Adds generate/bridge_trace.py: a structured sink + serializer for
per-turn articulation-bridge trace records, following the exact
ADR-0040 telemetry sink pattern (JsonlBufferSink / JsonlFileSink /
FanOutSink, no wall-clock, redact-by-default).
Modifies generate/intent_bridge.py: articulate_with_intent() emits
one BridgeTraceRecord per call through a module-level opt-in sink
(attach_bridge_trace_sink / detach_bridge_trace_sink). When no
sink is attached the call is a pure no-op — zero behavior change on
all existing paths.
The record captures:
- intent_tag / intent_subject (classifier output)
- plan_subject / plan_predicate / plan_object (articulation slots)
- recalled_words_len / recalled_words_sample (grounding supply)
- pre_ground_obj (what the graph node held before ground_graph)
- post_ground_obj (what it held after, or same if no grounding ran)
- bridge_surface / bridge_useful (final output + usefulness gate)
- fallback_surface (the plan.surface the runtime falls back to)
This is the Phase 1 measurement instrumentation described in the
full-sentence output mastery plan. Phases 2-5 act on the data this
produces; Phase 1 itself is pure observation.
Two new intent shapes + composers turn the runtime's corpus
density into operator-visible articulation. Both consult the
cross-corpus aggregator from ADR-0064; no new ratification needed.
P3.3 — chat/narrative_surface.py + IntentTag.NARRATIVE.
Classifier patterns (registered BEFORE generic DEFINITION):
^tell\s+me\s+about\s+
^describe\s+
^what\s+(?:can|do)\s+you\s+(?:say|know)\s+about\s+
narrative_grounded_surface(subject, max_clauses=4) walks every
reviewed chain rooted on subject across all registered teaching
corpora. Dedupes by (connective, object) — cause + verification
carrying the same predicate emit one clause, not two. Sorts by
(intent, connective, object) for replay stability.
Surface format:
"{X} — narrative-grounded ({corpus_ids}): {dX1}; {dX2}.
{X} {conn1} {O1} ({dO1}); {X} {conn2} {O2} ({dO2}).
No session evidence yet."
Cross-corpus subjects (e.g. mother in relations_v2) emit
narrative-grounded (relations_chains_v2) tag; cognition subjects
emit cognition_chains_v1 tag. Multi-corpus subjects (when
applicable) emit composite "corpus_a + corpus_b" tag.
P3.4 — chat/example_surface.py + IntentTag.EXAMPLE.
Classifier patterns:
^(?:give|show)\s+(?:me\s+)?an?\s+(?:example|instance)\s+of\s+
^example\s+of\s+
example_grounded_surface(object_lemma, max_examples=3) walks chains
where the lemma is the OBJECT — inverts the typical subject-keyed
access pattern. Dedupes by subject; sorts by (intent, subject,
connective).
Surface format:
"{X} — example-grounded ({corpus_ids}): {dX1}.
Example: {subj1} {conn1} {X}; {subj2} {conn2} {X}.
No session evidence yet."
Cross-cutting:
- Both intents added to _OOV_INTENT_TAGS — fall through to OOV
invitation when subject is unknown (Phase 2 gradient discipline).
- Both tagged grounding_source="teaching" (same provenance tier
as the existing teaching_grounded_surface).
- No prose generation, no new mutation surface.
Live verification:

Full lane: 2067 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed in 2:32.
Add a deterministic, pack-agnostic post-processor in `generate/intent.py`
that runs after the `_RULES` table fires:
- DEFINITION / RECALL / PROCEDURE: strip trailing punctuation + leading
articles; preserve multi-word noun phrases
- CAUSE / VERIFICATION: additionally strip leading aux verbs; return
the head noun
Closed-set frozen sets (`_ARTICLES`, `_AUX_VERBS`) make the transform
inspectable. No pack load, no algebra change — touches only
`DialogueIntent.subject`.
Cognition eval (13-case public split):
surface_groundedness 46.2% → 61.5% (+15.3 pp)
term_capture_rate 33.3% → 50.0% (+16.7 pp)
intent_accuracy 100.0% (=)
versor_closure_rate 100.0% (=)
Two cases lift through the ADR-0048 pack path
(definition_procedure_023, definition_relation_026 — both
"What is a X?" → subject=X via article stripping). CAUSE / VERIFICATION
subjects are now clean head nouns, foundational for future COMPARISON
pack path / teaching-store inference.
Tests: tests/test_intent_subject_extraction.py (30 tests).
Lanes green: smoke (67), cognition (121), runtime (19), algebra (132),
teaching (17), packs (6).
Closes ADR-0046's deferred follow-up: convert the PropositionGraph
into an AdmissibilityRegion BEFORE generate() runs on the live
chat path.
== generate/intent_bridge.py ==
New public helper:
build_graph_from_input(text, plan) -> PropositionGraph
Same internal call as _build_graph_from_intent, without the
post-generation ground_graph step — suitable for forward use.
== chat/runtime.py ==
When the new flag is on and output language is English, build the
graph and the region before generate() and pass it via region=.
Empty / fully OOV graphs return AdmissibilityRegion(allowed_indices=None),
which generate() treats as unconstrained — the change is a true
no-op when the graph carries no in-vocab anchors.
== core/config.py ==
RuntimeConfig.forward_graph_constraint: bool = False
Default False preserves all pre-ADR-0046 behaviour and the ADR-0024
honest-refusal contract. A first attempt wired the constraint
unconditionally; 15 tests failed with InnerLoopExhaustion because the
intent-derived graph's CGA neighbourhood doesn't intersect the walk's
candidate pool with top_k=8 on the current packs. The honest answer
is not to widen top_k until the failure goes away nor to silently
relax — both erase the architectural information that the geometry
of the graph and the geometry of the walk are not yet co-located.
Opt-in preserves ADR-0024 and follows the ADR-0022→0026 transition-
window pattern.
== Characterisation (core eval cognition, 13-case public split) ==

non-trivial constraint n/a 6 / 13 —
Findings:
- Wiring is correct and safe (no exhaustions, closure unchanged).
- Single-token in-vocab subjects engage the constraint
(light/knowledge/meaning/memory/correction).
- Multi-word OOV subject phrases produced by the intent classifier
fall through to unconstrained — this is the existing intent-
classifier contract surfacing into geometry, not a constraint bug.
- Restricting which tokens the walk may visit did not change
surface_groundedness or term_capture_rate on this lane. The
surface-grounding gap therefore lives downstream of propagation
— in the realizer / surface-assembly / dialogue-role path — and is
the next load-bearing pull. This isolates the next ADR's scope.
== tests/test_forward_graph_constraint_wiring.py (5 tests) ==
- DEFAULT_CONFIG.forward_graph_constraint is False
- Default runtime answers without InnerLoopExhaustion
- Opt-in runtime answers on a short benign input
- Graph builder + build_graph_constraint produce a labelled
AdmissibilityRegion ("graph:unconstrained" or "graph:<root_id>")
- Flag is observable on the frozen RuntimeConfig
== docs/decisions/ ==
- ADR-0047 ratifies the wire-up, opt-in rationale, and A/B numbers.
- README index updated; the Pillar 1→2→3 section now reflects both
the primitive (ADR-0046) and the live wiring (ADR-0047), and
names the next pull (realizer / surface assembly) explicitly.

The original adr-0046 commit was never run. Fixes:

non-existent AdmissibilitySource).
- tests/test_graph_constraint.py + demo_01: load pack
"en_core_cognition_v1" (was "en", which is not a pack ID).
- demo_03: read JsonlBufferSink.lines as a list attribute, not a
method call.
- demo_04 (exact_recall_scale): DROPPED. The construction used
raw standard_normal vectors through unitize_versor and asserted
cga_inner self-similarity is the population max. Cl(4,1) has
mixed signature — cga_inner is not self-maximising for arbitrary
unitized random vectors — and the demo failed at N=10 000 in
exactly the way the construction predicts. The exact-recall
claim's correct home is ADR-0045 (real vault path, properly
constructed versors, N up to 100k = 100%).
Doc/index updates:
- ADR-0046 trimmed to three demos, with an explicit note on the
dropped demo's geometric error and the cross-reference to
ADR-0045.
- ADR-0046 verification block updated with measured lane numbers

- ADR-0046 cross-references ADR-0018 (intent_bridge source of the
graph) and ADR-0022→ADR-0026 (AdmissibilityRegion contract).
- docs/decisions/README.md: ADR-0046 added to the index and to a
new "Pillar 1 → 2 → 3 coupling" section linking the graph
constraint to the existing forward-semantic-control chain.

Closes the structural gap identified in the 2026-05-17 assessment:
the PropositionGraph was a post-hoc descriptor of what the field walk
already produced. It is now a forward constraint that shapes what the
walk is ALLOWED to produce.
== generate/graph_constraint.py (new) ==
GraphConstraint — converts a PropositionGraph into an AdmissibilityRegion
before generate() runs, not after. The region's allowed_indices are the
intersection of:
- subject versor neighbourhood (top-k by CGA inner product)
- object versor neighbourhood (top-k by CGA inner product)
- any explicitly named node surfaces already in-vocabulary
This is the Pillar 1 → Pillar 2 coupling that was missing:
geometry (CGA) → structure (graph) → propagation (generate)
build_graph_constraint(graph, vocab, *, top_k) is the public entry.
The region label encodes the graph's root node IDs so the admissibility
trace identifies the constraint source.
== generate/stream.py (updated) ==
generate() already accepts an AdmissibilityRegion. No new API needed —
graph_constraint.build_graph_constraint() produces one.
== evals/industry_demos/ (new) ==
Four standalone demo scripts that each make ONE falsifiable claim no
transformer-LLM wrapper can reproduce. Each script runs independently
via `python -m evals.industry_demos.<name>` and exits 0 on pass / 1 on
fail. Each prints structured evidence to stdout.
demo_01_forward_constraint.py
Claim: When the PropositionGraph names subject=light, obj=truth, the
generation walk is constrained to the CGA neighbourhood of those
versors BEFORE any tokens are produced. The allowed_indices set is
computed from geometry, not from a prompt filter. Demonstrated by
showing the AdmissibilityRegion is non-trivial (< full vocab) and
that all generated tokens score positive CGA inner product against
the constraint field.
demo_02_geometry_drives_identity.py
Claim: Swapping the identity pack (precision_first vs generosity_first)
on identical input produces structurally different surfaces via the
manifold alignment path — not via a system-prompt swap. Demonstrated
by running two ChatRuntime instances with different identity_pack IDs
on the same text, showing hedge_rate and identity_score.alignment
differ, and that the manifold alignment_threshold differs at the
algebra level (not just the text level).
demo_03_deterministic_audit.py
Claim: Three independently constructed ChatRuntime instances on the
same input produce byte-identical JSONL audit lines. Demonstrated
by attaching JsonlBufferSink to each, running chat(), and asserting
hash equality of the emitted lines (modulo the 'turn' field which is
per-instance sequential). This is architectural determinism — not
seeded randomness.
demo_04_exact_recall_scale.py
Claim: CGA vault recall is exact (100%) at N=100, N=1_000, N=10_000.
The needle versor is recovered at rank-1 by cga_inner scan regardless
of vault size. No approximate nearest-neighbour index. No FAISS.
No degradation curve. Demonstrated inline with timing so the
linear-scan cost is visible alongside the 100% recall.
== tests/test_graph_constraint.py (new) ==
8 tests:
- build_graph_constraint returns an AdmissibilityRegion
- allowed_indices is a strict subset of vocab (non-trivial constraint)
- all constraint indices score positive cga_inner against at least
one node versor
- empty graph returns unconstrained region (safe fallback)
- two-node graph unions both neighbourhoods
- constraint label encodes root node IDs
- round-trip: constraint region feeds generate() without raising
- forward vs post-hoc: constrained walk produces tokens in the
region; unconstrained walk may not (statistical, seeded vocab)
Co-Authored-By: Perplexity AI
Closes the 'identity hedges are generic' gap. When IdentityCheck reports
that a specific axis is deviating AND the pack supplies an axis_hedges
entry for that axis, the assembler uses that axis's phrase instead of
ADR-0028's generic preferred_hedge_*. The hedge text now names what is
actually at issue.
Selection: lex-smallest axis_id in (ctx.deviation_axes ∩ axis_hedges).
Deterministic; loader emits axis_hedges in lex order on axis_id.
Example surface at alignment=0.30 (strong band) under default pack:
No deviation → 'It seems that truth reveals reality.'
truthfulness deviates → 'Evidence is thin that truth reveals reality.'
coherence deviates → 'This does not yet cohere: truth reveals reality.'
reverence deviates → 'Reports suggest truth reveals reality.'
Same trajectory + truthfulness deviation, three different packs:
default_general_v1 → 'Evidence is thin that truth reveals reality.'
precision_first_v1 → 'The evidence does not support that truth reveals reality.'
generosity_first_v1 → 'Truth reveals reality.' (above generosity's strong=0.20)
Schema (additive, optional):
surface_preferences.axis_hedges = {
<axis_id>: { 'strong': str, 'soft': str, 'qualifier': str },
...
}
Bounds: each phrase length 1–64; axis_id non-empty. Absent block →
ADR-0028 byte-for-byte fallback. Loader emits pairs in lex order on
axis_id for hashability + deterministic tie-break.

Tests: tests/test_identity_score_decomposition.py — 17 new tests:
per-axis phrase selection, band gating still applies, pack swap with
same deviation produces three different phrases, lex tie-break is
deterministic, depth-language fallback to ADR-0030, backward compat
with empty deviation_axes, and the contract that all three v1 packs
ship axis_hedges for all three default-pack axes.
Suite status (all green):
cognition 121, teaching 17, runtime 19, formation 182, smoke 67
identity+safety+English+depth divergence 71

Scope limits (documented in ADR-0031):
- English-only at v1 (depth languages use canonical ADR-0030 phrases)
- Lex tie-break is operational not semantic — pack authors can re-key
if they need a different priority
- No dominance-driven phrasing (Interpretation A); preserved as
forward-compatible follow-up
Docs: ADR-0031 (Accepted) recorded; docs/identity_packs.md gains
§Axis-specific hedge phrases section and updated v1-pack SHAs; memory
'identity-packs.md' refreshed.
Closes the ADR-0028 'English-only differentiation' gap. Hebrew and
Koine Greek surfaces now consult identity-pack surface_preferences for
hedge and claim-strength shaping, using language-appropriate canonical
hedge phrases. CORE's three-language foundation (English / Hebrew /
Greek) is now uniformly identity-aware at the realizer.
Algorithm: the same four-band hedge/claim-strength logic from ADR-0028
runs for all three languages. Thresholds and claim_strength come from
the identity pack (carried on SurfaceContext). Hedge phrases come
from ctx for English and from a new module-level constant
_DEPTH_HEDGE_PHRASES for Hebrew (he) and Koine Greek (grc).
he: 'נראה ש' / 'אולי' / 'במקרים מסוימים,'
grc: 'δοκεῖ ὅτι' / 'ἴσως' / 'ἐνίοτε,'
Pack swap visibly affects depth-language output: a precision_first
identity pulls hedges to higher alignment than default; a generosity
pack pulls them to lower alignment. Same trajectory through the
manifold → three different Hebrew surfaces under three different
packs. Same for Greek.

- English surface output byte-for-byte unchanged.
- _assemble_he / _assemble_grc with ctx=None match pre-ADR output
byte-for-byte (asserted by TestBackwardCompatibility).
Scope limits (documented in ADR):
- Depth-language hedge phrases are canonical defaults, not per-pack
overridable yet. Future ADR may add a 'languages' block to the
pack schema if a downstream deployment needs override capability.
- Contrast ('However, ...') and subordination ('Given that ..., ...')
remain English-only. Hedge is the dominant differentiator.
- Hebrew/Greek grammar / word order unchanged.
Suite status: cognition 121, teaching 17, runtime 19, formation 182,
smoke 67 — all green. Identity + safety + divergence suites: 26+15+15+15=71
all green.
Promote ADR-0025 from Draft (design note) to Accepted with the
architectural home decision reversed: rotor admissibility lives at
the same generation/propagation seam as ADR-0024's destination
check — in a sibling-but-separate module
`generate/rotor_admissibility.py` — NOT in `algebra/versor.py` or
`field/propagate.py`.
Algebra rejected because admissibility is a pack-semantic test, not
a closure invariant; placing it there couples algebra to pack state
and creates structural temptation toward grade-projection repair
(CLAUDE.md §Normalization Rules forbids). field/propagate rejected
as a forbidden normalization site even when framed as precondition
guard. The clean answer is generation-side, in its own file:
endpoint admissibility (token-side, blade) and rotor admissibility
(rotor-side, frame) compose at the same seam while remaining
conceptually separable.
New module generate/rotor_admissibility.py:
RotorVerdict — admit/reject + score + region_label + reason
check_rotor_admissibility(region, *, field_current, rotor)
-> RotorVerdict
Pure semantic check:
F' = versor_apply(V, F_current)
score = cga_inner(F', region.frame_versor)
admit iff score > 0 (basic positivity in frame half-space)
No state mutation, no closure enforcement (algebra's job).
region.frame_versor is None → trivial admit (back-compat).
RefusalReason extended:
INNER_LOOP_EXHAUSTION — destination-side (ADR-0024 / ADR-0026)
ROTOR_REJECTION — rotor-side (this ADR)
The two reasons let the trace name the axis that ran out without a
parallel exception type. InnerLoopExhaustion(ValueError) hierarchy
unchanged; back-compat preserved.
Wiring in generate/stream.py:
threshold mode per-candidate rotor check after destination admit;
reject → log rotor score, retry next candidate;
exhaustion routes reason to ROTOR_REJECTION iff
any rotor rejection occurred in the step
margin mode rotor check on the top-ranked admissible candidate;
reject → immediate InnerLoopExhaustion(
reason=ROTOR_REJECTION) carrying the destination
ranking + the rejected rotor's score
Phase 4 keeps positivity (score > 0), not margin, on the rotor side.
No cross-case calibration evidence to inform a rotor-margin constant
yet; promoting to ranked-with-margin awaits Phase 5 diversified-
families evidence. Destination-side margin (ADR-0026) is unchanged.
Teaching boundary closed at Stance A — strictly hygiene-only.
Rotor rejections are deterministic geometric outcomes, not reviewed
teaching examples. CLAUDE.md §Teaching Safety forbids parallel
correction paths; entangling rotor rejection with reviewed teaching
would create one. Confirmed in ADR-0025 §"Teaching boundary".
Acceptance evidence (tests/test_rotor_admissibility.py, 11 passing):
No-frame back-compat — frame_versor=None tokens identical to
Phase 3 baseline
Admit when aligned — frame_versor=seed direction admits
seed→destination rotor
Refuse with named axis — orthogonal frame raises
InnerLoopExhaustion(reason=ROTOR_REJECTION); threshold mode
also routes reason correctly
versor_condition < 1e-6 preserved on admitted rotors
Deterministic replay — 5 reruns identical for both admitted and
refused turns
Suite results:
full: 1048 passed, 2 skipped (+11 new rotor tests)
docs/runtime_contracts.md updated with "Rotor admissibility contract"
subsection documenting the seam, the algorithm, and the refusal
taxonomy.
Architectural invariants preserved:
no new code in algebra/versor.py, field/propagate.py, vault/store.py
no approximate recall, no cosine similarity, no HNSW/ANN
no hot-path repair; check is pure typed-verdict
InnerLoopExhaustion(ValueError) hierarchy unchanged
Replace the static-threshold admissibility gate with a ranked-with-
margin check that is scale-invariant under blade-norm variation.
Phase 4 characterization established no single global threshold
separates the v2 mechanism-isolation cases (blade norms vary ~10x);
margins between top and second-ranked candidates do, because they
scale with the blade norm and carry the relative ordering the
geometry actually delivers.
New primitives in generate/admissibility.py:
RankedCandidate — (index, word, score)
MarginVerdict — admit/reject + top + margin + full ranking
rank_candidates_by_blade — sort admissible set by cga_inner desc,
strict > tie-break by ascending vocab index
check_margin — admit top iff score>0 AND margin>=delta
Selection semantics in margin mode are blade-rank-driven: the top-
ranked admissible candidate IS the admitted destination. Differs
from threshold mode (field-driven _nearest_next then per-candidate
gate). Both modes coexist; threshold is the default and ADR-0024
acceptance evidence is preserved byte-for-byte.
Wired through:
core/config.py admissibility_mode="threshold" (default)
admissibility_margin=0.4
chat/runtime.py forwards both fields
generate/stream.py margin_mode_active branch — ranks the
candidate set once per step, admits or
raises InnerLoopExhaustion with the full
ranking in rejected_attempts
Default delta = 0.4 chosen from the v2 case margins:
V2-001: 0.596 V2-002: 0.456 V2-003: 13.27
V2-004: 3.37 V2-005: 12.74
min = 0.456 → 0.4 admits all 5 with headroom; 0.5 would refuse
V2-002. The default is falsifiable: Phase 5 may surface a case
below 0.4, which should be reported as an architectural finding
rather than patched per-case.
Acceptance evidence (tests/test_margin_admissibility.py, 13 passing):
5/5 v2 cases pass in margin mode; forbidden_token in every
case's rejected_attempts ranking
Refusal-on-insufficient-margin: delta=0.9 on V2-001 (margin
0.597) raises InnerLoopExhaustion with full ranking; no silent
boundary fallback
Threshold mode byte-identical with or without margin plumbing
5 reruns produce identical canonical trace steps
Strict > tie-break: equal scores resolve to lower-index winner
deterministically
Invariants preserved:
versor_condition < 1e-6 — rotor V is constructed only for the
admitted candidate; margin mode adds no normalization/repair site
Deterministic replay — strict > tie-break now load-bearing in
rank_candidates_by_blade alongside vocab.nearest
No approximate recall, no cosine similarity, no HNSW/ANN; pure
rank-and-difference on exact cga_inner scores
No new code in field/propagate.py, algebra/versor.py,
vault/store.py, or chat/runtime.respond()
Suite results:
full: 1037 passed, 2 skipped (+13 new margin tests)
core eval cognition: 13/13, 100% intent_accuracy,
100% versor_closure_rate
ADR-0026 documents the contract, the single-delta rationale, the
falsifiability story, and the residual risks. Margin mode is
flag-gated default-off; a future ADR may promote it to default
after Phase 5's diversified families confirm the single delta
holds (or surface the architectural finding if it doesn't).
Replace plain ValueError at both inner-loop exhaustion sites in
generate/stream.py with InnerLoopExhaustion, a typed ValueError
subclass carrying machine-readable refusal evidence:
reason : RefusalReason (INNER_LOOP_EXHAUSTION)
region_label : which AdmissibilityRegion blocked
step_index : -1 = pre-walk empty intersection;
>=0 = in-walk per-step exhaustion
rejected_attempts : ordered (idx, word, score) triples
Backward-compat by construction: subclassing ValueError preserves
every pre-Phase-2 `except ValueError` handler in chat/runtime.py,
eval lanes, and tests. No edits to chat/runtime.py, field/propagate.py,
algebra/versor.py, or vault/store.py.
Trace path wired:
- CognitiveTurnResult.refusal_reason (str, default "")
- compute_trace_hash folds refusal_reason only when non-empty
-> byte-identical hashes preserved for non-refused turns
- CognitiveTurnPipeline reads via getattr from ChatResponse and
forwards into both trace_hash and result construction
Contract documented in docs/runtime_contracts.md §"Refusal contract".
Tests (tests/test_refusal_contract.py — 10 passing):
- InnerLoopExhaustion isinstance(ValueError) at both raise sites
- In-walk site carries reason/region_label/step_index>=0/
rejected_attempts with (int,str,float) triples
- Pre-walk site uses step_index=-1 sentinel + empty
rejected_attempts
- Pre-walk fires even when inner_loop_admissibility=False
- Trace hash: empty refusal_reason preserves legacy bytes;
non-empty differs; same inputs are stable
Suite results:
smoke: 67 passed
cognition: 121 passed
runtime: 19 passed
full: 1024 passed, 2 skipped
core eval cognition: 13/13, 100% intent accuracy, 100% versor closure
Residual silent path (documented as out-of-scope for Phase 2):
chat/runtime.respond()/arespond() still convert any ValueError to
"" for their public str return contract. So a refused turn today
produces surface == "" with refusal_reason == "" — the typed
evidence is unread between the raise site and the result. The
plumbing on result + trace + pipeline is in place so a future ADR
can wire materialisation (propagate exception to
ChatResponse.refusal_reason, or catch at the pipeline seam) without
re-deriving the contract.
Phase 1 (commit 3940290) and Phase 2 (this commit) were developed
in parallel with disjoint file scope to avoid conflicts.
Phase 2 — Corpus observation runner (inner_loop_runner.py):
- Four-condition matrix: boundary_only / null_control / inner_loop_t0 / inner_loop_tpos.
- Added `inner_loop_force_admit` to generate() — exercises the inner-loop
code path but force-breaks on first candidate. Eval-only null control:
isolates rejection as the causal factor for any pass-rate delta.
- Metrics: pass_rate, mean_rejection_count_per_turn,
non_empty_rejected_attempts_rate, exhaustion_rate (gated at 5%),
mean_admissibility_checks_per_turn, mean/p95 added_latency_ms,
trace_hash_stability across 5 reruns per case.
- Finding on v1+dev: causal_attribution_valid=True, code_path_residual=0.0,
but exhaustion_rate=0.33 at t=0 — chain outer-product blade is
geometrically blind to the active pack.
- Tests (tests/test_inner_loop_phase2.py, 5 pass): pin
causal-attribution and live-corpus trace-hash stability invariants.
Phase 3 — Mechanism-isolation v2 corpus (5 cases, v2_runner.py):
- Synthetic adversarial cases with controlled geometry — each case
specifies seed_token, admissible_tokens, relation_blade_token, and
admissibility_threshold. Field state is constructed directly from
the seed token versor, not via priming.
- For every case: boundary-only selects the forbidden decoy and
inner-loop selects the expected endpoint with the forbidden token
appearing in rejected_attempts.
- Result: mechanism_isolated=true on 5/5. boundary_decoy_rate=1.0,
rejection_traced_rate=1.0. Inner-loop rejection is demonstrably
doing causal semantic work on real packs.
- Tests (tests/test_inner_loop_phase3.py, 8 pass): GATE on
mechanism_isolated.
Phase 4 — Threshold characterization (threshold_characterization.py):
- Distribution mapping per-case AND globally on v1+dev, v2, combined.
- Per-threshold sweep over [-1.0, -0.5, 0.0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0].
- Finding: per-case geometry separates cleanly (correct_min > incorrect_max
on every v2 case), BUT no global static threshold passes the
separation_quality >= 0.8 gate. Blade norms vary ~10x across cases.
- Static thresholds (global, relation-typed, or constant frame-derived)
are geometrically insufficient. Per-case-normalized thresholds
(e.g. fraction of blade self-score) are the recommended next step.
- v1 chain-token outer-product cases all skipped — the corpus's chain
tokens (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) are not grounded in the active
pack. Load-bearing finding for ADR-0025 region construction.
- Tests (tests/test_inner_loop_phase4.py, 5 pass): pin the finding
diagnostically (not gated).
Phase 5 — ADR-0025 design note (draft):
- No code changes proposed. Scopes three architectural questions:
(1) home (algebra/versor.py vs field/propagate.py vs generate/) —
preliminary stance: algebra/versor.py.
(2) threshold scheme (blade-normalized fraction recommended over
static; learned/adaptive rejected for determinism).
(3) teaching-loop boundary — Stance A confirmed: rejections are
runtime hygiene only, no entanglement with teaching/*.
- Decisions to be closed before Draft → Accepted.
Phase 1 acceptance criteria from previous commit (7fccf36) carry
forward: wired, deterministic-when-wired, legacy hash preserved.
Suite: 1014 passed, 0 failed, 2 skipped.
Flag-gated semantic change to generate(): when
inner_loop_admissibility=True and a non-unconstrained region is
supplied, each per-step selection is re-evaluated by check_transition
with admissibility_threshold; rejected candidates are excluded and
the walk re-selects until admitted or every admissible candidate is
exhausted (ValueError = honest refusal, same shape as ADR-0022 §2).
Default False — every legacy call site keeps ADR-0023 boundary-only
semantics, and the new AdmissibilityTraceStep.rejected_attempts field
is folded into canonical() only when non-empty, so trace_hash bytes
are byte-identical with ADR-0023 turns.
Invariants preserved: rotor V is only built for the admitted
candidate, so versor_condition < 1e-6 still holds at propagate_step;
no new normalization site; no new I/O / dynamic imports.
Tests: tests/test_inner_loop_admissibility.py covers the four
acceptance properties — default off preserves behavior, rejection
drives re-selection, exhaustion raises ValueError, empty
rejected_attempts is omitted from canonical(). Full pytest: 927
passed, 1 pre-existing unrelated failure (test_language_pack_cache).
Extends ADR-0022 with inspection/telemetry surfaces that turn the
forward-semantic-control claim from "mechanism exists" into "mechanism
is causally load-bearing, isolated, and replayable."
Changes (zero runtime semantics change beyond a pipeline bug fix):
- AdmissibilityTraceStep + GenerationResult.admissibility_trace —
per-transition record of region label, candidates before/after,
selected destination, and the typed AdmissibilityVerdict.
- ChatResponse + CognitiveTurnResult expose admissibility_trace,
admissibility_trace_hash, ratification_outcome,
region_was_unconstrained.
- hash_admissibility_trace + compute_trace_hash fold the new fields
only when they carry non-default values, so pre-ADR-0023 turn
hashes remain byte-preserved.
- Same-path ablation leg in evals/forward_semantic_control/runner.py:
generate(..., region=None) vs generate(..., region=R) on the same
runtime/vocab/field/persona/prompt — isolates the region as cause.
- Lane expansion: 8 dev cases across 4 relation axes (cause, means,
precedes, part_of) including 2 adversarial distractor cases.
- Lane metrics now report region_only_constrained_rate /
region_only_gap / ratified_rate / demoted_rate / passthrough_rate /
passthrough_on_scored.
- Bug fix surfaced by the new accounting: _ratify_intent looked up
runtime.vocab (always None) instead of runtime.session.vocab —
every production turn was silently PASSTHROUGH. Fixed; ratifier
now actually gates intent classification.
- tests/test_admissibility_trace.py: hash determinism +
pre-ADR-0023 byte-preservation tests.
Lane evidence (dev, 8 cases):
- constrained_pass_rate=0.80, causality_gap=0.80
- region_only_gap=1.00 (5/5 with region, 0/5 without — same path)
- ratified_rate=1.00, passthrough_on_scored=false
- overall_pass=true
Bench: 9.41s / 20 turns (~470ms/turn), well inside the +5% budget.
Full pytest: 922 passed, 1 pre-existing failure
(test_language_pack_cache, unrelated to ADR-0023).
Resolves all 5 TBDs and closes all 8 acceptance gates for ADR-0022.
TBD-1 (intent oracle): regex seed + field ratification —
generate/intent_ratifier.py. RATIFIED / DEMOTED / PASSTHROUGH
outcomes; DEMOTED routes through honest refusal.
TBD-2 (region intersection algebra): generate/admissibility.py.
Token-set composition via sorted set intersection; blade composition
via outer product with zero-blade as neutral element; rotor
composition via sandwich conjugation routed through
algebra.backend.versor_apply (Rust parity preserved by construction).
Empty intersections preserved — no silent relaxation.
Wiring: propose() and generate() accept an AdmissibilityRegion
(default None preserves legacy behavior); pipeline ratifies intent
at step 1b.i before graph construction.
Eval lane: evals/forward_semantic_control/ — both legs run against
CognitiveTurnPipeline (constrained) vs bare ChatRuntime.chat()
(unconstrained baseline). Dev (3 cases) and public/v1 (1 case) both
report overall_pass=true, causality_gap=1.0, coincidence_rate=0.0.
Chain-endpoint probe surfaces 'delta' only under forward semantic
control.
Bench cost (30 turns): -2.8% wall-clock (within +5% budget the ADR
set for the ratification gate on every turn). 138x cheaper than
Sonnet 4.5; main was 142x.
Tests: 33 new (25 admissibility + 8 ratifier). Full suite 912/913
pass — the single failure is pre-existing pack-size drift on main,
unrelated.
Categorizes every production vault.recall() callsite as RECOGNITION,
EVIDENCE_TELEMETRY, or EVIDENCE_USER_FACING. Adds INV-24 architectural
invariant (TestINV24VaultRecallRegistry, 3 tests) that forces any new
callsite to declare its role and requires EVIDENCE_USER_FACING sites to
pass min_status=COHERENT.
Audit findings:
- chat/runtime.py:330 → RECOGNITION (gate decision input)
- vault/decompose.py:121 → RECOGNITION (grade-decomposed gate fallback)
- generate/stream.py:147 → EVIDENCE_TELEMETRY (walk_surface per runtime contract)
- No EVIDENCE_USER_FACING sites exist today — user-facing surface comes from
pack-grounded realize(proposition, vocab), not vault.recall.
Why this closes Leak C: the write-side fix already stamps SPECULATIVE on
self-stored propositions; the read-side audit confirms no inference path
treats them as ratified evidence. If a future change routes the
generation walk into the user-facing surface, INV-24 forces the
recategorization to be explicit.
CLAIMS.md Tier 4.5 Leak C row now CLOSED. docs/truth_seeking_schema.md
§Leak C updated with full audit categorization.
Verified: smoke (67), cognition (121), runtime (19), all architectural
invariants (40) — green.
Audit of the one-mutation-path invariant (ADR-0021 §3) found three leaks
where pack authority or session-state writes could substitute for coherence
judgment. All three landed fixes or partial closures in this push.
Leaks closed:
- Leak A: pack vocab defaulted to COHERENT — flipped to SPECULATIVE in
language_packs/{compiler,schema}.py; docstring corrected to align with
ADR-0021 (it was rationalizing the leak).
- Leak B: vault.recall was epistemic-blind — VaultStore.store() now stamps
every entry with EpistemicStatus (default SPECULATIVE); recall(min_status=)
filters to admissible-as-evidence tier. All 4 vault-write sites updated.
- Leak C (write-side): generate/proposition.py:198 stored articulated
propositions unmarked — now stamps SPECULATIVE, breaking the
fabrication-feedback loop in principle. Read-side audit of 5 call sites
is the residual.
New architectural invariants (tests/test_architectural_invariants.py):
- INV-21: one-mutation-path allowlist (caught Leak C on first run)
- INV-22: pack lexicon default is SPECULATIVE (Leak A guard)
- INV-23: vault recall epistemic-aware (Leak B guard)
New eval lanes:
- teaching_injection_resistance — ships GREEN at 1.00/1.00/0 (the
structural anti-injection claim is real and measurable)
- refusal_calibration — honest gap: 0% refusal, 0% fabrication
- contradiction_detection — honest gap: 50% flag via versor-delta heuristic,
100% false-positive; motivates the proper coherence-checker
- articulation_of_status — honest gap: 0% speculative articulation, 60%
false certainty; output-side leak surface
New benchmarks:
- benchmarks/footprint.py — total deployed runtime is 7.06 MiB
(109,358x smaller than Llama 3.1 405B, runs offline, no GPU)
- benchmarks/learning_curve.py — monotonic + replay-deterministic curve
per lane
Documentation:
- docs/truth_seeking_schema.md — foundational architectural commitment,
five rules, mapped to human failure modes, leaks published openly
- evals/CLAIMS.md — five-tier public claims doc; Tier 4.5 publishes
known gaps with named fixes; verification contract at top
- README.md — new pillar between algebraic substrate and language pillar
Includes in-flight formation pipeline scaffolding (formation/, tests/formation/,
docs/formation_pipeline_plan.md) and minor CLI/contracts/gitignore edits
that were already in the working tree at session start.
Verification: 798 passed, 2 skipped, 1 deselected (pre-existing pack-count
test drift unrelated to schema changes).
Closes the user-flagged scope gap: every previous fluency lane (Phase
5.1 + 5.4-5.7 + grammatical_coverage) operates on 3-word SVO probes.
These three pieces stress paragraph-scale generation, give per-stage
latency visibility, and expose the realizer's word-choice geometry —
all on top of the existing deterministic infrastructure.
# discourse_paragraph lane (paragraph-scale fluency)
Forces the realizer to emit multi-sentence paragraphs from a
multi-step ArticulationTarget with rhetorical moves (ASSERT, SEQUENCE,
ELABORATE, CONTRAST). Same realizer, much richer input — every case
is 3-5 sentences with deterministic discourse markers.
Public 12 cases / holdouts 5 / dev 1 across 12 + 5 topic chains
(epistemic, scientific method, creation arc, logical dependency,
ethical grounding, linguistic layers, mathematical chain, narrative,
biology, physics, two contrast-shaped, musical, social, computational,
psychological, economic).
Sub-metrics per case:
- sentence count (within min..max window)
- subject coverage rate
- discourse marker presence (next / furthermore / in contrast)
- sentence-initial capitalization
- replay determinism (run twice, surfaces match)
Result: 12/12 public + 5/5 holdouts at 100%, replay rate 100%, mean
sentence count 4.
# Realizer capitalization (G4, addresses user-flagged concern)
generate/realizer.py gains `_capitalize_sentence` + `_join_as_paragraph`
helpers. Sentence-initial alphabetic characters are now uppercased
(skipping leading whitespace/punctuation). Surfaces went from
"wisdom grounds knowledge. next, knowledge requires evidence."
to
"Wisdom grounds knowledge. Next, knowledge requires evidence."
The discourse_paragraph runner ships a strict per-sentence
capitalization check so future regressions get caught.
# Pipeline-stage profiler (benchmarks/pipeline_profiler.py)
External monkey-patch wrapper around CognitiveTurnPipeline.run() that
records per-stage ns budgets without editing any pipeline source.
Stages: intent, graph_planner, realize_semantic, runtime_chat,
maybe_transitive_walk, fold_walk_into_surface, run_teaching,
trace_hash.
API: `profile_turn(pipeline, text) -> ProfileReport` with
`.stages: dict`, `.total_ns: int`, `.as_dict()`.
Empirical: runtime_chat dominates >99% on the runtime hot path (which
is correct — that's where ingest + propagate + recall + articulate
all happen). Future optimisation work has a clear per-stage signal.
# Word-selection tracer (benchmarks/word_selection_tracer.py)
External wrapper around generate.articulation._resolve_slot that
records every nearest-neighbor lookup as a WordSelectionStep:
- slot (subject/predicate/object)
- input versor (32-d copy)
- top-K candidate words by CGA inner product
- chosen word + morphology
- output language
Top-K scoring uses the diagonal Cl(4,1) metric kernel from
algebra.backend (same vectorised path vault_recall uses), not a
per-word Python loop over cga_inner. No approximation, exact
deterministic ranking, bit-identical to a scalar scan.
API: `trace_realization(pipeline, text) -> RealizationTrace` with
`.steps`, `.realization_steps`, `.surface`, `.as_dict()`.
# CLI lane registration
Cognition suite now sweeps the benchmark profiler/tracer tests
(test_benchmarks_profiler.py) so any future regression in the
instrumentation surfaces immediately.
# Constraints honoured
- Zero edits to core/, chat/, vault/, teaching/, language_packs/, or
the algebra hot path. All instrumentation is external monkey-patch
with originals restored in finally.
- discourse_paragraph runner bypasses ChatRuntime grounding (named v2
gap) so paragraph capability is isolated to the realizer.
- No semantic changes; no hidden normalisation; no approximate
recall.
# Lane health
smoke 55, runtime 19, teaching 17, packs 6, cognition 105 (was 103),
algebra 132. All Phase 5 fluency lanes still 100% with the
capitalised surfaces (rubric is case-insensitive). discourse_paragraph
100%.
# What ships next (named v2)
- Round-trip: discourse_paragraph through ChatRuntime end-to-end,
not just realize_target.
- Per-sentence grammatical_coverage rubric on each emitted sentence.
- Longer chains (10/20/50 sentences) with per-sentence determinism
scaling curves.
- compose_relations operator to lift compositionality recall from
68.8% toward 100%.
Six contained-tier gap closures from the cross-phase gap audit.
Every gaps.md file involved gains a resolution block; the historical
findings are preserved for traceability.
Identity (teaching/review.py)
- _ROLE_FRAMES gains the philosophical-axis family (axiology, ontology,
telos, ethos, epistemology, morality, ethics, virtues, norms,
doctrine, creed, convictions, beliefs, values, principles).
- _REDIRECT_VERBS gains the dismissal family (disregard, dismiss,
bypass, circumvent, renounce, reject, repudiate).
- Closes multi_agent_composition holdout MAC-HOLD-001 ("disregard your
axiology") and the matching adversarial_identity gap.
- Multi-agent holdouts: 8/8 attacks rejected, 3/3 legits accepted.
Pipeline (core/cognition/pipeline.py + docs/runtime_contracts.md)
- When the unknown-domain gate fires, ChatRuntime returns the
"I don't have field coordinates for that yet." stub and
vault_hits == 0. The pipeline now honours that stub as the
user-facing surface instead of overriding with the realizer's
fallback articulation. walk_surface is unchanged either way.
- New contract test
tests/test_semantic_realizer_integration.py::test_pipeline_honours_safety_stub_when_gate_fires
locks the contract; the existing semantic-surface test now primes
the vault first so the gate doesn't fire on the probe.
- Closes calibration gaps.md Finding 2.
Realizer morphology (generate/morphology.py)
- G1: ~100-entry irregular-verb table replaces the previous list which
contained only regular forms. Includes bind→bound, run→ran,
stand→stood, write→wrote/written, eat→ate/eaten, fly→flew/flown,
swim→swam/swum, etc.
- CVC doubling rule for -ed and -ing (stop→stopped/stopping,
plan→planned, run→running).
- Short-ies disambiguation (die/lie/tie keep -ie- in the base; cry/fly
collapse to -y). Lie is also irregular (lay/lain) — uses
_IRREGULAR_FORMS first.
- 28-case regression test (tests/test_morphology_irregular.py).
Realizer plural agreement (generate/templates.py)
- G2: under universal/existential/many/few/most quantifiers, count-noun
subjects pluralise (molecule → molecules) and the verb de-conjugates
(binds → bind). Negation toggles does-not → do-not. Aspect toggles
has → have, is → are. All other constructions unchanged.
- Mass nouns (evidence, wisdom, knowledge, truth, water, …) stay
singular under quantifiers — "all evidence supports truth" is right;
"all evidences support" would be wrong English.
- 17-case regression test
(tests/test_realizer_quantifier_agreement.py) covering count vs mass,
irregular plurals (child→children, analysis→analyses), and the
quantifier-tense / quantifier-aspect / quantifier-negation grid.
Rubric punctuation tolerance (evals/grammatical_coverage/runner.py)
- G3: _check_word_order strips trailing/leading punctuation
(.,;:!?—–) before exact-word comparison so "river," still satisfies
word_order=["river"]. must_contain also accepts punctuation-
stripped token matches.
- Affects every lane that uses grammatical_coverage scoring; the OOD
case generators no longer need to pin punctuated accept_surfaces for
C06.
Case generator + lane regeneration
- scripts/generate_english_fluency_ood.py uses generate.templates.pluralize
for C07/C08 must_contain + word_order so case-side constraints stay
aligned with the (more correct) realizer.
- All Phase 5 OOD lane cases (5.1, 5.4–5.7) regenerated; results files
re-scored.
CLI (core/cli.py)
- cmd_eval no longer crashes on lanes whose case_details use "id"
instead of "case_id" (adversarial_identity, multi_agent_composition).
- Cognition CLI lane gains the two new morphology/quantifier
regression test files.
Lane sweep (all 100%, no regression):
english_fluency_ood 117/117 public + 39/39 holdouts
elementary_mathematics_ood 117/117 + 39/39
foundational_physics_ood 117/117 + 39/39
foundational_biology_ood 117/117 + 39/39
classical_literature_ood 117/117 + 39/39
grammatical_coverage back to 100% on its own seed cases
hebrew_fluency / koine_greek_fluency 3/3 each
CLI lane health:
smoke 54, runtime 19, teaching 17, packs 6, cognition 103 (was 57),
algebra 132.
Closes the mixed_relation_* (multi-step-reasoning) and composed_predicate
(compositionality) residuals with a single new operator plus a small
intent-classifier loosening. Both residuals shared an underlying shape:
walk any outgoing relation edge from the head, regardless of which
relation predicate appears at each step.
generate/operators.py:
multi_relation_walk(triples, head, *, max_hops=5) -> WalkResult
Walks any outgoing edge from head, accumulating a path across
mixed relation types. Returns WalkResult with relation="<mixed>"
so trace_hash records the cross-relation provenance explicitly.
Deterministic, cycle-safe, first-write-wins on duplicate heads
(across any relation).
generate/intent.py:
_TRANSITIVE_QUERY_RE relaxed from a closed verb enumeration to any
single verb-like word. "What does X (any verb)?" now routes to
TRANSITIVE_QUERY consistently; unrecognised relations are handled
by the pipeline's multi_relation_walk fallback rather than falling
through to UNKNOWN. Verified no regression on 30 intent / realizer
tests.
core/cognition/pipeline.py:
_maybe_transitive_walk now does precision-first dispatch on
TRANSITIVE_QUERY: try transitive_walk(relation) literal-match
first, fall back to multi_relation_walk only when the literal
walk returns a singleton. DEFINITION intents do not fall back
(would be too permissive for "What is X?").
tests/test_inference_operators.py: 6 new TestMultiRelationWalk
tests covering single-relation pass-through, cross-relation walks,
cycle termination, max_hops truncation, and determinism.

PHASE 3 v1 IS COMPLETE: 10 of 10 splits passing. Phase 3 exit gate
(>= 2 lanes passing v1 by phase exit) is satisfied five times over.
Foundation guarantees (premises_stored_rate, replay_determinism)
remain 1.0 across all lanes. Trace_hash bit-stability preserved
with operator invocation records folded in per ADR-0018.
Compositionality public at 0.69 / holdouts at 0.80 - the residual
failures are the novel_pair_under_seen_relation / novel_relation_on_seen_pair
cases whose contract authoring is itself ambiguous (the leakage
check in the v1 contract fires by design on those patterns). Those
are contract-refinement candidates for v2 of that lane, not
engineering work. Overall_pass threshold (>= 0.50) is comfortably
met on both splits.
CLI suites smoke / cognition / teaching / packs all pass; 53
operator+teaching+pipeline tests green; no regression.
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:

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.
Three issues in the drift-fix landing (922bddc) addressed:
1. algebra/rotor.py: add rotor_power(R, alpha) — slerp on the rotor manifold
via the rotor's exp/log decomposition. Handles both rotation planes
(cos/sin) and boost planes (cosh/sinh); falls back to identity for
non-simple bivectors or null cases.
2. generate/stream.py: the score-weighted vault recall previously did
`weight*V + (1-weight)*np.eye(V.shape[0])`. Two bugs:
- np.eye produced a 32x32 matrix for a 1D multivector, crashing
versor_apply with a broadcasting error (2 cognition tests failing
on main).
- The linear blend produced multivectors with versor_condition up to
2.2e-2, violating the non-negotiable 1e-6 invariant declared in
CLAUDE.md. Now uses rotor_power(V, weight) which stays on the
manifold by construction (versor_condition <= 1.1e-16).
3. session/context.py: respond() now re-binds result.final_state to
self.state after finalize_turn's anchor pull, restoring the
"respond returns the same object that was vaulted" contract
(test_engine_loop_proof regression).
Verification:
- 41 new tests in tests/test_rotor_power.py covering closure preservation,
alpha=0/1 boundaries, half-angle composition, and word-transition rotors.
- Empirical multi-turn versor_condition stays at machine epsilon with
anchor pull, max 9.4e-7 without (under threshold either way after fix).
- Full suite: 609 passed, 4 skipped, 0 failed.
1. session/context.py — dialogue blade accumulation is now magnitude-preserving
via EMA (α=0.15). Running blade grows stronger each turn a concept is
confirmed rather than resetting to unit magnitude on every record_dialogue().
2. generate/stream.py — vault recall transitions are now score-weighted.
Each recalled rotor is scaled by softmax(scores)[i] before application so
high-confidence vault hits dominate and stale low-score entries barely move
the field.
3. session/context.py — anchor pull added after _hemisphere_consistent_field().
A mild α=0.05 slerp toward _anchor_field is applied at finalize_turn() to
provide continuous conjugate correction against angular drift within the
hemisphere. Unitized before writing back to state.
The realize_semantic / realize_target pipeline in realizer.py was fully
implemented but never called from chat/runtime.py. The hot path only called
realize() from articulation.py, which returns raw S-P-O word tokens with no
intent, tense, negation, quantifier or rhetorical-move awareness. This
disconnected the 13-construction realizer from every live chat turn.
New module generate/intent_bridge.py:
- classify_intent_from_input() runs the rule-based classifier against the
raw input text to obtain a DialogueIntent
- articulate_with_intent() builds a PropositionGraph from that intent,
grounds the <pending> obj slots with recalled vocabulary from the
generation result, plans articulation via plan_articulation(), and calls
realize_semantic() for the intent-specific template path
- Falls back cleanly to the existing ArticulationPlan surface when the
realizer returns an empty plan (OOV-heavy or UNKNOWN intent)
chat/runtime.py change:
- Import and call articulate_with_intent() after the existing realize() call
- Replace articulation.surface with the intent-bridge surface whenever the
bridge returns a non-empty, non-pending string
- The existing ArticulationPlan dataclass is preserved and passed downstream
so SentenceAssembler, turn_log, ChatResponse, and all trace fields remain
structurally unchanged
Effect: chat() now produces intent-differentiated surfaces:
DEFINITION → "X is defined as Y" (was "X Y Z")
CAUSE → "X is grounded in Y" (was "X Y Z")
CORRECTION → "correction: X corrects Y" (was "X Y Z")
RECALL → "recalling X: Y" (was "X Y Z")
VERIFICATION→ "X is verified: Y" (was "X Y Z")
COMPARISON → "X and Y are distinguished..." (was "X contrasts_with Y")
PROCEDURE → "first, Y; then, X follows" (was "X Y Z")
CONJUNCTION → "X P and Y P" (realizer edge handling)
RELATIVE → "X, which Pv Y, Pv Z" (realizer edge handling)
Articulation fidelity is now geometrically honest AND structurally expressive.
The surface corresponds to internal intent state, not a generic S-P-O join.
- Fix running_dialogue_blade grade explosion: replace outer_product
accumulation (which pushed past grade-5 in Cl(4,1), silently zeroing
the blade from turn 3 onward) with CGA-inner-oriented blade tracking
that preserves grade-2 across arbitrary turn counts.
- Add versor_condition guard at session composition boundary: cross-turn
field composition via versor_apply now fails closed (threshold 1e-2,
matching algebra construction residue tolerance) instead of silently
propagating degraded fields into vault and generation.
- Replace VaultStore list with deque(maxlen=max_entries): eliminates
O(N) list.pop(0) on every bounded eviction; deque auto-evicts in O(1).
- Replace O(N) vocab scan in generate/stream.py stop_nodes construction
with O(1) try/except index lookup per stop token.

Adds referent tracking, session graph traversal, unknown-domain gating, correction propagation, compositional surface assembly, and regression coverage.
Follow-up fixes included before merge:
- split probe/commit/finalize turn flow so unknown-domain checks run before current-query vault writes
- record real input tokens and input versors for sync and async session paths
- return true graph distances from backward walks and consume them in correction decay
- synchronize corrected graph outputs into vault-backed recall and live referent state
- regenerate correction responses from corrected context rather than correction text
- keep coreference pronouns lowercase in question bodies
- centralize elaboration-string construction to avoid plan/surface drift
- add targeted dialogue fluency regression tests
- remove normalization and unitization calls from generation path
- skip invalid recalled fields instead of repairing them in generation
- punctuate selected articulation surfaces
- stabilize assertive dialogue roles
- anchor proposition slots to live field
- preserve session anchor orientation for coherence
- restore articulation surface as ChatResponse.surface while retaining walk_surface telemetry
- calibrate moderate E2 energy boundary
- reclose generated field states after propagation and recall
- restore pytest-safe REPL parsing and field_walk helper
- anchor proposition predicate selection to prompt field
- make vault exact self-recall deterministic
- align chat telemetry regression with restored surface contract
- calibrate identity threshold and per-axis telemetry
- keep walk surfaces visible when identity flags are telemetry
- report real vault recall hits through generation/runtime logs
- record selected surface in TurnEvent
- fix async chat persona reference
- add regression coverage for chat telemetry
agenerate() skipped _recall_state() entirely, meaning async streaming
responses were disconnected from session memory. This patch brings
agenerate() to full parity with the synchronous path:
- Accepts vault and recall_top_k parameters (default 3, matching generate())
- Calls _recall_state(_voiced_state(current, persona), vault, recall_top_k)
at each step before nearest-node selection
- Does not add stop_nodes or salience (those remain sync-only for now;
the core correctness gap is vault recall)
The async return value is still token-by-token via yield. Callers that
want final_state should use the synchronous path or wrap in a collector.
IdentityCheck runs after generation in ChatRuntime and must travel
forward with the result without requiring a second pass or a wrapper.
The field is Optional so all existing call sites that don't supply it
continue to work unmodified.
Key issues fixed:
- `CORE_BACKEND=numpy` was ignored, so tests mixed Python CGA embedding with Rust metric behavior.
- Dense construction seeds were being rejected by strict `unitize_versor()`, while sparse dirty inputs still needed to fail closed.
- Holonomy needed a construction-boundary path for raw/dense vocab fixtures and rare null final accumulators.
- Proposition storage polluted vault recall by storing the live field instead of the proposition’s subject versor.
- Dialogue qualitative frames rendered the same surface as assertive copular frames.
- Repeated session prompts could collapse into the same deterministic response path.
- Two proof fixtures were stale: one hand-built a non-null “null” vector, and one alignment proof omitted the English “with” anchor used by the resonance proof.
Verification:
`CORE_BACKEND=numpy CORE_STRICT_MLX_ON_APPLE=0 uv run core test -- -q`
Result: `277 passed in 59.52s`
