Patent-grade precision pass over the doc surface so every claim
about the Forward Semantic Control chain is backed by a file path,
test count, or commit hash.
Updates by file:
README.md
- Modernize Quick Start: add `core test --suite adr-0024`,
`core demo phase6 / phase5 / all / list-results`, full CLI map.
- New "Forward Semantic Control — The ADR-0024 Chain" section
with layer/ADR mapping and CI-enforced C1/C2/C3 claims table.
- Cross-links to runtime_contracts.md, phase5_stratified_findings,
phase6_comparative_demo, and the central results directory.
docs/decisions/README.md
- Index was stale at ADR-0014. Add ADR-0015 through ADR-0026
with accurate Accepted statuses.
- New "ADR-0024 chain — Forward Semantic Control closure" section
laying out the five-ADR / six-commit dependency order with test
counts per phase.
docs/runtime_contracts.md
- Add "Ranked-with-margin contract (ADR-0026 / Phase 3)" section
between the existing Phase 2 refusal and Phase 4 rotor sections.
- Documents threshold-mode vs margin-mode behaviour, δ = 0.4
default, falsifiability gate, and Cl(4,1) signature motivation.
docs/PROGRESS.md
- Add naming-note disambiguation: capability-roadmap "Phase N"
vs ADR-0024 chain "Phase N" are distinct.
- New top-of-document "ADR-0024 Chain — Forward Semantic Control
Closure" section with per-phase commit + test-count table and
a single-command verification path.
docs/Whitepaper.md
- New Section XII "Forward Semantic Control — Generation Without
Sampling" before Extensions. Five-component description of the
mechanism (region, intersection, destination check, rotor check,
margin gate) with explicit "what a sampling LLM cannot exhibit"
contrast. Existing Section XII renumbered to XIII.
docs/Yellowpaper.md
- New Section IX-B "Forward Semantic Control — Formal Admissibility
Specification" with eight subsections covering:
1. AdmissibilityRegion typed triple (I, B, Φ)
2. Destination-side admissibility (σ_dest, admit_threshold)
3. Rotor-side admissibility (σ_rotor, admit_rotor)
4. Ranked-with-margin gate (admit_margin, deterministic
tie-break by index, default δ = 0.4)
5. Honest refusal (InnerLoopExhaustion typed evidence,
RefusalReason enum, trace fold)
6. Composition order at the generation seam
(admit_step = intersection ∧ destination ∧ rotor)
7. Replay determinism contract (5 test lanes pinning byte
identity across reruns)
8. Verification invariants table (6 new structural contracts)
- Patent-grade: every predicate is named, every module is path-
referenced, every test is file-referenced, the load-bearing
architectural placement decision (rotor admissibility lives in
generate/, NOT algebra/, NOT field/) is stated by name with
its rejection reasoning.
No code changes; tests untouched (1099 passed, 2 skipped baseline
from commit 36aad75 still holds).
