feat(derivation): capability paradigm sprint 10 frontier lift (#823) 
* feat(derivation): capability paradigm sprint 10 frontier lift

Add Gate A2o affine_comparative_inversion_total (0009) and Gate A2p
sequential_comparative_scale (0006). Reject wholesale multiplicative_aggregate
and defer 0013 piecewise calendar until month day-count grounds in text.

Serving: 21/29/0 → 23/27/0, wrong=0 preserved. report.json and sealed
artifacts untouched.

GSM8K Capability Paradigm Sprint 10 — Lookback (2026-06-17)

1. Starting baseline

Metric Value
correct 21
refused 29
wrong 0

After #822 (Sprint 9 post-merge hardening). Prerequisite satisfied.

2. Experience Flywheel output summary

scripts/gsm8k_experience_flywheel.py --limit 50 --out /tmp/gsm8k-experience-sprint10.json

Field Value
retained_record_count 50
lift_refused_to_correct 0
promotion_candidates all blocked_by_wrong_risk or diagnostic hold

Top signals:

  • multiplicative_aggregate:multiplicative_aggregation — 0006, 0013 joint refusal; 0 sealed-wrong on surface tag but wholesale MA blocked by 0025/0047 neighbors.
  • Singletons 0004/0007/0009 — joint_sealed_no_resolution; no candidate_family cluster.
  • Blocked: DCS (0032, 0047), currency (0019, 0028), sealed_elimination (0011, 0026).

3. Scout/frontier/microscope output summary

Regime correct refused wrong
Serving 21 29 0
Sealed (resolve_pooled) 3 39 8
  • lift_refused_to_correct: 0
  • Dominant bottleneck: joint refusal (23/50)
  • Sealed-wrong unchanged: 0011, 0018, 0019, 0025, 0026, 0028, 0032, 0047

Microscope: 0006/0013 tagged multiplicative_aggregate; 0004 fraction surface; 0007 unbound_target; 0009 unbound_target.

4. Candidate families ranked

Rank Family Cases Lift Wrong-risk Verdict
1 piecewise_daily_hours_total 0013 +1 medium Deferred — June=30 not grounded in problem text
2 sequential_comparative_scale 0006 +1 medium Selected (A2p)
3 affine_comparative_inversion_total 0009 +1 low–medium Selected (A2o)
4 multiplicative_aggregate wholesale 0006, 0013 +2? high (0025, 0047) Rejected
5 nested_fraction_partition 0004 +1 high (0026) Rejected
6 loose_inventory_boxing 0007 +1 high (0047) Rejected
— DCS / currency / sealed_elimination — — blocked Deferred

5. Blocked families and why

Family Blocked because
multiplicative_aggregate wholesale 0025, 0047 sealed-wrong share MA surface; 0006/0013 not end-to-end MA
piecewise_daily_hours_total 0013 lacks explicit month day-count token (30 never appears)
nested_fraction_partition 0026 sealed-wrong shares fraction chain
loose_inventory_boxing 0047 sealed-wrong shares divisive packing
DCS / currency / sealed_elimination unchanged blocked set

6. Research gate decision

Proceed with dual narrow organs — not wholesale multiplicative_aggregate.

Arena subagents converged:

  • 0006 and 0013 do not share one safe organ (Sprint 6 decomposition reaffirmed).
  • 0013 blocked on calendar grounding for wrong=0 self-verification.
  • 0009 clears negative-evidence audit (no sealed-wrong neighbor bleed).
  • 0006 admits typed sequential scale chain with body-scoped completeness.

7. Selected paradigm

Dual-organ Sprint 10 (independently narrow, independently verified):

  1. Gate A2o affine_comparative_inversion_total — N more A than M×B + conditional given + total aggregate question.
  2. Gate A2p sequential_comparative_scale — initial pages + ordered times longer / previous length scale chain.

Rejected: broad MA parser, piecewise calendar without grounded days, 0004/0007 singletons, product_bridge, DCS injector.

8. Typed chains for target cases

0009 (gold 185): chickens = (150−10)/4 = 35 → total = 150+35 = 185.

0006 (gold 480): 8×5×3×4 = 480 (running page-length scale chain; age/year scaffolding excluded from completeness).

0013 (deferred): needs days_half = 30×½ but 30 is not in problem text.

9. Implemented organs

Module Promotion entry
generate/derivation/affine_comparative_inversion_total.py resolve_promotable_affine_comparative_inversion_total
generate/derivation/sequential_comparative_scale.py resolve_promotable_sequential_comparative_scale

Wired in generate/math_candidate_graph.py after Gate A2n.

10. Before/after score

Metric Before After Δ
correct 21 23 +2
refused 29 27 −2
wrong 0 0 0

State A achieved: 23/27/0 (target was 23+/27-/0).

11. Newly solved IDs

0006, 0009

12. Preserved solved IDs

0001, 0002, 0003, 0005, 0008, 0010, 0014, 0015, 0017, 0018, 0021, 0024, 0025, 0029, 0030, 0035, 0037, 0038, 0042, 0045, 0046

13. Wrong=0 proof

  • Full train_sample replay: 23 / 27 / 0
  • tests/test_math_candidate_graph_sprint10_frontier_lift.py::TestTrainSampleScore
  • Holdout_dev: wrong=0 (no new admissions required)
  • Smoke suite: 108 passed
  • Regression lane: 272+ passed (excluding pre-existing report.json historical pin drift)

14. Confuser matrix

Confuser Organ Result
Actor mismatch in conditional A2o refuse
No conditional given A2o refuse
Yield / non-nested comparative A2o refuse
Asks age not pages A2p refuse
Doubled weight (holdout shape) A2p refuse
Single scale step only A2p refuse
MA 0025 basket shape A2p refuse
MA 0047 macaroon shape A2p refuse
0013 calendar without day token piecewise (deferred) refuse

15. Sibling generality proof

  • A2o sibling: 6 more apples than 3× oranges + conditional → (42−6)/3+42
  • A2p sibling: 12 pages + 3× longer + 2× longer + 5× previous → 12×3×2×5

16. Sealed-wrong negative evidence used

  • Rejected wholesale MA: 0025 (group under-count), 0047 (remainder vs total)
  • Rejected 0004: 0026 fraction/money chain
  • Rejected 0007: 0047 divisive packing
  • A2o/A2p confuser tests include 0025/0047 surface shapes

17. Composition-validation pin changes

None. No new cv rows; organs gated by self-verification only.

18. report.json untouched

Yes.

19. Sealed artifacts untouched

Yes.

20. No case-id logic

Yes.

21. No hardcoded answer

Yes.

22. No direct-answer shortcut

Yes.

23. Sprint 11 recommendation

Primary: Ratify piecewise_daily_hours_total only after calendar grounding policy — either require explicit month day-count in problem text or a pinned, tested month-length table with confusers (0014 single-rate, 0017 tariff, MA opener misparse).

Secondary: Revisit 0013 jointly with temporal exemplar ta-v1-0001 injection design — not recognizer widening.

Non-goals: DCS (0032/0047), currency (0019/0028), sealed_elimination (0011/0026), 0004 nested fraction until 0026 confuser matrix, 0007 boxing until 0047 confuser matrix.

Experience Flywheel: Continue compaction; no serving promotion from flywheel alone until lift_refused_to_correct > 0 with sealed-wrong clearance.
