Session journey: the deductive pivot (verified, not asserted), INV-25 independent-
gold ratification, the universal-structure + field<->symbol coherence-gate synthesis,
and the autonomous build of the foundation + 3-domain anti-overfit panel (#554-557).
Records the two field-as-reasoner findings (logic is combinatorial; independence must
live in the reading) that defer the geometric wedge to dedicated research.
Marks the deductive-logic runway's PR-1 (finite-entity grounding) and PR-2 (oracle
parity) as shipped via #556.
The first comprehension->structure compiler: evals/deductive_logic/grounding.py
lowers a typed finite-entity problem (finite entities + unary predicates +
single-variable universal rules) into the propositional regime the ADR-0206
entailment operator decides, refusal-first with a closed typed reason vocabulary
(unsafe_symbol / unknown_entity / unsupported_predicate_arity / unsupported_
quantifier / malformed_case / empty_case) and collision-safe atom slugging.
finite_entity/v1/cases.jsonl: 8 cases with INDEPENDENT (oracle-derived) gold
(4 entailed, 2 unknown, 1 refuted, 1 refused) — chained rules, conjunctive
bodies, negative heads, inconsistent premises. 20 tests gate engine==oracle==gold.
This is the second diversity-panel domain (distinct comprehension, same checkable
substrate) — the universal-structure thesis validated on a different problem shape,
with the anti-overfit >=2-domain discipline now live.
Phase 1.5 finding recorded: a clean geometric/algebraic propositional decoder
agrees 716/716 with the oracle but is O(2^n) (enumeration-class), so logic is the
wrong first domain for field-as-reasoner; the wedge redirects to quantitative-
relational structure where the field is the natural non-redundant decoder.
Declares SemanticSymbolicBindingGraph the universal problem-structure interlingua
(the corpus callosum where the geometric field and symbolic ROBDD decodings meet
and must agree). INV-26 enforces that neutrality structurally: 26a no binding-graph
module imports field/algebra/eval/vault/chat/core/sensorium; 26b the core imports
no domain reader (only allowlisted bridges adapter/question_target may); 26c proven
non-vacuous (flags pipeline.py's field import + the adapter's domain import).
Amends the plan doc with the structurally-diverse checkable panel (logic/grounding/
dimensional/execution/constraint, each with independent gold) and the 'a capability
change must move >=2 structurally-distinct domains or it is suspected overfitting'
rule, woven in from Phase 2 — the anti-overfit instrument the train_sample breach
proved we need.
Validated: architectural invariants 49 + binding_graph model = 118 passed.
Planning-only design doc for the comprehension->structure->solve->verify spine:
converge reading onto the binding-graph interlingua; field comprehends, structure
bridges, symbol verifies; their AGREEMENT is the wrong=0 gate and the genuine
second derivation that unblocks t2_precision. Field-as-reasoner must EARN each
domain against independent gold (Phase 1.5 wedge: field-decides-entailment vs
ROBDD oracle); never asserted unfalsifiably. INV-25 is Phase 0.
INV-25 makes the GSM8K lesson structural: no capability claim is valid unless
its gold is computed by a procedure sharing no code with the system under test.
Three meaningfully-failing checks (proven able to fail): 25a oracle imports no
SUT module (AST); 25b every committed deductive gold is reproduced by the
independent oracle AND matched by the engine; 25c an unsound engine disagrees
on committed cases.
SHA-pin the deductive lane (deductive_logic_v1, dev+holdout+external 716/716,
wrong=0, refused=0) via a deterministic --report writer + run_as_module (the
lane dir's local generate.py shadows the package in script mode) + CLAIMS regen.
Fix drift the review surfaced: contract.md + pivot doc claimed an 8,000/7,340
fuzz and an 'external mirror' -> corrected to the real gated 3,000-case fuzz
(2,796 definite) and 'hand-authored, NOT a published-benchmark mirror'; pivot
doc GSM8K holdout 0->5 (all 5 are R1 reconstruction; composer scored 0).
Validated: smoke 78, deductive 23, proof 29, invariants 44, lane-sha+claims 9.
Load-bearing strategic record: what the GSM8K chase got wrong (overfit
50-case ruler hiding a sealed wrong=0 breach), the held-out measurement
that exposed real capability=0% / composer 17% wrong, why GSM8K is the
wrong terrain for a deterministic verifiable engine, and the deductive-
logic path now (Phase 1 done: 500/500 held-out wrong=0, independent-
oracle verified) with phases 2-4 and the anti-recurrence disciplines.
Four genuine build-and-measure attempts on held-out, all falsified:
- composer 87 wrong, narrow reader 61 wrong, strict sum-reader 2 wrong (100%),
candidate-graph 0 admissible. Even 'exactly 2 numbers + total cue' cases are
multi-step in disguise. No sound committing strategy exists in this substrate.
All three GSM8K paths exhausted on the held-out 500:
- candidate-graph (sound filter): 0 admissible candidates built (498/500 build nothing)
- composer (open): 87 wrong
- narrow reader (open): 61 wrong
The sound path is wrong=0 only because it constructs no reading to commit. No sound
lift exists in the current substrate; confirmed empirically, three ways.
Built and measured two committing readers on held-out (not just diagnosed):
- resolve_pooled composer: 2 correct / 87 wrong (17%)
- maximally-narrow forced reader: 0 correct / 61 wrong (100% when it fires)
Shallow committing CANNOT be sound on real GSM8K (measured). The impasse:
- candidate-graph path is SOUND (wrong=0) but FROZEN by ADR-0207 §4, covers 0 real
- composer is OPEN (ADR-0207 §5) but UNSOUND (17% wrong, no separating gate)
ADR-0207's premise (composer is the wrong=0-safe path) is FALSIFIED by held-out data;
'feed the composer' is a path to more confabulation. Needs a follow-up ADR.
The result that should have been visible for weeks. Measured on the new holdout_dev
lane (500 real held-out cases) + sealed test:
- real capability 0% (train_sample's 4 correct generalize to 0/500 held-out)
- resolve_pooled (the composition substrate) commits 17.4% WRONG on held-out
- NO structural gate (step/pool/op) separates its 2 correct from 87 wrong -> the
composer cannot tell right readings from wrong; gating it is overfitting
- the only wrong=0 policy on real GSM8K is refusal (current serving 0/0/500)
Real lift needs a verifiable reading mechanism, not composer tuning. Non-serving (docs).
The FIRST real sealed measurement (operator-decrypted 1,319 held-out GSM8K)
found `0 correct / 5 WRONG` — a wrong=0 breach hidden for weeks because the
working metric was the 50-case train sample the bridges were tuned to. Bisection
isolated it to the product_bridge serving promotion (ADR-0195).
- generate/math_candidate_graph.py: REMOVE both serving promotion bridges
(product_bridge + goal_residual/ADR-0207 §5 step 2). Serving = main-graph-only.
Restores sealed 0/0/1319 (verified by bisect: disabling product_bridge -> 0 wrong).
Production modules remain in generate/derivation/; only serving promotion is
unwired, until a gate is proven wrong=0 on the SEALED set (never the train sample).
- Honest numbers everywhere: train_sample 7/43/0 -> 4/46/0 (the bridges' "correct"
was train-overfit). report.json + coverage probe regenerated. 7 ADR test lanes
de-pinned from the inflated count. corpus: cv-0005 (R4) reverts to refuse; cv-0020
(a "baseline control" that solved ONLY via product_bridge) reclassified.
- docs/claims_ledger.md: dated wrong=0-breach-and-remediation note + the rule:
the train_sample number had ZERO predictive validity for the exam; never the score.
- docs/analysis/gsm8k-lift-program-strategy: the program to actually move the 1,319.
NOTE the exit gate stays `correct>=10 AND wrong==0` — refusing-everything is an
explicit FAIL, not a wrong=0 pass; serving still commits (main graph). Verified:
broad regression 848 passed, smoke 73 passed.
Authority-ratified per the ADR-0207 convention (Accepted (ratified DATE)):
- ADR-0181 (audio), ADR-0197 (vision), ADR-0208 (environmental loop),
ADR-0209 (sensorimotor afferent) -> Accepted (ratified 2026-06-03).
All four are implemented + test-backed (0208/0209 falsifiability deeply
verified in the lookback; 0181/0197 backed by CRDT-merge/compiler/mount/
eval-gate suites, all green in the 182-test sweep).
- ADR-0198 deliberately NOT ratified: partially-implemented spike (Gap A +
fail-closed efferent gate landed; \xc2\xa73 verdict-lowering + motor decoder
deferred behind a dedicated motor governance ADR).
CLAUDE.md Work Sequencing now records the sensorium/modalities arc as a
sanctioned parallel track that does not displace the near-term sequence and
is disjoint from the GSM8K serving path. Markdown only; no test asserts ADR
status or the work-sequencing text.
Wires the R4 goal-residual production to serving via
resolve_promotable_goal_residual (math_candidate_graph.py, mirroring
product_bridge). cv-0005 / train_sample 0037 now solves on serving as
goal - Σprogress = 10 - 3 - 4 = 3. First Phase-5b composition lift on serving.
wrong=0 preserved on every runnable surface:
- train_sample 6/44/0 -> 7/43/0 (0037 added; 6 prior correct intact; wrong=0).
- Fires on 2/455 visible GSM8K cases, both correct, ZERO wrong.
- Gain-goal divergence firewall proves it reads the GOAL, not a possession.
- smoke 73, math+invariants 53, derivation/pool/practice 341, corpus, all green.
Lockstep updates (the ratified metric move, 6/44/0 -> 7/43/0):
- report.json; 7 ADR test lanes that pinned 6/44/0; corpus cv-0005 baseline
fields + snapshot (4/18 -> 5/17) + contract; plan-doc cv-0018 control fix.
⚠ SEALED MEASUREMENT REQUIRED — NOT DONE. The sealed 1,319 (encrypted, not
CI-reproducible) is the real bar (ADR-0207 §6) and was NOT re-measured. The
operator/CI must decrypt+run it and confirm sealed wrong==0; if wrong>0, revert
the resolve_promotable_goal_residual block (isolated). See
docs/handoff/sealed-measurement-obligation-2026-06-04.md.
DefaultEfferentGate is a capability/shape pre-filter only; it does not
lower decoded actions into safety/ethics pack verdicts (ADR-0198 §3 /
§1.2 Gap B). ModalityRegistry.decode/decode_batch now refuse fail-closed
any emission through a gate whose enforces_action_verdicts is False,
unless an explicit allow_unverified_efferent sandbox opt-in is set.
A real motor decoder thus cannot emit through the capability-only gate;
the §3 verdict-lowering gate must be built and installed first. No
production caller of the decode path exists today, so this closes the
latent hazard before a motor decoder makes it load-bearing. Adds two
falsifiable tests (fail-closed refusal; verdict-enforcing gate allowed).
Disjoint from the GSM8K serving path.
ADR-0181/0197/0208/0209 were marked Proposed despite test-backed
afferent implementations merged to main; flip to Accepted with
verifiable Implementation lines (paths + PRs + falsifiable tests).
ADR-0198's 'no implementation' status was stale (Gap A protocol
change + baseline efferent gate landed in #541); correct it and
document the deferred §3 safety/ethics verdict-lowering as an
explicit blocking obligation before any motor decoder mounts.
Three reviewed, non-serving analysis/handoff docs for the COMPOSITION lever.
Read-only; no serving code; train_sample 6/44/0 untouched.
- analysis/wiring-promotion-gate-brief: product_bridge is the only serving
derivation tendril (two-token target whitelist); resolve_pooled refuses all
ten R1/R4/R5/R6 positives and wrong-commits 0016 -> 510. Wiring is trivial;
the gate is the work.
- analysis/composition-wall-execution-plan: per-case stage taxonomy (A/B/C/D)
for all 15 corpus positives, reproduced live; R4-first scope (new
goal-residual production, verified by code-read of accumulate.py, NOT a
target tweak); promotion gate generalizes product_bridge, never disagreement
alone; gates inherit ADR-0207 §6 (corpus + sealed 1,319).
- handoff/stage-c-composition-investigation: dispatch task for the execution
lane to pin the per-case bail for the production-wrong shapes (the real
grouping/op-order wall), read-only, in-tree.
Reading the actual gate logic (product_bridge/pool/verify) corrected §5's
sequencing optimism, before merge:
- The safe wire is already done (product_bridge at :530); its safety is a
two-token target whitelist (money+make/earn, weight+total/move) hardcoded to
0003/0021 — it generalizes nothing.
- Verified live (2026-06-03): the general composer resolve_pooled refuses ALL
ten R1/R4/R5/R6 corpus positives (R1/R4 build zero candidates; R5 only wrong
ones) -> wiring yields +0 correct; and it wrong-commits 0016 -> 510, so wiring
it wholesale is a live wrong=0 regression the disagreement rule does not catch.
So WIRING and COMPOSITION are the same task: composer production per shape, each
behind a structural promotion gate (extract_target + target_units, not
disagreement alone); the wire is the trivial last step. Core ratification
(freeze, design-of-record, gates, sealed-set measurement) unchanged.
Phase 5a (retire the inert GSM8K scoring-path comprehension-reader
dispatch, -1,038 LOC) landed in 3fd3172, an ancestor of HEAD 8327c6b,
but composition-capability-scope.md still listed it as remaining work --
drift that mis-scoped a downstream brief. Re-anchor the canonical doc to
the tree:
- §1: the lifecycle.py GSM8K-scoring dispatch row now reads "retired in
Phase 5a (3fd3172)" instead of "inert ... retirable in 5a".
- §2: Phase 5a marked SHIPPED with a runway-status banner; the §9
completeness-gate precondition marked LANDED (PR #534, e1bcdf6).
- §4: sequencing restructured -- items 0 (§9 precondition), 1 (gating
analysis), 3 (5a) are DONE; the live runway starts at item 2 (the
<=20-case validation sub-corpus), then Phase 5b.
- §9: status banner noting the recommended guard landed (#534); the
"RED on main" statements are the pre-landing measurement, kept for
provenance.
Docs-only. No code/eval/serving change. Baseline re-verified at HEAD:
train_sample 6/44/0 (all 44 refusals at branches_enumerated=0),
completeness-guard suite 21 passed.
Adds the first consumer of CORE's two built epistemic substrates — the
decode-state taxonomy (core/epistemic_state.py) and the risk-reward
reliability gate (core/reliability_gate/, ADR-0175) — beginning to close
the LABEL-ONLY consumption gap they sat behind.
Ships the scaffold only:
- core/response_governance/policy.py — ReachLevel (STRICT < APPROXIMATE <
EXTRAPOLATE < CREATIVE), ReachPolicy, govern_response (STRICT-only stub),
shape_surface (STRICT = identity transform; higher levels real but
unreachable in production), and the 9/5/1 EpistemicState partition.
- chat/runtime.py — cognition-path seam: the response surface now flows
through shape_surface(govern_response(...)). STRICT = identity, so the
path is byte-identical to pre-bridge. reach_level carried on ChatResponse.
- core/physics/identity.py — reach_level on TurnEvent (default "strict").
wrong==0 untouched: select_self_verified is NOT touched (ADR-0206 §5);
reach_level is NOT added to the telemetry JSONL dict, so pinned lane SHAs
stay byte-identical. Widening, SITUATE/FEED-BACK, the math-serving seam,
and the EVIDENCED reconcile are deferred to their own PRs.
Tests (tests/test_response_governance.py): STRICT-only contract over all
states x license x stakes, STRICT identity, live-wiring proof (forces
APPROXIMATE -> policy-sensitive surface), total+disjoint taxonomy
partition. Each fails loudly under the violation it guards.
Phase 2.3: the first inference rule + the wrong=0 mechanism for proofs.
- generate/proof_chain/rules.py: evaluate_modus_ponens / evaluate_proof_conclusion.
Proof-layer dispatch (Option B) over proposition FORMULAS via the canonicalizer;
never touches check_admissibility/_resolve_dep_units (proofs have no units).
Disagreement rule = the select_self_verified twin: pool ALL admissible single-step
MP derivations, require a unique canonical key == declared conclusion. Pooling (not
filter-to-declared-first) is the soundness mechanism.
- generate/logic_canonical.py: parse_top_implication (+ _unparse) — recovers an
implication's syntactic antecedent/consequent (the ROBDD form doesn't preserve it).
- Closed typed-reason set; the corpus's finer labels consolidate (6 disagreement
refuse-labels -> conclusion_disagreement; 4 antecedent-flavor labels ->
unestablished_antecedent — same redundancy, same mechanism-makes-one-distinction
principle).
- Honesty boundary (exact scope): guarantees a unique conclusion among SINGLE-STEP MP
over the premises, NOT "uniquely entailed" by all strategies.
Cross-check: all 24 GPT-5.5 adversarial corpus cases agree on OUTCOME against the real
rule (no rule bug / no corpus outcome-misread); reasons consolidate as above.
Mutation: filter-to-declared-first makes DISAGREE-007/010 wrongly admit -> pooling
tests fail (pooling load-bearing).
Drive-by fix (cleanup-as-you-find): merged ADR-0204 ProofNode.__post_init__ was
dedented to module level -> all ProofNode validation was silently DEAD (smoke skips
the dedicated test file; the smoke != full-suite hazard). Re-indented; validation
restored.
Additive (math lane untouched). Full binding-graph surface green; smoke 67.
Phase 2.2, structure only (no inference rule — modus_ponens is 2.3). Translates a
Proof into a SemanticSymbolicBindingGraph; the ADR-0203 acyclicity guard + ADR-0132
referential integrity fire at construction.
- generate/proof_chain/model.py: the one canonical proof input shape (ProofNode/Proof
+ proof_from_premises desugaring of the corpus premises/conclusion shape).
- generate/proof_chain/builder.py: build_proof_graph — node→symbol+equation;
canonical_key→rhs_canonical, depends_on→dependencies, rule→operation_kind;
premises = empty-deps/op="premise"; unit_proof=PROOF_NO_UNIT, admissibility="pending";
conclusion tracked as conclusion_symbol_id.
- tests: 9 — valid DAG (PC-MP-001 desugared) + multistep construct; PC-CYCLE-001
refuses THROUGH the real builder (circular_dependency); canonical_key round-trips
byte-identical + equivalent formulas share rhs_canonical; admissibility-dispatch
confirmation; self/dangling refusals; out-of-regime node refuses. Mutation-verified
(drop dep-wiring -> cycle admitted -> test fails).
Admissibility dispatch confirmed graceful on proof operation_kinds: unknown kinds
-> AdmissibilityError(unknown_operation), unitless deps -> unit_unbound; NEVER
misroutes into _check_additive. Named 2.3 constraint: check_admissibility runs
_resolve_dep_units before dispatch, so modus_ponens must bypass unit-resolution.
Open items named for 2.3 (ADR-0204): conclusion typing (BoundUnknown revisit),
semantic_role="unknown" (closed vocab has no "proposition"), unit_proof sentinel.
Additive (first consumer; math lane untouched). Full binding-graph surface green;
smoke 67. Honesty boundary: through 2.3, sound over declared atoms, not grounded in input.
GPT-5.5's independent corpus caught that the canonicalizer refused quantified/
predicate input only by accident (tokenizer chokes on '.'), not by design — a
by-luck-not-by-design refusal the wrong=0 discipline rejects. ADR-0202 §3 names a
typed `out_of_decidable_regime` refusal; the keystone emitted a generic grammar error.
- logic_canonical.py: LogicRegimeError(LogicError) + OUT_OF_DECIDABLE_REGIME;
_reject_out_of_regime_text (quantifier words forall/exists + symbols ∀/∃, pre-scan)
and _reject_out_of_regime_tokens (predicate-application ATOM-then-LPAREN), run BEFORE
the generic grammar error. Refusal only — no predicate/FOL capability added.
- logic_equivalence.py: typed regime branch (before the generic LogicError branch).
- tests: 43 total (10 new) — OOR refuses with typed reason; equivalence path too;
genuine grammar errors stay plain LogicError (no over-fire); `not (P)` not mistaken
for predicate application. Mutation-verified by-design (neuter -> falls through to
generic grammar error).
- ADR-0201.1: additive sub-ADR of 0201 (not an amendment; sub-number preserves the
landed ADR-0203 forward refs + phase-2 plan numbering). Honesty boundary load-bearing.
Corpus now 22/22 (PC-OOR-001/002 agree on the principled reason). Full canonicalizer
suite green; smoke 67 passed. modus_ponens rule-reasons remain deferred to ADR-0205 (2.3).
proof_chain phase 2.1: the acyclicity guard at the shared binding-graph
construction boundary, before phase 2.2 wiring can build a cyclic-capable structure.
- generate/binding_graph/acyclicity.py: pure find_cycle(adjacency) detector
(deterministic three-colour DFS; isolated, no model import).
- model.py __post_init__: builds {lhs: deps} adjacency over equations and raises
BindingGraphError(circular_dependency ...) on a cycle. Runs on every binding
graph (math + future proof) — illegal states unrepresentable for all consumers.
- tests/test_binding_graph_acyclicity.py: 17 tests (pure checker + construction
enforcement); mutation-verified non-vacuous.
- ADR-0203: new ADDITIVE invariant referencing ADR-0132 (not an amendment —
preserves the why-added-later history).
Math-lane regression proof: the only producer (math adapter) is acyclic by
construction (fresh result symbol per op, deps point backward); full
binding-graph + admissibility surface 392 green; guard refuses no existing graph.
Honesty boundary (load-bearing): through phase 2.3, proof_chain is SOUND OVER
DECLARED ATOMS, not grounded in recognized input (grounding is phase 2.4).
full binding-graph/admissibility surface: 392 passed. smoke: 67 passed.
1-page exec + backing brief for a first technical conversation, written to
survive a skeptical CTO. Every number/status sourced to docs/claims_ledger.md;
substrate-beneath-BrainOS framing held (not perception/motor); verify block is
fresh-clone-green. Prepared for internal review — not for distribution.
Reconcile every artifact that asserted the (since auto-reverted) mathematics_logic
expert promotion to the live machine state. Determinism proven intact (Week-1a):
the digest divergence is genuine single-source evidence-drift (GSM8K coverage probe
3/47 -> 4/46 via #310/#488), not a non-determinism defect. ADR-0120's fail-closed
property fired as designed; CORE revoked its own expert claim.
History keeps receipts; current-state reconciles to truth:
- Regenerate expert_claims_math_v1_signed.json -> promote_admitted:false,
reviewer_signature_matches:false, digest 02f6d3c8.
- reviewers.yaml math_expert_claims: quarantine note; entry kept (mismatch-refusal
keeps firing); intentionally NOT re-signed.
- ADR-0120-math-expert-ledger-flip: dated valid-at/auto-reverted header note.
- README: "next gate" narrative -> built-attempted-reverted; refresh stale count.
- docs/decisions/README: revert note + ADR-0200 index row.
- 3 fail-closed tests (2 files): "is-expert" -> fail-closed-revert assertions.
Were RED on main; now green (30 passed).
No eval gate, threshold, or safety boundary changed.
Add docs/claims_ledger.md (every public claim -> in-repo evidence, with the
four GSM8K numbers separated and labeled) and ADR-0200 recording the
mathematics_logic expert fail-closed revert as designed behavior (proven
single-source evidence-drift; determinism intact).
Additive only: no existing claim, eval gate, or test is touched. The
review-gated reconciliation diffs (reviewers.yaml quarantine note, ADR-0120
header note, signed-JSON regen, README narrative, 3 test reconciliations) are
listed in ADR-0200 section 4 and await operator ratification.
The decisions README index table stopped at ADR-0183 then jumped to
ADR-0196, omitting every top-level ADR that landed in between plus the
three newest. PRs #513/#514/#515 added ADR-0197/0198/0199 files without
touching the index; the 0184-0195 gap predates them.
Adds 12 rows in numeric order with title + status pulled from each ADR
header. No content/runtime change; pure index backfill.
- files-vs-index drift check: now empty (was 12)
- all 12 new link targets verified to resolve
Single portable 'where we are / what's next' page for the Zig native-substrate
work: gate status per component, the locked G1 CRDT contract, the immediate
next action (a new ADR to clear G2 before any Zig code), env gotchas
(PYO3_PYTHON=3.12; the public_demo wall-clock lane flake), and verification
commands. Lets any operator/agent resume cold.
Sibling links resolve once #509 (docs/zig/**) lands on main; merge #509 first.
Establishes the canonical Delta-CRDT reference contract so a future native
(Rust/Zig) backend is gate-G1-eligible under ADR-0196 — the ZC-0 'contract
pinning' slice. No Zig code; ZC-1+ remains gated at G2.
- vault/crdt.py: canonical Python reference (ArenaEntry, Delta, LocalArena,
merge_kernel, canonical_bytes, delta_hash). Pure content law — content-
addressed by IEEE-754 bits then provenance; no normalization, no versor
closure, no global Vault writes.
- ZC-0 contract tests (semilattice C-1..C-5; content ordering / signed-zero /
NaN bit-addressing; C-7 no-global-write) — all failable (mutation-checked:
no-dedup breaks C3/C5, arrival-order breaks C1).
- Golden fixture corpus (tests/fixtures/crdt/) regenerated deterministically
from the reference; single source of truth also emits the Rust expected hex.
- core-rs: Delta::canonical_bytes + test_crdt_hash_parity.rs proving Rust
produces byte-identical canonical_bytes to the Python reference.
- ADR-0180 -> Accepted: locked contract, byte layout, obligation map, and the
explicit boundary that no Zig is authorized.
Verification: ZC-0 21 passed, Rust arena+parity 16 passed, architectural
invariants 40 passed, smoke 67 passed. Serving frozen: 7/8 lane SHAs match;
the public_demo miss is a pre-existing wall-clock budget overrun (ADR-0099,
~46-48s > 30s) reproduced identically on clean main — environmental.
First foundation-curriculum substrate pack: 24 reviewed noun lemmas for
syntax/claim/provenance vocabulary (subject, predicate, agent_role,
clause, antecedent, consequent_role, polarity, negation, evidence_span,
…). Substrate only — no parser, no runtime generation change.
This is the clean reland of #503 (merged then reverted via #508 for
shipping two failing tests). Root cause of the revert was lemma
collision: the smoke CI gate does not collect dedicated test files, so
the pack merged green while its own test asserted resolver routings that
were false.
Reland fixes, with the full collision audit done against every on-disk
pack (not just the one the original author checked):
- agent -> agent_role (bare `agent` owned by en_core_meta_v1)
- comparison -> comparison_relation(bare `comparison` owned by en_core_cognition_v1)
- consequent -> consequent_role (bare `consequent` owned by en_core_causation_v1)
- negation kept bare on purpose: no *mounted* pack owned it
(en_mathematics_logic_v1 is a domain pack, not in
DEFAULT_RESOLVABLE_PACK_IDS), so mounting syntax now grounds a word
that previously returned None. Renaming would have lost grounding.
The original test also mis-asserted prior resolution: it claimed
`cause` -> en_core_causation_v1, but first-match-wins resolves it to
en_core_cognition_v1 (mounted at index 0). The test now pins the TRUE
current owner; this pack does not change it.
Resolver: en_core_syntax_v1 mounted after en_core_polarity_v1 and before
en_core_relations_v1 — purely additive, steals no prior resolution.
Evidence:
- tests/test_en_core_syntax_v1_pack.py: 13/13 (was 4 failed, 9 passed)
- pack/resolver/grounding/invariants blast radius: 415 passed
- core test --suite smoke: 67 passed
- core test --suite packs: 1 failed, 140 passed — the single failure
(test_lilibeth_canary_solves_end_to_end, GSM8K candidate-graph reader)
is PRE-EXISTING on clean main f79b647, byte-identical, and untouched by
this PR.
- lane SHAs: 7/8 content-match; the public_demo miss is a wall-clock
DemoContractError (>30s budget), not content drift — serving frozen.
PR checklist:
- Capability: foundation-curriculum language substrate vocabulary.
- Field invariant: pack loads through checksum-sealed compiler; no
algebra/versor path touched.
- Lane: core test --suite packs / smoke; dedicated pack test.
- No hidden normalization, stochastic fallback, approximate recall, or
unreviewed mutation.
- Trust boundary: language-pack loading only; manifest checksums hash the
exact bytes on disk (recomputed after the two renames).
Bring the docs/zig/** decision package and README 'Native Substrate
Direction' section into main, and record ADR-0196 (Accepted) as the
binding ratification.
The doctrine is explicitly NOT a wholesale Zig rewrite. It establishes a
ring architecture (Python = semantic source of truth; Rust = incumbent
algebra backend; Zig = Ring 1 native-substrate candidate only) and the
G0-G8 adoption gate ladder. Zig may enter only by clearing gates against
a locked reference contract; default-by-availability is forbidden.
ADR-0196 forward-references ADR-0180 as the first G1 instantiation (the
CRDT contract lock / ZC-0 slice). No Zig code is authorized.
Execution-free brief for the read-only GitHub-connector lane: comprehension-
primitive inventory, question-layer gap survey, subject-readiness recommendation,
then gated capability-axis/ADR/corpus drafts. Proposal-only; serving stays frozen
(wrong=0, pinned lanes). Companion to the Claude execute/validate/commit lane.
Narrow product promotion boundary (`generate/derivation/product_bridge.py`)
wired into `generate/math_candidate_graph.py`: only complete pure-product
derivations with a product-target question and no known hazard surface lift
from the sealed pooled derivation reader into serving.
- Serving train_sample: 4/46/0 → 6/44/0, wrong=0; case 0050 still refused.
- Renumbered from the collided ADR-0194 (labeled-container, #499) to ADR-0195
and rebased onto current main.
CI: smoke + verify-pinned-lane-SHAs green on the merge commit.
GSM8K labels containers/regions with a trailing single-letter or short-numeric
label ('Jar A has 28 marbles', 'Section G has 10 cars', 'District 2 has 19
voters'); the initial-possession entity slot captured only 'Jar' and the label
broke the match. Adds a separate sibling pattern _INITIAL_HAS_LABELED_RE
(mirroring ADR-0136.S.4 localisation) that REQUIRES the label, so the global
_ENTITY is unchanged and bare subjects yield no duplicate candidate.
- Composes with ADR-0193 aggregate question: 'Jar A has 28 marbles. Jar B has
12 marbles. How many marbles are there in total?' -> 40.0.
- 0 real-corpus metric flip (honest substrate): the one real multi-container
aggregate additionally needs comparative + multiplicative + lowercase-ref.
- wrong=0 HOLDS full corpus (7,473 q); train_sample byte-identical 4/46/0;
synthetic-registry capability-axis gate + G5 lane green; smoke 67 passed.
- Label bounded by the possession verb: multi-word nouns ('Jar Apple') do NOT
match. wrong=0 held downstream by completeness + round-trip + disagreement.

Extends ADR-0131.G.5's total-across aggregate branch with the existential
verb frame 'How many <unit> are there <cue>?' over the SAME closed cue
vocabulary (no cue-set widening). The solver already sums entity=None
total-across; the wall was purely the question parser's verb-frame coverage.
- Composes end-to-end: 'Jamie has 28 marbles. Kyle has 12 marbles. How many
marbles are there in total?' -> 40.0 (load-bearing, not inert).
- 23 real GSM8K problems now parse the question (advance past the Q-wall to
the statement-parse wall).
- wrong=0 HOLDS on the full 7,473-q corpus; train_sample byte-identical
4/46/0; no metric delta (composition-wall lesson, third instance).
- Cross-ADR discipline: 'What is the total number of <unit>?' is DEFERRED,
not contradicted — ADR-0131.G.5 pins it as a refusal probe; promoting it
must amend that ADR's closed-cue contract. test_total_number_of_still_deferred
locks the boundary.
Firewall: completeness guard (ADR-0191) + question round-trip refuse conjoined
('dogs and cats') and derived ('animal legs') units. G5 lane + synthetic-registry
wrong=0 capability-axis gate green; smoke 67 passed.

The discrete_count matcher gated the counted noun on a CLOSED ratified set
(observed_counted_nouns): 'Betty has 24 marbles' matched, 'Randy has 60 mango
trees' / 'Sam has 12 red apples' did not — purely because the noun was unseen.
Open the single-anchor possession/acquisition path to an open noun phrase
(adjective* + 1-3 word head, bounded by a stop-word lookahead so it never
swallows a trailing PP), keeping every other narrowness layer (proper-noun
subject, verb whitelist, single numeric token, no clause-split). Closed
observed nouns still match (capitalized compounds preserved); compound
enumeration stays closed.
Safe because ADR-0191 moved the wrong=0 guarantee downstream: an open-vocab
mis-parse hits the completeness guard + round-trip + branch-disagreement.
Proof: full real corpus 61->494 discrete_count anchors (8x), wrong=0 HOLDS,
zero confabulations.
Substrate PR — 0 metric delta by design (train_sample byte-identical 4/46/0;
the problems still need composition downstream). Value: the foundation every
discrete_count flip consumes, and empirical proof open-vocab is firewall-safe.

* fix(adr-0191): candidate-graph completeness guard — real-corpus wrong 5->0
The candidate-graph reader (serving) checked grounding + round-trip but had
no completeness obligation, so problems whose later clauses failed to parse
emitted a partial reading. Over the full 7,473-question real GSM8K train
split this confabulated 5 answers (wrong!=0) the 47-case train_sample hid;
2 were regressions from #488.
Add the missing admissibility leg (mirrors the derivation reader's verify.py):
every source quantity (all statements + question) must be consumed by the
chosen reading, else refuse. Refusal-only -> cannot create a wrong answer.
Number-sense is pack-authoritative (en_numerics_v1 parse_compound_cardinal +
lookup_multiplier + all 6 currency symbols) so it never disagrees with the
engine; aggregating initials expose consumed_value_tokens provenance.
Evidence: real-corpus wrong 5->0, correct held at 4; train_sample byte-
identical 4/46/0; G1-G5+S1+G3.1 green; smoke 67 passed; math_teaching_corpus
lane byte-identical.

* feat(adr-0191): committed full-corpus GSM8K microscope (standing wrong=0 + coverage instrument)
Promotes the throwaway tmp/ microscope that found the 5 confabulations into a
committed tool. Runs the canonical serving reader over any GSM8K corpus and
reports failures-first: correct/wrong/refused, every wrong answer by name,
refusal families, and the no-injection per-category coverage map that ranks
which injector to build next by real frequency.
Default corpus is the committed 47-case train_sample (always available);
--corpus path runs the full real split. This is the ADR-0191 follow-up: re-run
after every capability PR, not just train_sample — a flip is only real if it
does not widen the confabulation surface.

The attempt/score/ledger half existed (run_practice -> ClassTally scored vs
gold); nothing consulted the gate to turn earned reliability into a ratifiable
proposal. Adds core/reliability_gate/propose.py (propose_from_ledger +
RatifiableProposal): for each class, license_for(PROPOSE) emits a proposal iff
its conservative Wilson floor (0 below N_MIN=10) clears theta=0.85. Refusals
never penalize; deterministic; PROPOSAL-ONLY (never a serving mutation).
propose_runner.py closes the loop end-to-end with an aggressive sealed scorer
(resolve_pooled): practice 95c/5w/50r -> ONE proposal (additive, reliability
0.8608>=0.85, 95/100); 5 wrongs tolerated but floor held; rest stayed sealed.
The gold-tethered autonomous contemplation: the engine earns the right to ASK,
not to SERVE. 11 failing-under-violation tests.
* feat(adr-0189): comparative reading — anchor-verb widening + multi-word units
The candidate-graph comparative extractor (ADR-0131.G.2) read only has/have +
single-word units, so real-GSM8K comparatives ('Brooke does three times as many
jumping jacks as Sidney') didn't parse — a dark statement in 17 places blocking
15 of the 47 refused train_sample cases, despite the ADR-0123 solver already
supporting compare_additive/compare_multiplicative.
Widens the anchor-verb set (reusing legacy vetted lemmas + does/collected/
gained/studied…), EXCLUDING polarity-inverting verbs (lose/spend/give/sell/win)
to preserve wrong=0; admits 1-2 word units via the existing multi-word
_unit_grounds branch. Feeds the existing solver unchanged.
wrong=0 proven: G2_comparatives 29/29, G3 20/0, G4 32/32, train_sample 3/47/0
byte-identical; polarity-inverting verbs proven refused (failing-under-violation).
Chain composes correctly in isolation (146 -> 438). Flips 0 cases ALONE — every
comparative case needs a composing partner (aggregation / multi-word-noun
injection); this ships the component, not yet a flip.
- generate/math_candidate_parser.py: _comparison_anchor_verb widening + 1-2 word
unit slots in the two multiplicative comparative regexes.
- tests/test_adr_0131_G2a_*: 5 tests incl. polarity-inversion wrong=0 guards.
- docs/decisions/ADR-0189: gap, change, wrong=0 evidence, honest scope.
* feat(adr-0189a): first metric move 3/47/0 -> 4/46/0 (case 0024, comprehension-composed)
Case 0024 now SOLVES (answer 438) by composing three general comprehension
capabilities feeding the unchanged ADR-0123 solver:
1. day-of-week count enumeration: Sidney = 20+36+40+50 = 146
(_day_enumeration_candidates; derived sum grounds via first count token,
mirroring _embedded_quantifier; closed to the 7 day names)
2. comparative reading (ADR-0189): Brooke = 3 x Sidney
3. activity question 'How many <unit> did <Entity> <verb>?' (_Q_DID_RE)
Plus do/does/did added to the CandidateInitial anchor whitelist (production-
possession), admitted only via the closed day-enumeration shape.
wrong=0 PROVEN across every lane: all 8 capability axes wrong=0 (G2_comparatives
29/29, G3 20/0, G4 32/32, G5/S1/S3/S4 all pass), train_sample 4/46/0 wrong=0,
verify_lane_shas exit 0 (no pinned lane changed), generate_claims --check OK.
872 tests pass; new tests are failing-under-violation incl. wrong=0 guards
(non-day comma list not summed; polarity-inverting comparative verbs refused).
Re-baselined report.json + train_sample_coverage_report.json (latter also clears
pre-existing reason drift) + CLAIMS.md to the new 4/46/0 metric. Decode-not-guess:
0024 solved by READING its structure, not storing an answer. Remaining pre-existing
failures (G3 committed-report, telemetry) unrelated, fail on pristine main.
- generate/math_candidate_parser.py: day-enum extractor + _Q_DID_RE + does-anchor.
- tests/test_adr_0189a_day_enum_activity.py: 5 tests (incl. end-to-end 0024=438).
- docs/decisions/ADR-0189a + report.json/coverage/CLAIMS re-baseline.
* docs(adr-0186): sealed candidate-graph injector lane (resume ADR-0170 W2-W5 under ADR-0175 seal)
Topology audit found two disjoint GSM8K readers: the candidate-graph reader
owns the official 3/47/0 metric and already has divide/multiply/compare; its
wall is the recognizer->injection coverage gap (ADR-0170 W2-W5 backlog), not
arithmetic. The derivation reader (resolve_pooled) is a separate sealed organ
that cannot reach the goal without an unbuilt Phase-5 bridge.
ADR-0186 reconciles ADR-0170's injector roadmap with ADR-0175's serving seal:
develop W2-W5 injectors behind a default-off 'sealed' flag on inject_from_match,
measured on a new report_sealed.json, with frozen 3/47/0 byte-identical until a
reviewed Phase-5 promotion. wrong=0 gated on both paths.
Live-loop instrumentation found a schema-vs-extraction split: rate_with_currency
and temporal_aggregation matchers already extract full anchors (blocked on the
CandidateRate union / apply_rate primitive), while discrete_count/currency/
multiplicative are blocked on matcher extraction. And no refused case is one
injector away - every case is multi-statement, so the unit of measurable
progress is a target case's complete injector+composition set. Sequencing:
seal mechanism first, CandidateRate schema next, then a first complete
target-case unlock.
* feat(adr-0186): sealed candidate-graph injector lane mechanism (default-off)
Adds the seal mechanism for developing ADR-0170 W2-W5 injectors without
mutating the frozen serving metric:
- inject_from_match(match, sentence, *, sealed=False): when sealed=True,
consults the new _SEALED_INJECTORS table first; default-off never touches it.
- _SEALED_INJECTORS: empty at land (this PR ships the mechanism; the first
sealed capability is the CandidateRate schema, ADR-0186 §5.3).
- parse_and_solve(text, *, sealed=False): threads the flag to the per-statement
injection site. The seal is injector eligibility, not a forked reader.
wrong=0 guarantees (tests/test_adr_0186_sealed_injector_lane.py, failing-
under-violation): empty seal is a strict no-op; a registered sealed injector
admits ONLY under sealed=True and is invisible to the frozen path; train_sample
report stays 3/47/0. Verified: coverage probe 3/47/0 byte-identical, smoke +
architectural invariants green, 288 candidate-graph/recognizer tests pass (2
pre-existing failures unrelated, confirmed on unmodified main).
* docs(adr-0185): mark superseded by ADR-0186 (premise refuted by topology audit)
The topology audit proved ADR-0185's premise ('the engine cannot divide') is
true only of the derivation reader, which is disjoint from the candidate-graph
reader that owns the official 3/47/0 metric. The goal organ already divides;
its wall is injection coverage. ADR-0185 is retained as a record, not
implemented; cross-referenced from ADR-0186 §header.
* docs(adr-0184): scope the distinct-unit product rule — cut the product-of-all over-commit
The 47-refusal coverage diagnostic surfaced that the headline 3/47/0 (serving
recognizer) hides the sealed comprehension reader's real state: resolve_pooled over
the 50 real train_sample cases is 2 correct / 13 WRONG / 35 refused. The confuser
probe's wrong=0 was a misleading proxy — all 13 real wrongs are the whole-text
product-of-all, the unique complete candidate, committed unopposed.
Scopes the first lever, decided by MEASURING candidate refusal rules against the real
metric (correct up, wrong down on train_sample):
baseline 2 / 13 / 35
distinct-unit product (chosen) 2 / 8 / 40 <- cuts 5, zero coverage loss
product spans >1 clause 1 / 4 / 45 <- destroys correct 0003
drop all products 0 / 2 / 48
The distinct-unit rule: multiply/divide may compose DISTINCT units but a multiply
step whose operand repeats a non-empty unit already in the product (apples x apples,
cards x cards) is unit-incoherence -> refuse (unit^2 is never the answer). Empty-unit
operands exempt (0003 multiplies a blank-unit 0.75). Dimensional, not lexical
(ADR-0165-safe); refines verify.py clause 3 shared by self_verifies + classify.
Honest scope: 13->8, NOT 0. The remaining 8 are distinct-unit products in the wrong
shape (rate problems) = cue precision (ADR-0177 CP-2b), the next lever, NOT to be
faked with a per-case rule. Establishes the real scoreboard (resolve_pooled over
train_sample) and notes the ratification bridge (ADR-0175 Phase 5) as the separate
dependency for any of this to reach the serving headline.
Spec only; serving 3/47/0 untouched (verify is not on the serving path).
* feat(adr-0184): distinct-unit product rule — sealed reader real-GSM8K wrong 13->8
Cuts the over-eager product-of-all on real GSM8K. The sealed comprehension reader
(resolve_pooled over train_sample) was 2 correct / 13 WRONG / 35 refused; all 13 are
the whole-text product-of-all committed unopposed (0042->2.4M, 0048->19200,
0001->14400). This is the first lever measured against the REAL metric (resolve_pooled
over train_sample), not the curated confuser count.
Mechanism (verify._is_repeated_unit_product + classify_derivation downgrade):
a pure multiplicative chain whose operands repeat a non-empty unit forms unit^2
(apples x apples, cards x cards) -- never the answer; it is the product-of-all
multiplying independent groups. Such a product is classified `exempt`
(commit-INELIGIBLE), NOT removed. Empty units exempt (0003 multiplies blank-unit
0.75); divide exempt (feet/feet = legitimate count). Dimensional, not lexical
(ADR-0165-safe).
Implementation finding (folded into ADR §3.1): the naive version put the predicate
in the shared _base_reasons gate, which DROPPED the product and regressed the
confuser probe 1->3 -- the disguised-polarity 0001/0003 refuse only because the
coins x coins product DISAGREES with the coins + coins accumulation reading; dropping
it unmasked the additive reading as a unique wrong commit (80/30). The fix is the
downgrade: keep it as a commit-ineligible `exempt` candidate so it still forces the
disagreement. Pinned by test_downgrade_not_removal_preserves_disagreement_refusal.
Evidence (sealed lane; chat/ does not import verify -> serving frozen):
- resolve_pooled over train_sample: 2 correct / 8 wrong / 40 refused (was 2/13/35);
the 5 repeated-unit products (0001/0017/0042/0045/0048) now refuse, 0003/0021 kept.
- confuser probe: wrong unchanged (no 0001/0003 regression), positives still solve.
- serving train_sample 3/47/0 and practice (accumulation + search) 3/47/0
byte-identical; self_verifies/_base_reasons unchanged so search lanes are untouched.
- 171 derivation/pool/verify tests + 40 architectural invariants green.
Honest scope: 13->8, NOT 0. The remaining 8 (0011/0016/0018/0019/0025/0028/0032/0047)
are distinct-unit products in the wrong shape (rate problems) = cue precision
(ADR-0177 CP-2b), the next lever -- not to be faked with a per-case rule. Carries the
corrected ADR-0184 (supersedes the spec-only #484).
The lookback review of the four-PR stack (EX-6/pooling/prior-state/anchor-skip)
found the ADR-0182 spec under-predicted and under-scoped 0016. Records actuals
without editing the original spec (retained for provenance):
- Status -> Accepted/Implemented (PRs #476, #480, #481).
- §8 Realized results: confuser wrong spec-predicted 5->4->3, ACTUAL 5->2->1->0.
Pooling also caught disguised-polarity (bonus); 0016 needed anchor-skip PLUS
intra-clause accumulation (a conjunction split the spec framed as anchor-skip
alone) and yielded the bonus 0017 *solve*; the prior-state guard (#480) is a
distinct question-time lever sharing resolve_pooled.
- Folds in the lookback findings: solid items, the closed test-coverage gap
(anchor-skip refuse branches, #481 4205605), no live wrong=0 hazard (multi-actor
product-commit predates anchor-skip), and the open 0010 multi-referent spurious
(a graduation question, not a wrong).
Serving 3/47/0 byte-identical throughout. Doc only.
Regenerated the docs/decisions/README.md ## Index table from each ADR's own
title + Status line, naturally sorted by ADR id (handles 0114a, 0119.1,
0131.G.3.1, 0136.S2, etc.). The index had drifted to 51 of 229 ADRs; it now
lists every ADR through 0183. Only the Index table was replaced; the Current
frontier / chain notes / reasoning-capable-domains / session-log narrative is
untouched (it remains a curated, historically-scoped account, not the index).
Records the fork for getting words from audio WITHOUT a serving-time learned
model: (A) words-as-text, or (B) deterministic formant/phonetic decode + taught
vocabulary. Status: Proposed (stub) — deferred, not a committed design. Captures
the problem, the 0-param/decode-not-borrow/refuse-over-fabricate/reviewed-growth
constraints, and the open questions a full ADR must answer. Exists so the
serving path doesn't silently reach for Whisper. Cross-linked from
docs/audio_pipeline_overview.md §9.
Adds §9 subsection: a teacher is bootstrap scaffolding for the teaching phase,
not a production component (not ML distillation — CORE has no weights). Serving
path must never call a teacher. Production is Whisper-free conditioned on a
lawful runtime path: (A) words-as-text, or (B) matured deterministic
audio→lexeme decode. Flags the trap: teaching with a model does not auto-transfer
word-recognition into a 0-param engine. 'The teacher teaches; the lawful path
serves.'
Living ledger of architecture/model/dependency footprint. Headline: CORE is a
0-parameter, 0-weight architecture (substrate is algebra, not weights), enforced
by the teacher versor-invariance test. Tracks: learned params (0), optional
teacher lanes (4 declared, all inert, no model size chosen), 10 Python runtime
deps (datasets dominates), 8 Rust crates, 0 weight files. Includes a Whisper
size reference for when/if a lane is wired, and an update-on-PR + changelog
discipline. Lives at docs/model_dependency_size_tally.md.
A from-the-ground-up reference for the audio modality: waveform → canonicalize
→ frames → acoustic lexer → typed AudioIR → operators/rotors → (32,) versor,
with every spec/constant grounded in the code (PR-2..PR-6 stack).
Includes the three-way clarification of learned models: embeddings (never),
audio specs (CORE's own DSP, not any model), text transcript (Whisper/NeMo as
typed labels only). Documents the substrate-vs-evidence split, the verbatim
teacher policy, current inert/gated status, and the 'scrutinise the consumer'
flag. Cross-links ADR-0180/0181 + spec + eval-plan. Lives at
docs/audio_pipeline_overview.md.
A confuser's `expected: refuse` does not mean unanswerable. Every confuser carries
its true gold (`answer_numeric`) and is a solvable coverage target; `refuse` means
"the reader can't yet comprehend this category, so refusing is the honest outcome —
committing a WRONG value is the defect." Example: 0001 "buys a toy for 30 coins …
how many left?" is plain 50-30=20; it is refuse only because today's reader takes
`buys` as a gain.
Adds §2.1 (graduation protocol): when a general mechanism reads a category correctly
(validated on train_sample + the category, wrong=0 preserved), those cases graduate
refuse -> solve and committing their gold becomes a win. Reframes the `spurious`
verdict as "solved-before-graduation" (a graduation signal, with pair-consistency as
the genuine-reading-vs-surface-match discriminator), not automatically a defect.
Notes that no v1 category is degenerate, and how a truly-unanswerable case would be
labelled (answer_numeric: null + degenerate: true) so the two senses of "refuse"
stay distinguishable.
Spec only; no corpus/runner change (today's commits are wrong-reading, so spurious
stays flagged until a category genuinely graduates).
The confuser probe's two distractor-quantity wrongs (0014 ->300, 0016 ->3840)
have no clean tight fix: the `for` cue licenses both the 0014 distractor product
and the correct train-0021 product, and a target+foreign-unit refusal rule breaks
the canonical train-0003 boxes x erasers product. Telling a real multiplier from a
distractor by cue is the cue-precision problem ADR-0177 measured as not-yet-solvable
-- a tight rule here would be a reactive surface patch (the overfitting trap).
This ADR scopes the general, non-reactive alternative: let the wrong=0 DISAGREEMENT
rule do the refusing. Pool self-verifying candidates across composers so a blunt
product reading and a competing additive reading of the same problem disagree ->
refuse; legitimate products (0021/0003) have no competing reading, so they still
commit -- the structural property that distinguishes them, expressed without a cue.
Scoping surfaced two things a one-line plan would have missed:
- Completeness FORCES the distractor into every reading, so naive pooling changes
nothing. The mechanism needs a narrow, commit-INELIGIBLE completeness exemption
for isolated-foreign quantities -- it can only buy a refusal, never an answer, so
the commit-path completeness guarantee (ADR-0175's 9->2 multi-step fix) is intact.
- MS-1 Target exposes the union of body unit-shapes, NOT the question's asked-for
unit (verified). The exemption is therefore keyed to a reading's used-operand
units, not an asked unit that does not exist.
- 0016's distractor sits in the anchor-position clause, so it needs distractor-aware
anchor selection too: 0014 is the guaranteed win (wrong 5->4); 0016 lands (->3)
only when anchor-skip is built. Doc declines to claim both before that is proven.
Spec only, no code. Sealed lane; serving 3/47/0 untouched.
§1.5.3: content-addressed re-sort obligation is vacuous at compute_trace_hash
(folds vault_hits count, not contents); amend to apply at recall() result set
+ any future contents-bearing hash.
§2.2: Merge Kernel must content-address equal-score recall ties (multivector +
provenance bytes), not arrival/deque-index order — the general-path analog of
ADR-0181 §2.2's audio merge key.
Both sharpen the substrate ahead of the vault.rs LocalArena/SemilatticeDelta
refactor; neither blocks it. Sourced: docs/audit/ADR-0180-t1-t4-findings.md.
Flip ADR-0173 Proposed -> Accepted. This is the W0 gate for the
workbench-UI ratification wave: it amends ADR-0160's read-only stance
narrowly to admit operator-driven invocation of the three existing,
replay-gated Tier 1.5 handlers (apply_lexical_claim, apply_frame_claim,
apply_composition_claim) as a local keyboard accelerator over ADR-0161
Surface C. No UI code; implementation remains gated to the W1..W4
acceptance gates in the ADR.
Also lands the reconciled W3 ratification-corridor brief. It supersedes
the stale W3 section of WORKBENCH-UI-WAVE-BRIEF-PACK.md, which assumed a
'frontend zero' state (W1/W2 already merged via #295/#299/#329/#327/
#328/#303) and prescribed a Zustand store this repo never adopted. The
reconciled brief names the load-bearing facts the old one glossed:
- /ratify is advisory-only today (routes, never applies); W3's core
backend task is the advisory->in-process flip.
- live proposals carry shape_category='uncategorized', so the safe
category/polarity must be operator-supplied and allowlist-gated, not
hard-coded -- the exact silent-wrong-category path case 0050 guards.
Verification this session: read-only workbench v1 confirmed working
(API serves real deterministic data, honest 404s, traversal rejected,
ratify advisory/no-mutation; 31 python + 104 UI tests green; pnpm build
green).
No runtime/algebra/eval paths touched. Docs only.
Follow-on to ADR-0163 §F that corrects the metric exposed by the overfitting
finding (96/150 synthetic flips vs 1/50 real; the 0002 cable/fraction problem read
as accumulation -> 996). Specs a small, hand-curated, real-sourced set of hard
negatives + near-miss confusers (disguised-polarity verbs, pseudo-accumulation
fractions, multi-referent/multi-actor, distractor quantities, temporal/question-
scope, comparative-referent, unit confusers) with minimal-pair construction.
Scored the opposite way from a coverage lane: success = wrong=0 on confusers +
pair-consistency + honest refusal frontier, NEVER solved-count. Held-out by
contract (not a training-to-fit target); the CP ledger consumes the wrong attempts
as the hard negatives the templated corpus lacked. Guardrails forbid reactive vocab
growth and template expansion.
Grounded scope for GB-3b, the next Gap B move. Measured opportunity: 46/150
additive practice cases are sum-of-all==gold, all currently refusing, all the
single-referent accumulation shape ('X has N. He buys M more.' -> N+M). They
refuse correctly (GB-3a's multi-clause guard / the Alice+Bob hazard); the safe
ones differ by referent identity + a change-verb cue, which GB-3b reads.
Scope covers: the reading (anchor + change steps), the wrong=0-critical referent
model (minimal no-new-actor guard; cross-references ADR-0164.2/.3 + ADR-0174's
multi-actor hazard; deliberately does NOT resurrect the retired gender-blind
resolver), the proof-carrying wrong=0 obligations, the cue-precision coupling
(change cues should finally be reliable, closing CP-2a), the increments, and
honest flip expectations (big chunk in practice-additive; modest train_sample;
serving stays 3/47/0 until ratification).
ADR-0180 §1.5.4 + CLAUDE.md work-sequencing item 5 require these four
properties green on main before any core-rs/src/vault.rs change. They are
also the foundation ADR-0181 PR-5 (audio Delta-CRDT wiring) rides on.
T-1 set-equality of vault writes under shuffled ingest (+ idempotent
re-ingest at the content-addressed layer)
T-2 trace-hash invariance to vault order, + recall result-set invariance
to insertion order (the genuinely-failable half)
T-3 versor_apply non-commutativity (negative guard)
T-4 ProjectionHead.project purity across calls and threads
Findings (docs/audit/ADR-0180-t1-t4-findings.md):
- compute_trace_hash folds only vault_hits (a count), NOT vault contents, so
ADR-0180 §1.5.3's "re-sort vault state in content-addressed order" is
currently vacuous at the trace-hash layer; the live order-invariance
obligation is at recall() (result-set + count). Recommend amending §1.5.3.
- equal-score recall ties are index-sensitive; the Merge Kernel needs a
content-addressed tiebreak (mirrors ADR-0181 §2.2 merge key). Recommend
amending §2.2.
- append is genuinely semilattice-eligible; versor_apply is non-commutative.
7 passed; smoke suite green. No runtime/core mutation — tests + audit only.
CP-2a populates the CP-1 ledger from gold-labelled candidate readings and reports
per-pattern reliability — the measurement the cue-precision thesis rests on. Plus
the function-word unit filter, whose value this measurement makes concrete (clean
unit_shape labelling).
What landed (all sealed; serving 3/47/0 byte-identical):
- generate/cue_precision/trainer.py — train_from_cases(cases, enumerators): folds
gold-labelled candidate chains into the ledger via record_case. Decoupled (the
candidate enumerators are injected, so the package still imports nothing from
search). candidates_for dedupes a reading shared by two enumerators.
- generate/derivation/multistep.py — extracted the enumeration half of search_chain
into public candidate_chains(problem_text); search_chain now delegates (verified
byte-identical: ms3 tests + practice counts unchanged). CP-2 needs the readings
the search weighs, not just the one it resolves.
- generate/derivation/extract.py — function-word unit filter (_NON_UNIT_WORDS):
blanks spurious function-word units ($0.75 each -> "", 3/4 of -> "") that
corrupt same-unit detection and unit_shape. Closed lexeme set, ADR-0165-safe.
- evals/gsm8k_math/practice/v1/cue_precision_report.py — trains over 200 sealed
cases (50 train_sample + 150 ADR-0163-F additive) with the real enumerators and
prints the per-pattern reliability table.
- tests/test_adr_0177_cp2a_training.py — trainer obligations (credit/dedupe/
determinism/empty) via synthetic enumerators; real-measurement well-formedness;
search_chain parity.
Load-bearing finding (recorded in ADR-0177): over 200 cases EVERY (cue,op,unit_shape)
pattern floors at ~0.0 reliability (best: for-multiply-cross_unit 0.0116 at 2/34).
The blunt product/sum-of-all readings are almost always wrong vs gold, so the
conservative floor correctly trusts nothing. => CP-2b (trust reliable cues) is
blocked on candidate GENERATION, not the ledger: candidate readings must get less
crude (clause/referent structure, ADR-0178 GB-3b) before any cue earns reliability.
Cue-precision and compositional structure are coupled; structure comes first.
Verification: 107 targeted tests green (CP-2a/CP-1/extract/ms3/GB-1/2/3/MS-1/2) +
architectural invariants; serving CLAIMS.md sha unchanged; practice 4/1/45 and
0/1/149 unchanged. Inert: trains/reports only, consulted by no search/gate.
Maps the AssetOverflow audio-compiler proposal onto the existing
sensorium ProjectionHead boundary (ADR-0013) and the Delta-CRDT
sharded substrate (ADR-0180).
Core mapping decision: the audio chunk boundary IS the CRDT delta
boundary. In-chunk rotor composition (compile_events) is the explicit
serialization barrier ADR-0180 §1.5.2 requires for non-commutative
versor_apply; the resulting AudioCompilationUnit is the order-invariant
delta written at the only semilattice-eligible layer (vault/store).
The compiler's checksum chain supplies the content-addressed merge key
(canonical, ir, projection sha256) that ADR-0180 §1.5.3 demands, making
idempotence structural and the sequential==concurrent trace-hash proof
checkable.
Adds:
- docs/decisions/ADR-0181-audio-compiler-delta-crdt.md (decision + mapping)
- docs/plans/audio-compiler-spec.md (typed AudioIR, operator table,
manifest, numeric determinism, delta interface)
- docs/plans/audio-compiler-eval-plan.md (corpus, gates, A-1..A-6 CRDT
proof obligations, teacher-migration policy)
Docs only; no runtime/core mutation. PR-2..PR-6 substrate work sequenced
in the ADR, with PR-5 gated on ADR-0180 §1.5.4 (T-1..T-4) green on main.
* docs(handoff): parallel-work plan post-GB-3a (CP-1 / scale / EX-3 tracks)
Three disjoint-file tracks dispatchable in parallel with Claude's serial Gap-B
line; records the hard constraint that GB-3b/4/5 are serial on compose.py.
* docs(adr-0180): propose CRDT-sharded vault concurrency substrate
Drafts ADR-0180 (Proposed) for a Delta-CRDT sharded substrate to support
forthcoming multimodal ingestion (vision, kinematics) without serializing
on a global Vault lock.
§1.5 grounds the proof obligation against the existing single-threaded
Python ingest path (sensorium → ingest/gate → field → vault/store →
compute_trace_hash) and enumerates four pre-refactor test obligations
(T-1..T-4) that must be green on main before any change to
core-rs/src/vault.rs lands, per CLAUDE.md work-sequencing item 5.
§1.5.5 explicitly fences out: approximate recall (exact CGA recall is
non-negotiable), hidden background execution (Merge Kernel must be
explicitly mounted with telemetry), and MLX/UMA hardware optimization
(deferred to a follow-up ADR; CPU-only Rust path lands first).
Proposed only — no code changes to core-rs, sensorium, or field.
The mandated lookback review before GB-3 (CLAUDE.md §Lookback Review Discipline)
confirmed the audit's hazards H1/H2/H3 were LIVE: compose_sequential summed
same-unit quantities from the whole problem, merging unrelated referents/scopes
and admitting wrong structures whose value happened to ground:
H1 (second actor's apples) -> 6+4+2 = 12
H2 (comparative on other actor) -> (6+4)*2 = 20
H3 (later depletion event) -> 6+4+3 = 13
Root cause is the audit's G1/D2 drift: GB-2a re-extracts from the whole text and
ignores GB-1's clause structure. The fix is the GB-3 increment — make the composer
clause-scoped (consume segment_clauses), refusing when the licensed structure spans
clauses, because this slice cannot model referents:
- quantities must live in exactly ONE clause (0 or >1 -> refuse);
- a comparative outside that clause -> refuse (unmodelled referent binding).
All three hazards now refuse; all 7 GB-2 single-clause structures preserved
(list-sum, three-item, sum-then-scale, and the mixed-unit/disagreement/too-few
refusals). tests/test_adr_0178_gb3_referent_guard.py would fail against the
pre-guard code (12/20/13), so the obligation is proven, not decorative.
Scope/safety:
- compose_sequential is sealed substrate, not wired to a scorer -> serving
byte-identical 3/47/0 (lane-SHA 8/8, generate_claims --check OK); practice
unchanged 4/1/45. No new test failures (2 pre-existing on main).
- ADR-0178 amended: GB-2 relabelled GB-2a (list slice, drift G1 recorded);
GB-3 split into GB-3a (this referent guard, landed) and GB-3b (constructive
cross-clause chaining, next).
#449 shipped an inert, duplicated, unvalidated pack off-brief; closed it but kept
the on-thesis idea (ground the nouns GSM8K problems use) with the real scope it
would need to be beneficial.
