Source artifacts from the multi-model landing package (README + Super-Blueprint + ADR-0238/0239/0240 + goldtether/dynamic_manifold/surprise) are now the contractual surface, implemented on the live algebra/* kernel: - GoldTetherMonitor.residual/update/may_relax_hitl/force_reset/autonomy - signature_aware_pca (5×K, null-safe), conformal_procrustes, cartan_iwasawa_extract - surprise_residual (Minkowski) + dual_procrustes_surprise audit dict Package stubs (core.algebra.backend placeholders, scipy, identity-only Procrustes) are replaced with dual-corrected Cl(4,1) operators. ADRs match package decision language; docs/adr remains canonical with decisions redirects. 34/34 Third-Door tests + 7/7 ADR-0199 arena regression green.

# ADR-0240: Analogical Transfer Validation Harness + Biography Holonomy Blade
|
|
|
|
**Status**: Proposed (acceptance path: tests green + Josh review)
|
|
**Date**: 2026-07-11
|
|
**Deciders**: Joshua Shay + multi-model R&D
|
|
**Traceability**: Issue #13, parent #10
|
|
**Related**: ADR-0238, ADR-0239, inter-session memory (0055), contemplation (0056), ADR-0151 proposal corridor
|
|
**Canonical path**: `docs/adr/`
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
We now have GoldTether (autonomy modulation) and the Procrustes+Surprise dual (analogical transfer + boundary sensing).
|
|
|
|
We still lack:
|
|
|
|
1. A rigorous, replayable **validation harness** that proves a transfer actually raised epistemic level and did not overfit or fabricate.
|
|
2. A first-class geometric object that records the lifelong holonomy of the identity motor (the Biography Holonomy Blade). This is the "single forever-lived life" made concrete.
|
|
|
|
Without these two, the system cannot safely grow wisdom or ever phase out HITL.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
### 1. Analogical Transfer Validation Harness
|
|
|
|
A sealed, deterministic harness that:
|
|
|
|
- Takes a solved problem (source multivector + proof trace) and a novel target domain.
|
|
- Runs the dual operator (ADR-0239).
|
|
- Measures residual, epistemic elevation posture, and GoldTether residual before/after.
|
|
- Only accepts the transfer if:
|
|
- residual < ε
|
|
- dual-correction passes
|
|
- GoldTether residual does not increase (when monitor supplied)
|
|
- Records accepted transfer metadata for teaching-chain / biography update (proposal path).
|
|
|
|
**Location**: `evals/analogical_transfer/harness.py`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Biography Holonomy Blade
|
|
|
|
A grade-appropriate multivector that records the cumulative holonomy of the identity motor across the entire lived trajectory.
|
|
|
|
It is updated only on successful, validated, dual-corrected experiences. It is the geometric embodiment of "I have lived this life and these are the transformations I have undergone."
|
|
|
|
It is the substrate that later self-authorship miners will read.
|
|
|
|
**Location**: `core/physics/biography.py` — reconstructible via `holonomy_encode` (reconstruction-over-storage; no raw experience dump). Vault field wiring remains one-mutation-path / proposal-gated.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Temporal Admissibility Gate + Self-Authorship Miner (scaffold)
|
|
|
|
- Temporal gate: typed `ADMIT` / `NOT_YET` / `REFUSE` (wisdom as geometry).
|
|
- Self-authorship miner: emits **SPECULATIVE** proposals only with drift residual + closure proof; never writes vault COHERENT.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- CORE now has a complete closed loop for lifelong learning: experience → dual operator → validation → GoldTether update → biography holonomy update.
|
|
- HITL phase-out becomes a measurable geometric condition (high biography coherence + low residual + high floor + `may_relax_hitl()`).
|
|
- Full audit trail of every wisdom gain.
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Notes
|
|
|
|
- Harness: `evals/analogical_transfer/`
|
|
- Biography: `core/physics/biography.py`
|
|
- Temporal: `core/physics/temporal_gate.py`
|
|
- Miner: `core/physics/self_authorship.py`
|
|
- All durable mutations go through the one-mutation-path.
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
- End-to-end lifelong coherence curve test (GoldTether history + telemetry).
|
|
- Transfer fixture with residual below threshold (wrong=0).
|
|
- Biography blade remains closed under reverse product after every update.
|
|
- Miner proposals all SPECULATIVE; deterministic ordering.
