Ratifies the remaining three sibling domains as reasoning-capable
under ADR-0091's Domain Pack Contract v1, using the template
ADR-0097 established for mathematics_logic. The capability ledger
now has four reasoning-capable rows backed by validated contracts.
ADR-0100 physics (en_physics_v1):
domain_id: physics
claimed_operators: causal, modal
teaching_chains: [physics_chains_v1]
eval_lanes: foundational_physics_ood, inference_closure,
fabrication_control
9/9 predicates pass
ADR-0101 systems_software (en_systems_software_v1):
domain_id: systems_software
claimed_operators: transitive, causal
teaching_chains: [systems_software_chains_v1]
eval_lanes: symbolic_logic, inference_closure, fabrication_control
9/9 predicates pass
ADR-0102 hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning (FIRST MULTI-PACK ratification):
domain_id: hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning
claimed_operators: causal, contradiction
teaching_chains: [hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning_chains_v1]
eval_lanes: inference_closure, fabrication_control
(universal lanes only — language-specific fluency lanes lack
holdout splits; a separate ADR adds those when holdouts ship)
packs: grc_logos_micro_v1, grc_logos_cognition_v1,
he_logos_micro_v1, he_core_cognition_v1
all four pack contracts identical (uniformity invariant pinned);
all four 9/9 predicates pass
pre-existing gap: hebrew/greek manifests lacked a provenance field
entirely; ratification fills that uniformly across the four packs
44 new ratification tests in test_adr_0100_0102_sibling_ratifications.py:
- 6 parametrized 9-predicate validation tests (one per pack)
- 21 per-domain ledger status assertions (status, reasoning_capable,
expert_demo gated, no_open_gaps, provenance points at correct ADR,
operator_chain_coverage, intent_shapes minimum) — 7 cases × 3 domains
- 15 per-domain contract field shape assertions (teaching_chains,
eval_lanes, splits coverage, axioms/rules null, primary reviewer) —
5 cases × 3 domains
- 2 ADR-0102 multi-pack uniformity invariants (all four packs carry
the contract; contracts identical across packs)
Capability ledger after ratification:
systems_software : reasoning-capable
mathematics_logic : reasoning-capable
physics : reasoning-capable
hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning : reasoning-capable
philosophy_theology : reasoning-capable (no contract; pre-existing)
Lane SHA pin update:
- public_demo pin refreshed (21751aaf.. → 71090323..) — the
ratification adds new manifest fields (provenance,
domain_contract_*) that surface in pack-related demo paths;
intentional ADR-tracked change per the verifier doctrine

ADR-0100 — Physics Reasoning-Capable Ratification
Status: Proposed Date: 2026-05-21 Author: CORE agents + reviewers Depends on: ADR-0091, ADR-0092, ADR-0093, ADR-0096, ADR-0097
Context
The physics substrate is structurally complete:
language_packs/data/en_physics_v1/ships with manifest, lexicon, glosses.teaching/domain_chains/physics_chains_v1.jsonlexists.evals/foundational_physics_ood/exists with dev/public/holdouts.docs/gaps.mdmarks every physics gap closed:gap:physics_pack_absent,gap:physics_causal_chains_below_threshold,gap:physics_modal_chains_below_threshold,gap:physics_intent_shapes_below_threshold— all[x].- Chain coverage: causal=8, modal=8 (≥8 per claimed operator family ✓); five intent shapes populated (cause, comparison, correction, procedure, verification — ≥3 ✓).
What's missing is the ADR-0091 formal ratification step, matching the
template established by ADR-0097 for mathematics_logic.
Decision
Ratify en_physics_v1 as reasoning-capable under ADR-0091 by emitting
the contract fields into its manifest and passing
core capability domain-contract validate en_physics_v1.

Claimed operator families (DOMAIN_OPERATOR_CLAIMS): causal, modal.
axioms and rules stay null at v1 — physics demonstrates reasoning
through reviewed causal/modal chain composition, not declarative axioms.
What this ADR does not do
- Does not introduce new lemmas, chains, or evals.
- Does not promote to
expert-demo. - Does not modify runtime mount behavior.
Invariant
physics_reasoning_capable_ledger_row — core capability ledger emits
a row for domain_id: physics with status: reasoning-capable,
provenance pointing at this ADR, and expert_demo: False until a
future ADR attaches the required audit-tour-equivalent reports.
Lane
No new lane. The four existing lanes carry the evidence:
foundational_physics_ood/(positive coverage)inference_closure/(composition)fabrication_control/(negative control, ADR-0096)evals/domain_contract_validation/(ADR-0093 confirms predicates fire)
PR Checklist
- Capability added: second ratified

physics_reasoning_capable_ledger_row. - Hidden normalization / stochastic fallback / approximate recall / unreviewed mutation: none.
- Trust boundary: manifest edit through reviewed flow; checksums unchanged.
