The two reusable foundations of increment 1, both verified wrong=0:
- NEUTRAL_COUNT_VERBS (math_roundtrip): the shared positive-polarity ALLOWLIST
(production/acquisition/possession-count verbs), fail-closed. Extends ADD_VERBS
with curated neutral production verbs (score/write/teach/plant/harvest/produce/
draw/sing). Depletion/transfer (SUBTRACT/TRANSFER_VERBS) excluded by positive
determination — 'Alice lost twice as many' refuses, not via a blocklist.
- Seed reader: discrete_count matcher acquisition path aligned to the allowlist
(made/baked/grew/scored/wrote/taught now inject; depletion refuses).
- Comparison reader: _comparison_anchor_verb() allowlist extended to the same
NEUTRAL_COUNT_VERBS (keeps fail-closed; captures scored/caught/wrote frames).
Verified: production injects, depletion refuses; 71 pinned comparative tests
pass (polarity guards now via allowlist); tune wrong=0; smoke 176 green.
FINDING (measured 4 ways: yield harness, band map, band oracle, capability
histogram): band-1 as scoped {seed + forward-comparison + q:simple/summation}
converts 0 tune cases. Its otherwise-in-band cases STRAND on multi-compound (25)
and compare-additive (17) — capabilities outside the ~30 band. The conjunction
recurs at sub-capability granularity; the band-map taxonomy was too coarse.
Foundations validated + reuse-ready (done-when part 2); band-solve>0 (part 1)
needs the band to grow to +compare-additive(+multi-compound) — a scope/done-when
ruling for Josh. No merge until ruled.

CORE Documentation Index
This is the central index for all documentation in the CORE project.
Canonical Root Documents
- Whitepaper.md - The CORE architectural and philosophical whitepaper.
- Yellowpaper.md - Technical specifications and mathematical formulation of the CORE engine.
- PROGRESS.md - High-level project progress tracking.
- specs/runtime_contracts.md - Critical invariants and bounds for the runtime execution flow.
Directories
Architecture & Design
- adr/ - Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). The canonical history of all ratified engineering choices.
- architecture/ - High-level architectural documents (e.g., pipelines, schemas).
- analysis/ - Deep dives and master plans for structural changes.
- specs/ - Detailed technical specifications and invariants.
Planning & Progress
- plans/ - Capability roadmaps and implementation plans.
- briefs/ - Project briefs and scoping documents for upcoming work.
- issues/ - Detailed issue analyses and technical reproductions (not standard trackers).
- audit/ - Audit reports and claims ledgers.
Operations & Usage
- examples/ - Usage examples and reference integrations.
- workbench/ - Documentation for the CORE workbench UI and related tooling.
- agents/ - Agent-specific operational guides.
Note regarding
agents/grok/: Operational guide for using Grok 4.3 + Grok Build with CORE. This is not architecture documentation.
Learning & Evaluation
- curriculum/ - Documentation on the teaching/learning order and knowledge progression.
- evals/ - Evaluation methodology and performance criteria documentation.
- benchmarks/ - Benchmark evidence and performance tracking logs.
Historical & Experimental
- sessions/ - Chronological session logs documenting the "decision trail" and intellectual history of major choices.
- handoffs/ - Legacy brief, audit, and investigation notes (historical; the formal HANDOFF mechanism is retired — see AGENTS.md for the current lightweight
session-break-summary-<DATETIME>.mdconvention). - research/ - Raw research notes and preliminary findings.
- lab/ - Experimental content (Warning: Not ratified; must not be referenced as authoritative in production PRs).
