Completes the all/no/some square. `some` is read for the first time: "All mammals are vertebrates. Some whales are mammals. Therefore some whales are vertebrates." is decided entailed; "All unicorns are horned. Therefore some unicorns are horned." is decided unsettled, with the no-existential-import reading disclosed in the surface. Mechanism (generate/proof_chain/exist.py): v5-VP's per-individual lowering over a domain widened by one Skolem witness per existential premise and — the load-bearing part — one ARBITRARY element per existential conclusion, at which every universal still instantiates and about which no premise asserts anything. Refuting an existential means deriving a universal, and the arbitrary element is what makes that derivation genuine instead of an assumption of domain closure: without it "Rex is a wolf. Rex is not tame. Therefore some wolves are tame." reads as REFUTED from a domain of one wolf. With it, UNKNOWN. Four `en_exist_*` bands earned SERVE at 720x wrong=0 on the first arena seal (25-band ledger); the 32-case hand-authored v2_exist split passed 32/32 first run; full lane 166/166 wrong=0 across six splits. Also fixes a wrong-answer path this work uncovered in Band v1b (ADR-0261 §5.1): `to_syllogism` FILTERED premises it could not express out of the projection and answered from the remainder, so "Aristotle is a philosopher. All philosophers are scholars. Therefore some scholars are philosophers." lost its only witness and was served "that doesn't follow". It now refuses — matching its propositional sibling `to_deductive_logic`, which always has — and the argument falls through to the bands that can hold a singular fact. The categorical band re-earned SERVE 720/720 after the change; both examples are pinned as regression cases. Promotion: `ds-mem-0020` declined -> unknown (ADR-0258's existential scope-out, now read; an anonymous witness never transfers to a named individual, so UNKNOWN is its honest verdict, not entailed). [Verification]: core test --suite deductive 232 passed; reader tests 33/33; register+surface tests 52 passed; arena 25 bands x 720 wrong=0 (all SERVE); lane 166/166 wrong=0; lane SHAs 9/10 match (public_demo drift is pre-existing on the base commit and unrelated — evidence in the Tier-S brief). |

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

- 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

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).
