docs(governance): RATIFY — ADR-0241 and ADR-0242 → Accepted (Joshua Shay, 2026-07-15)
Executes the explicit in-session 'Ratify' ruling on the D10 acceptance
packet (docs/audit/adr-0241-0242-acceptance-packet-2026-07-15.md §8 ruling
record added):

- ADR-0241 status: Proposed → Accepted (P7 demote-with-proof accepted as
  honest per the #19 precedent; T1/T2 serve-boundary reconciliation
  ratified; chiral sign-gate enforced on the accepted state via PR #41).
- ADR-0242 status: Proposed → Accepted (memo fidelity slice closed with no
  new defects; V5 anyons remain claim-quarantined/not built; V2 production
  promotion stays benchmark-gated).
- CRDT determinism ruling (PR #42) ratified: single-writer bit-exact now;
  CRDT behind an explicit multi-writer gate.
- Checklist header, fidelity-ledger §12 status, and living summary §12
  updated to the ratified state.

Post-Accept work remains tracked (W5 backlog + packet §7 carry items);
none are conditions of this Accept.

ADR-0242: Deterministic Fibonacci Operators and Evidence-Gated Optimization

Status: Accepted — ratified by Joshua Shay 2026-07-15 (explicit "Ratify" ruling on the D10 acceptance packet, docs/audit/adr-0241-0242-acceptance-packet-2026-07-15.md; memo fidelity slice closed §7, no new defects). V1 cert + V3 packing + V2 research helpers + V4 word schedule + sensorium feed landed; V5 anyons NOT built (claim-quarantined per the packet); V2 production promotion stays benchmark-gated per §3.2.

Context

ADR-0241 establishes continuous wave-field \psi. Optimization, scheduling, and multi-scale allocation still need deterministic, reconstructible operators that earn their place under COREs evidence discipline — not sacred-geometry dogma.

Drive ADR-0242 defines five Fibonacci vectors. An earlier in-repo draft understated that thesis as packing + section search only. This document restores the full scope and records honest landing status.


Sovereignty invariant (absolute)

Fibonacci operators may optimize search parameters, set observation scale, or schedule background checks; they must NEVER dictate proposition truth, safety policy, identity, or authorize autonomous COHERENT promotion.

Active reasoning, vault standing, and serve remain governed by versor closure, CRDT exactness, and human-gated review.


Decision — five vectors

Vector 1 — Bounded Fibonacci-section search (production Phase 1) 🟢

Module: core/physics/fibonacci_search.py

  • BoundedUnimodalObjective
  • fibonacci_section_search(objective, func) -> FibonacciSearchCertificate | OptimizationFailure
  • Never returns a bare float
  • Certificate is content-addressed (cert_id = SHA-256 of ordered trace + ids)
  • Fail-closed: nonfinite, bounds, unimodality multi-extrema → OptimizationFailure
  • κ seam: propose_kappa_from_search / goldtether.propose_kappa_line_search
    • success → proposed κ = minimizer (telemetry; no auto state mutation)
    • failure → baseline κ = 1.0

Vector 2 — Multi-scale temporal basis (research helpers) 🟢 research / 🟡 production

Drive:

[ E_n(t) = E_n(t_0),\exp\bigl(-(t-t_0)/(F_n\tau_0)\bigr) ]

  • wave_energy_boundary.fibonacci_tau_schedule / recency_band_index (constants table)
  • multi_scale_energy.py: multi_scale_energy_vector, dyadic_tau_schedule, comparative_residual_separation
    Not production default inside FieldEnergyOperator. Flip requires comparative benchmark + Joshua gate.

Vector 3 — Golden-Angle mode allocator 🟢

Module: core/physics/atlas_packing.py

  • Golden-Angle polar lift via embed_point → null 32-vectors
  • Fail-closed if pairwise CGA null-point d < d_{\min} (default 0.12)
  • Honest metric: Euclidean null-cone readout, not full H^2 geodesic
  • Reconstruction-over-storage: ALLOCATOR_VERSION = golden_angle_v1 + allocator_layout_descriptor
  • Not holographic seals (null points ≠ closed unit versors)

Vector 4 — Fibonacci-word observability choreography 🟢

Module: core/physics/fibonacci_word_schedule.py

Drive: W_0=B, W_1=A, W_{n+1}=W_n W_{n-1} for telemetry / sealed-holdout sampling.
Outside cognitive truth path — pure schedule only; no vault/field mutation.

Vector 5 — Topological anyon / braid holonomy 🟢 quarantine box

Package: algebra/topological_reasoning/ (README + FUSION_RULE stub).
Production AST pin: chat/, core/physics/, generate/, vault/, teaching/ must not import it.
No fusion/braid logic until proofs + human Accept.


Phase order (Drive §5)

Phase Vector Status
1 V1 search + κ cert gate 🟢
2 V2 multi-scale energy study 🟢 helpers; 🟡 not production default
3 V3 packing 🟢
4 V4 word scheduler 🟢
5 V5 anyons 🟢 quarantine only (no logic)

Serve quarantine (A-04)

fibonacci_search, atlas_packing, wave_energy_boundary must not be imported from chat/runtime.py (AST pin in tests/test_third_door_cohesion.py).


Consequences

Benefits

  • Evidence-gated optimizers (typed cert/failure)
  • Deterministic packing without core_ha node IDs
  • Clear multi-vector roadmap without dogma

Trade-offs

  • Sample-based unimodality (not global oracle)
  • Packing separation not full hyperbolic geodesic
  • V2 production promotion deferred pending benchmarks

Validation

  • tests/test_adr_0242_fibonacci.py — cert/failure + dual-run digest + κ fallback
  • tests/test_adr_0242_atlas_packing.py
  • tests/test_third_door_cohesion.py — serve quarantine + κ integration
  • tests/test_adr_0241_wave_energy_boundary.py\tau_n table

Acceptance path

Joshua review may Accept after Phase 1 (V1+V3) is verified in merge.
V2/V4/V5 need not block Phase 1 Accept if status rows remain honest RESEARCH/staged.
Agents must not self-Accept.
