ADR-0243 — D10 Acceptance Packet for Joshua
Arc: ADR-0243 Wave-Field Cognitive Lifecycle (Phases 0–5), built on ADR-0241 (substrate) + ADR-0242 (operators).
Evidence base: feat/adr-0243-phase4-benchmarks @ 2bb57a86 (Phases 0–4 merged to main through #56/#58/#59/#60 + this branch's Phase 4). Becomes main@<merge-sha> when Phase 4 merges.
Status of ADR-0243: Accepted. This packet was submitted for your ruling; the Proposed → Accepted flip is a separate one-line governance commit carrying your ratification provenance inline (per the anti-self-Accept guard, tests/test_adr_0241_governance_p12.py::test_adrs_accepted_with_recorded_ruling_provenance). The status flip has been made — §8 is RATIFIED.
1. Evidence summary (what is proven, and how)
| ADR § | Claim | Built as | Evidence | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| §2.1 | Ingress = wave ingestion, normalized at one owned boundary | ingest_context (superpose via sensorium_wave_feed; degenerate superposition refused, never zero-filled) |
test_adr_0243_cognitive_lifecycle ingress pins; Lane B corridor |
Supported |
| §2.2 | Reasoning = Hamiltonian well relaxation; "guaranteed, zero intermediate fabrication" | compile_quadratic_well / compile_propositional + relax_to_ground (imaginary-time, D-1); RelaxationCertificate (eigen-residual + spectral gap + psi_digest) |
Phase 4 fidelity ≥ 0.999; insertion cost all certified + bounded; ground-state property test vs. direct eigensolve | Supported, honestly restated (D-2) |
| §2.2 | "The field engine is the reasoner" on checkable logic | propositional_entails (ground-energy UNSAT reading) |
Phase 4 decisive falsifier: field vs. ROBDD gold wrong == 0 over 1026 decisions (1008 ID + 18 refusal-parity); OOD (>5 atoms) field-refuses / gold-decides |
Supported on this domain |
| §2.3 | Egress = thermodynamic wave readback, coherence-gated | egress_gate (measure_unitary_residual + coherence residual + EnergyClass routing); certificate_state_mismatch binds cert↔state |
egress must-reject pins; E3/E4 → readback-eligible; Lane B corridor readback | Supported |
| §2.4 | Speculative contemplation = non-resonant curiosity, proposal-only | surprise→discovery wiring (Lane A contemplate_surprise_history); crystallization proposal (I-03) |
Lane A discovery pins; crystallization-proposal pin (D-5) | Supported (proposal-only) |
| §2.5 | Lifelong learning = biography holonomy update, human-gated | biography_wiring.integrate_validated_biography (Lane C); ADR-0240 PASS → integrate seam; I-01 closure at boundary |
Lane C report-level PASS gate + I-01 seam + structural no-vault/no-evals pin | Supported (ratification-gated) |
| Falsifiability | Metrics separate ID from OOD; f32 truncation is real | Phase 4 benchmark.py |
surprise separation 0.834 (> 0.05); f32 drift f64 ~8e-14 vs f32 ~4.7e-5 (ratio ~5.9e8) | Supported |
The load-bearing result: on the propositional slice — the one domain with an independent, canonical, complete oracle (ADR-0201 ROBDD) — the Cl(4,1) field relaxation decoder agrees with the gold on every satisfiable-premise problem (wrong == 0), matches its refusal on inconsistent premises, and honestly refuses out-of-regime. "The field engine is NOT the reasoner today" stands unless this evidence says otherwise; it says otherwise, on this domain.
2. Deviations submitted for ruling (implementation vs. ADR prose)
- D-1 imaginary-time relaxer replaces the sketch's
exp(H·I·t)unitary loop.exp(−H·dt)vianp.linalg.eighon symmetric H (pure numpy f64, no scipy). Imaginary-time (dissipative) descent is the correct operator for relaxation-to-ground; real-time unitary evolution would not settle. - D-2 honest guarantee restatement. §2.2's "mathematically guaranteed … zero room for intermediate fabrication" is conditional, holding iff (a) the Hamiltonian compiler encodes constraints faithfully, (b) a positive spectral gap separates the ground state, (c) iteration has certified convergence (not assumed). The certificate records exactly these; unresolved cases fail closed (
spectral_gap_below_tolerance,excited_eigenspace,max_steps_exhausted), never mis-certified. - D-3 I-05 reconciliation. Relaxation is deliberately non-unitary inside the off-serving solver — that is what dissipation is. I-05 (amplitude conservation) governs live serve-path transitions; the relaxer's terminal normalize is an owned construction boundary (no hot-path drift repair; boundary breaches fail closed).
- D-4 R-02 premise retired at v1 scale.
expmof a 32×32 symmetric matrix in numpy is trivial; no Rust port needed or permitted for v1. (The ADR-0244 cohesion arc separately revisits a Rust f64 GP fast-path for the algebra layer — a different surface, gated behindCORE_BACKEND=rustwith bit-identical parity.) - D-5 E0/E1 crystallization is proposal-only. No vault writes from the lifecycle; cold states emit a typed crystallization proposal artifact through the one-mutation-path (I-03), never a direct
COHERENTwrite.
3. Deferred items (explicitly NOT completion blockers)
- Rust §5 SIMD / MLX acceleration of the algebra layer → ADR-0244 cohesion arc (D2), opt-in
CORE_BACKEND=rust. - CRDT multi-writer merge semantics →
docs/analysis/crdt-vs-bitexact-determinism-decision. - Serve-path wiring of the lifecycle → remains A-04 off-serving (Tier-2); no serve consumer at v1.
- Wave-field IdentityManifold / Gram projection / Q_top egress gate → ADR-0244 (§2.1–2.3), not part of this arc; Q_top pending an empirical non-vacuity demonstration (central
I₅in odd Cl(4,1) makes the naive charge vacuous on versor states — the #19 pseudoscalar failure mode).
4. Gate results (this arc)
- Phase 2 flagship (#56): smoke 176; fast lane ~11.7k; lane/pins/cohesion/transitive green.
- Phase 3 Lanes C/B/A (#58/#59/#60): each smoke 176 + own tests + fast lane green.
- Phase 4 (this branch,
2bb57a86): smoke 176; fast lane 11808 passed, 108 skipped; Phase 4 tests 17; benchmarkoverall_passed: true(deterministic); decisive falsifierwrong == 0.
5. Requested action
Rule on the ADR-0243 arc. If you rule "Ratify", the follow-up governance commit flips **Status**: Proposed → **Accepted** — ratified by Joshua Shay <date> (… this packet …) and records your ruling in §8 below, exactly as the ADR-0241/0242 packet did. The four honest restatements (D-1…D-5) are submitted for acceptance as recommended.
