Turns the D0 "likely vacuous" annotation on ADR-0244 §2.3 into a re-runnable proof that ΔQ_top = 0 is a hollow egress gate (the #19-pseudoscalar failure mode). evals/adr_0244_qtop_vacuity/ — computes Q_top = <psi I5 ~psi>_0 on the real Cl(4,1) algebra and finds: (1) Q_top = 0.000e+00 EXACTLY across every unit versor (spatial rotors AND boosts through e5, and products) — I5 is central so psi I5 ~psi = I5*(psi ~psi) = I5 for a unit versor, scalar part 0; (2) off the versor manifold Q_top = -grade5(psi ~psi), nonzero only where the I-05 closure residual already fires; (3) it is a conserved Spin(4,1) invariant but identically 0 on the valid manifold; (4) the decisive test — an aligned identity and an adversarially-rotated one (a valid versor, overlap 0.963) both read Q_top = 0, so ΔQ_top = 0 PASSES the attack the spectral-leakage/closure check actually catches. Typed JSON artifact + CLI (exit 0 iff proven_vacuous). tests/test_adr_0244_qtop_vacuity.py — pins each step + off-serving quarantine. Docs: ADR-0244 §2.3 annotation upgraded "likely vacuous" -> "PROVEN vacuous — retire from egress"; audit-doc Q4 marked RESOLVED with the evidence. Verdict: do NOT wire ΔQ_top = 0 as an egress admit condition; keep Q_top, if at all, as a closure-derived diagnostic. Closes the first of the two ADR-0244 D4 blockers with proof. [Verification]: qtop eval 8 tests green; CLI proven_vacuous=true; smoke below. |

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.
