Eight component cards in 20-component-cards/: the four zero-subsystem zones
(comprehend-organ, determine-phase, realize-phase, sensorium-falsification)
plus always-on-process, derivation-organs, surface-selection,
attention-allocation. Plus 05-phase3-findings.md and correction banners on
the M6 and M4 layer cards.
CORRECTIONS (C-1..C-5):
- THREE more map live-serving labels demoted to live-internal:
comprehend-organ (a MATH SETUP ROUTER, not chat comprehension — imported
by neither serving entrypoint), determine-phase and realize-phase (both
behind accrue_realized_knowledge=False / idle flags; NO default-config
serving turn touches any of the three).
- Phase 2's M6 card overstated ephemerality: Shape B+ persistence exists
(persist_session_state, daemon-forced, "restored bit-exactly").
- Phase 2's M4 card understated the resolver: surface_resolution.py IS a
declared-precedence resolver for the pipeline seam; only the upstream
composer arms remain ordered branches. Third Door refines to "extend the
existing pattern upstream."
- 34-vs-18 RESOLVED: 18 resolve_promotable_* organs existed AT the ADR-0252
ratification commit; "34" counted modules (~32-33). No consolidation has
occurred; the governing ADR's headline number has no stated basis.
- The 2026-07-25 verification doc's claim that accrual "is enabled by the
production L10 process" is contradicted: CONTINUOUS_LIFE_CONFIG_FLAGS is
exactly {persist_session_state, consolidate_determinations,
strict_identity_continuity}.
NEW FINDINGS (F-6..F-10):
- F-6 THE CONTINUOUS LIFE MAY CONSOLIDATE AN EMPTY SET: the daemon forces
the consolidator ON but not the accruer, and realize_comprehension — the
only turn-path writer of realized facts — sits behind the accrual flag.
The two halves of the lived learning loop are gated by different flags
and only one is forced. Undocumented either way.
- F-7 ADR-0008's Allocation Physics LANDED, mutated, ungoverned: curvature
kernel -> salience adapter -> attention threshold plan -> candidate
intersection, with budget feedback making attention SELF-NARROWING
across a walk. InhibitionMask is decoration. top_k=16/threshold=0.3 have
no recorded derivation. CR-1 closes with a one-page ADR.
- F-8 two load-bearing naming traps (comprehend-organ; realize vs realizer).
- F-9 REALIZE is sound; its ceiling is the reader that feeds it (the #138
fabrication locus — measured/pinned/held, recorded not re-discovered).
- F-10 _accrue_in_turn swallows exceptions into a no-op with no telemetry.
Phase 4 seed list consolidated: 8 hindrance candidates, 10 gap candidates,
each with its deciding authority. Method note recorded: three phases of
corrections, and nothing in the chain was caught by re-reading documents.

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.

Note regarding
agents/grok/: Operational guide for using Grok 4.3 + Grok Build with CORE. This is not architecture documentation.
Learning & Evaluation
