From the mandated lookback audit of the composed R0→R1→R1c→OOV surface:
- wrong=0 HAZARD (medium): realize_quantitative trusted equation admissibility it
never checked. `comprehend_quantitative` runs real check_admissibility, but the
type does not enforce it, so a future non-reader constructor could slip a
dimensionally-incoherent 'pending'/'refused' equation into the held self (then
surfaced as-told by DETERMINE). Now RE-ASSERTS admitted-status defensively ->
NotRealized("unadmitted_equation"); docstring corrected to match (no longer claims
the type guarantees it). Bite test via a hand-built pending-equation graph.
- Defensive: wrap binding_graph hashing -> NotRealized("unhashable_structure") so a
future numeric field is a clean refusal, not an uncaught TypeError mid-write.
- Coverage (the obligations now bite, not decoration): unadmitted_equation,
not_a_quant_comprehension, no_bound_fact, grounding_failed (monkeypatched probe),
cross-substrate coexistence (meaning_graph + binding_graph in one vault — recall
isolates, structure_keys differ), and the negated_relation refusal (hand-built,
since the reader encodes declarative negation in the PREDICATE not rel.negated).
- Drift: R0 idempotency test now names the actual dedup key (structure_key, not
content_hash); scope doc notes #591 made OOV placement injective (the §0/§1
non-injectivity finding describes the pre-#591 substrate).
Note: the lookback flagged negated_relation as a high reachable-untested hazard, but
verification showed the reader never sets rel.negated=True for declaratives (it
refuses "X is not a Y" or uses some_not/disjoint predicates) — so it is a defensive
branch, tested via a hand-built graph. Green: 35 realize + ruff clean.
R0 keyed a realized fact by its subject's field versor, which is NOT injective:
two facts about one subject embed to byte-identical versors and collide at inf on
metric recall (proven). R1 adds the missing structural key.
- RealizedRecord/metadata carry ordered `relation_arguments` (the relation-space
key R0's sorted `entity_names` discards) and a span-free `structure_key`.
- `recall_realized(ctx, subject=/predicate=/content_hash=/structure_key=/
structure_kind=/entity=)` retrieves realized facts by EXACT structural metadata
(no metric / ANN), via a new read-only `VaultStore.iter_metadata()` accessor.
- Idempotency now dedups on the span-free `structure_key`, so the same proposition
told from a different source/offset collapses (R0's span-inclusive content_hash
could not). Guarded by an ambiguous-entity-name refusal — a wrong=0 defense,
since `Entity.name` is non-unique in the model (only `entity_id` is enforced).
- `content_hash` retained for provenance + replay_hash; `vault_index` pinned to the
live deque position.
Design adversarially verified (docs/analysis/REALIZE-R1-DETERMINE-scope-2026-06-06.md);
the false "established pattern" private-access comment is removed in favor of the
public accessor. wrong=0 + versor_condition<1e-6 + exact CGA recall preserved;
vault/store.py adds only a read-only accessor (no normalization). Green: 23 realize
+ 110 invariant/vault + 90 smoke; ruff check clean.
Scopes REALIZE (comprehended/told structure -> the held self with an
EpistemicStatus, persisted via Shape B+, recalled exactly) — roadmap Step 3, the
boundary that turns comprehension from an eval artifact into accumulating living
knowledge; intake ("being told") lands here.
Produced by a reconnaissance -> design -> adversarial-verification pass over the
real substrate (vault, EpistemicStatus, Shape B+ persistence, teaching/intake,
comprehension output, determinism/replay). Central finding: a realized record is a
structured vault entry (versor, metadata), NOT a new store — so it inherits exact
cga_inner recall, EpistemicStatus stamping (teaching/epistemic.py already exists),
and bit-exact snapshot/restore for free.
Defines the realized-knowledge record, the told->realize->recall->survives-reboot
contract, the composition seams (verified APIs), the obligations (wrong=0,
provenance, EpistemicStatus honesty, no forbidden normalization, no parallel
learning path, determinism), slice R0 + a falsifiable exit gate, and the design
forks/risks/open-questions.
Adversarially corrected: R0 must catch embedding KeyError/empty-decomposition ->
no-op (+ OOV grounding determinism); determinism is state-restore-based not
input-pure (versor/score are session-state-dependent); MeaningSpan (not
SourceSpanLink) is the provenance API; sharpened gate arms (history-dependence +
idempotency/placement re-run).
Spike falsified §5's assumption: en_core_syntax_v1 is a 24-entry lexicon of
grammatical terminology, not a parser. No general structural parser exists.
The field's Proposition already decodes S-P-O but FrameRegistry.select never
refuses (confabulation hazard). New load-bearing fork: Path alpha (field
standing-hand + refusal floor) vs beta (build a minimal parser). Recommend
alpha. Updated section 5 and section 9.
Scope-before-build for the AGI-roadmap make-or-break phase (COMPREHEND).
Honest substrate map: the reasoners (binding-graph/proof_chain/grammars) and
the articulation path (PropositionGraph) are built, but no organ turns general
NL into reasoning-ready structure. Recommends Option B (a general MeaningGraph
the existing structures project into), syntax-keyed parse-or-refuse reader,
cross-domain proof on the Phase-1 yardstick, and the overfit-trap guardrails.
No code.
Commits the design/analysis artifacts produced while building the lived spine and
planning the next arc (the work itself already merged in #563-#573):
- AGI-candidacy-autonomous-improvement-roadmap-2026-06-05.md — the path from the
lived spine to AGI-candidacy: the comprehend→realize→determine→learn loop, the
cross-domain capability+calibration yardstick, the logical-necessity × technical-
priority execution order, and the corrected epistemic foundation (grounded
honesty designed-in; estimation learned/ratified; confidence always evidence-
grounded; intake first-class — NOT "no ingestion"; calibration+grounding the
measured invariant).
- L10-runtime-scoping + L10-continuity-spike-design — the L10 decision surface and
the falsifiable spike spec (P1-P5) that became evals/l10_continuity/.
- L10-shapeBplus-persistence-scope — the A->E scope that became Shape B+ resume.
.gitignore: ignore the local .system-map/ navigation index (per-developer, never
tracked; regenerated on demand).
Extends evals/deductive_logic/grounding.py from unary predicates / single-var rules to
binary relations + multi-variable universal rules, still by FINITE PROPOSITIONAL
grounding into the regime the ROBDD engine + the independent truth-table oracle both
decide. wrong==0 stays structural. This is the real capability step a RuleTaker/
ProofWriter-style mirror needs (the unary fragment alone is trivial).
- atom_n lowers pred(a,b) -> pred__a__b; arity-1 is byte-identical to the old atom, so
the live unary panel lowers unchanged (proven by an exact-string back-compat test).
- multi-variable universal rules ground over n^k assignments — transitivity now decides.
- range-restriction: a rule with a head variable unbound in the body refuses (unsafe_rule)
— it grounds soundly but is outside the clean regime real benchmarks use.
- typed refusals: arity>=3/functions, explicit quantifiers, variable-free rules, bounds.
Honest ceilings (documented in docs/analysis/relational-grounding-extension-2026-06-04.md):
- THE binding constraint is the GOLD, not the grammar: the truth-table oracle is
O(2^atoms), so grounding refuses above MAX_GROUND_ATOMS=20 => binary problems cap at
~4 entities/predicate. A real lift needs a 2nd genuinely-independent sub-enumeration
oracle (not built).
- OPEN-WORLD only: RuleTaker/ProofWriter's main splits are closed-world + NAF; a future
adapter MUST refuse CWA/NAF (mapping CWA "False"->"refuted" is a wrong=0 breach).
- arity <= 2, function-free.
Validated: held-out differential fuzz (400 random binary problems, oracle-golded) = 0
engine/oracle mismatches; unary back-compat byte-identical; INV-25b reproducibility green;
deductive lane wrong=0 16/16; smoke 87.
The falsifiable experiment's measurements #2 (ablation) and #3 (diversity). Builds the
competent, code-disjoint SYMBOLIC reader (the control arm AND the C3 capability path)
and the ablation instrument that runs both readers through the real
verify_tier2_agreement gate.
VERDICT: C3 — the field is decoration on this domain (a sanctioned, honest negative):
- field_wrong_commits = [] (wrong=0 holds; the per-step drift guard refuses bad ints)
- field_caught_symbolic_errors = [] (the field caught ZERO symbolic errors)
- per-class diversity = 0 everywhere (both readers agree and are both correct)
- the only admitted-set change is the field LOSING coverage at the precision ceiling.
Insight: on forward-substitutable relations, geometric translation IS arithmetic
addition, so there is no metric over-determination for the field to exploit — field and
symbol are common-mode (Knight-Leveson), not a genuine second derivation. This is the
deductive finding's twin: logic was combinatorial (field can't earn it), additive is
arithmetically trivial (field adds nothing). The field needs metric-nontrivial AND
arithmetically-hard structure to earn a reasoning role — dedicated research, not
near-term. Field-as-reasoner is NOT earned; no field vote enters any serving path; the
field stays a servant. Capability path = symbolic (C3), not shipped here.
- generate/relational_symbolic_reader.py: competent independent reader (pure int).
- evals/relational_metric/ablation.py: the reusable decoration instrument.
- docs/analysis/field-wedge-ablation-result-2026-06-04.md: the recorded verdict.
All prior artifacts STAY (field reader = real wrong=0 read demo + 3rd panel domain).
Green: full wedge suite 104; 53 architectural invariants.
Source-grounded design of the field<->symbol coherence-gate wedge, corrected by
an 11-agent adversarial review into a falsifiable experiment with a sanctioned
negative outcome (field stays a servant -> C3 two code-disjoint symbolic
readings). Records the substrate ledger (the CL(4,1) field has one exact strength
relevant to reasoning -- the conformal distance metric -- and no solver/incidence
machinery), the corrected design, the three adversarial verdicts, the falsifiable
experiment (ablation + per-class diversity), and the phased path.
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.
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.
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.
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.
