Implement the eval infrastructure defined in ADR-0016 before building new
eval lanes. This establishes the discipline that governs the entire
capability roadmap.
- Generic eval framework (evals/framework.py): lane discovery, versioned
scoring, result persistence
- Cognition lane retrofitted into new convention: 45 cases split into
stratified dev (13) / public v1 (13) / holdout (19) sets with contract,
runner, and recorded results
- Generalized `core eval <lane>` CLI: dynamic lane discovery, --list,
--version, --split, --save, --json flags
- Holdout runner scaffold: plaintext fallback, encryption interface ready
- Baseline runner scaffold: pluggable frontier model interface
- Fix: CognitiveTurnPipeline.run() crashed on turn_log[-1] when the
unknown-domain gate returned a stub without appending to turn_log
- ADR-0016, eval_methodology.md, PROGRESS.md, capability gates session log
Phase 0 exit audit found two methodology issues:
1. Pipeline turn_log crash (fixed here)
2. Versor drift in multi-turn sessions (pre-existing, under investigation)
- docs/decisions/ADR-0008-allocation-physics.md
Formalizes salience, attention, inhibition, and coherence-budget
as the allocation physics of cognition. Replaces attention-as-weights
with attention-as-field-curvature over the versor manifold.
- docs/decisions/ADR-0009-compositional-physics.md
Defines temporal binding, digest cycles, reasoning trajectories,
and articulation planning as the compositional physics layer —
how CORE assembles pressure into structured thought and output.
- docs/decisions/ADR-0010-identity-physics.md
Establishes IdentityManifold, DriveGradientMap, ExertionMeter,
and CharacterProfile as structural identity primitives. Identity
is a field over the geometry, not a prompt veneer. Grounded in
John 1:1–2 and the Logos theology that anchors the architecture.
- docs/architecture/MIND-PHYSICS-BLUEPRINT.md
Integration blueprint showing how allocation → compositional →
identity physics layers compose into the full cognitive cycle.
- core/physics/ (11 Python interface stubs)
SalienceOperator, AttentionOperator, InhibitionOperator,
BindingFrame, DigestCycle, ReasoningTrajectory,
ArticulationPlanner, DriveGradientMap, ExertionMeter,
IdentityManifold, CharacterProfile — all typed, all frozen
where stateless, all carrying explicit field contracts.
Third Door: no off-the-shelf cognitive architecture borrowed.
All operators defined from the geometry up.
