Architecture Decision Records

This directory contains the Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for the CORE project.

ADRs record significant architectural decisions: what was decided, why, what alternatives were considered, and what consequences follow. They are permanent records — superseded ADRs are archived, not deleted.

Current frontier

The ADR-0091..0104 slate is fully accepted and mechanically evidenced:

  • Domain Pack Contract v1 — ADR-0091
  • Reviewer Registry v1 — ADR-0092
  • Domain Contract v1 enforcement — ADR-0093
  • Proposal Source Provenance — ADR-0094
  • Miner-Sourced Teaching Proposals — ADR-0095
  • Fabrication-control negative eval lane — ADR-0096
  • mathematics_logic reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0097
  • Demo Composition Contract — ADR-0098
  • Public Showcase Demo — ADR-0099
  • physics reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0100
  • systems_software reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0101
  • hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning multi-pack reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0102
  • Hebrew/Greek fluency lane attachment for ADR-0102 — ADR-0103
  • Curriculum-Sourced Teaching Proposals — ADR-0104

Seven lanes are SHA-pinned in scripts/verify_lane_shas.py and gated by the lane-shas GitHub Actions workflow:

  • reviewer_registry
  • domain_contract_validation
  • miner_loop_closure
  • curriculum_loop_closure
  • fabrication_control_summary
  • demo_composition
  • public_demo

The next implementation frontier is open. Candidate directions include:

  • Expert-demo ratification. All ADR-0097/0100/0101/0102 ledger rows currently sit at reasoning-capable with expert_demo=false. The expert-demo promotion contract remains open for a future ADR.

No ADR currently sits in a "Proposed but unimplemented" state.


Accepted reasoning-capable domains

Domain Ratification ADR Pack(s) Evidence summary
mathematics_logic ADR-0097 en_mathematics_logic_v1 All nine ADR-0091 predicates pass; ledger row is reasoning-capable; expert_demo remains false; lanes include positive coverage, inference closure, and fabrication control.
physics ADR-0100 en_physics_v1 All nine predicates pass; causal/modal operator coverage meets threshold; ledger row is reasoning-capable; expert_demo remains false.
systems_software ADR-0101 en_systems_software_v1 All nine predicates pass; transitive/causal operator coverage meets threshold; ledger row is reasoning-capable; symbolic_logic is the v1 closest-fit eval lane.
hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning ADR-0102 + ADR-0103 grc_logos_micro_v1, grc_logos_cognition_v1, he_logos_micro_v1, he_core_cognition_v1 First multi-pack ratification; all four packs carry uniform contract fields; causal/contradiction operator coverage meets threshold; ADR-0103 attaches Hebrew and Koine Greek fluency lanes with dev/public/holdout coverage.

ADR chain notes

Forward Semantic Control closure — ADR-0022 through ADR-0026

ADR-0022 through ADR-0026 form a single coherent chain that closes forward semantic control as a non-stochastic, replay-deterministic, trace-evidenced mechanism.

  1. ADR-0022 establishes AdmissibilityRegion and the contract that a region restricts the admissible token set at generation time.
  2. ADR-0023 records proof evidence that the admissibility region is honored at the region-intersection level.
  3. ADR-0024 adds destination-side per-step admissibility and honest InnerLoopExhaustion when all admissible candidates are rejected.
  4. ADR-0025 adds rotor/frame admissibility when a region carries a frame_versor.
  5. ADR-0026 replaces static threshold tuning with ranked admissibility and a scale-invariant margin gate.

Runtime contracts for the chain are pinned in docs/runtime_contracts.md.

Pack-layer chain — ADR-0027 through ADR-0045

ADR-0027 through ADR-0045 establish the identity / safety / ethics pack architecture with deterministic remediation, audit completeness, telemetry, operator readout, audit-tour demo, pack measurements, a worked-example medical ethics pack, and long-context comparison measurements.

Evidence-governed domain chain — ADR-0091 through ADR-0103

ADR-0091 through ADR-0103 establish the current domain-ratification substrate:

contract definition
    ↓
reviewer trust root
    ↓
validator / ledger enforcement
    ↓
negative-control fabrication lane
    ↓
reasoning-capable domain ratification
    ↓
language-specific fluency lane attachment

No domain claim should be treated as mature merely because a pack exists. Capability status belongs to the generated ledger and its evidence predicates.

Session logs record the decisions and rationale from individual working sessions. They are not ADRs — they are the narrative record that informed the ADRs.
