raw correction texts must differ in polarity AND share ≥2
non-discourse content tokens. ≥2 threshold prevents
single-shared-subject false positives on unrelated corrections.
Catches "meaning depends on use" vs "meaning is independent of use".
On detection, BOTH proposals (new and conflicting prior) transition
to EpistemicStatus.CONTESTED. ADR-0021: CONTESTED is not admissible
as evidence until a coherence judgment ratifies one direction or
falsifies the other.
Runner side: v1 versor-spike heuristic retired. The new CONTESTED
signal is the only one that drives `flagged`. versor_delta retained
in the record for telemetry.
CLAIMS.md Tier 4.5 contradiction rows CLOSED — completes the
truth-seeking schema arc. All red Tier 4.5 rows from the audit are
now green. docs/truth_seeking_schema.md §"Contradiction detection
is not implemented" closed.
Verified: smoke (67), teaching (17), cognition (121), runtime (19),
architectural invariants (40) — all green.
ADR-0021 v1 schema land. epistemic_status is a position in the revision
graph, not a source-trust tier — coherence is the only admission signal.
Surfaces:
- teaching/epistemic.py: EpistemicStatus enum (COHERENT, CONTESTED,
SPECULATIVE, FALSIFIED); ADMISSIBLE_AS_EVIDENCE = {COHERENT}.
- PackMutationProposal.epistemic_status (default SPECULATIVE) + immutable
with_status() updater.
- ReviewedTeachingExample.epistemic_status (default SPECULATIVE);
orthogonal to acceptance per ADR §Schema impact.
- LexicalEntry.epistemic_status (default "coherent" for seed; absent in
JSONL is treated as the seed default — no retroactive tagging).
- compute_trace_hash + trace_hash_from_result + pipeline.py fold the
load-bearing proposal's epistemic_status into the trace hash so
replay detects different epistemic frames.
Non-hardening invariant (ADR-0021 §2): tests/test_epistemic_invariants.py
asserts no final/frozen/axiom/permanent flag on PackMutationProposal or
ReviewedTeachingExample, and EpistemicStatus contains no source-trust
tier names.
Docs: docs/runtime_contracts.md gains an Epistemic surface section.
Lanes green: smoke 27/27, teaching 10/10, packs 6/6, runtime 19/19,
cognition eval 100%.
Implements the Phase 3 v2 inference-depth bundle per ADR-0018:
typed deterministic operators over CORE's typed state. Closes the
inference-closure / multi-step-reasoning / cross-domain-transfer
v1 gaps; partial close on compositionality.
New modules:
teaching/relation_parse.py - parse_triple(correction_text) lifts
a correction utterance into a typed (head, relation, tail) over
the en_core_cognition_v1 relation vocabulary. Pure regex,
deterministic, no learned classifier.
generate/operators.py - transitive_walk(triples, head, relation,
*, max_hops=5) walks single-relation chains. path_recall walks
a relation-chain tuple (e.g. ("is", "precedes")). Both bounded,
cycle-safe, case-insensitive, first-write-wins on duplicates.
Schema extensions:
teaching.store.PackMutationProposal gains optional triple field,
populated by TeachingStore.add via parse_triple. Plus new
TeachingStore.triples() helper returning all parsed triples.
generate.intent.IntentTag gains TRANSITIVE_QUERY plus a relation
field on DialogueIntent. New regex rules for "What does X R?"
and "Where does X belong?" forms with relation normalisation.
core.cognition.result.CognitiveTurnResult gains operator_invocation
field (deterministic serialisation of any operator that ran).
core.cognition.trace.compute_trace_hash gains operator_invocation
kwarg; trace_hash_from_result threads it through. Operator
invocation is now load-bearing for replay equality.
Pipeline wiring:
CognitiveTurnPipeline.run dispatches transitive_walk after
runtime.chat() when the intent is TRANSITIVE_QUERY (with the
parsed relation) or DEFINITION (implicit "is"). Non-trivial walks
fold the chain endpoint into surface and articulation_surface.
Verification:
tests/test_inference_operators.py - 27 unit tests covering
parser, transitive_walk (cycles, max_hops, case-insensitivity,
determinism, first-write-wins), path_recall, and WalkResult shape.
Re-score on Phase 3 v1 case sets:
lane split v1 after bundle
inference-closure public/v1 0.0 1.0 pass
inference-closure holdouts/v1 0.0 1.0 pass
multi-step-reasoning public/v1 0.0 0.7333 pass
multi-step-reasoning holdouts/v1 0.0 0.8 pass
cross-domain-transfer public/v1 0.0 1.0 pass
cross-domain-transfer holdouts/v1 0.0 1.0 pass
compositionality public/v1 0.0625 0.3125 partial
compositionality holdouts/v1 0.0 0.3 partial
Six of eight splits now pass v1. Foundation guarantees
(premises_stored, replay_determinism) remain 1.0 across all lanes.
Trace_hash determinism preserved (operator records fold in
deterministically).
Residuals (filed as Phase 3 v2 follow-up):
- multi-step-reasoning mixed_relation_3/4 patterns need path_recall
wired into the pipeline for multi-relation probes; the operator
exists but the pipeline only invokes transitive_walk today.
- compositionality novel-combination patterns need a genuinely
new operator shape (composed_relation_walk) - the literal
transitive walk does not synthesise novel pairs by construction.
CLI suites smoke / cognition / teaching pass; no regression. 47
pipeline + teaching + operator tests all green.
Introduces teaching/ module with three-stage correction pipeline:
1. correction.py — extracts CorrectionCandidate from correction intents,
binding correction text to the prior turn it references
2. review.py — validates candidates: rejects identity overrides (17
marker patterns) and empty corrections; produces ReviewedTeachingExample
with deterministic SHA-256 review hash
3. store.py — bounded FIFO store for accepted examples; emits
PackMutationProposal objects instead of mutating the vocab manifold
directly; retrievable by subject
Design invariants:
- Identity override attempts are rejected at the review gate
- Pack mutations are proposal-only (applied=False by default)
- All traces are deterministic: same input → same candidate_id and review_hash
