Roadmap ID: `asi-stack-post-v2-3-claim-proof-sota-challenge-2026-07-14`

Authority: Corben Sorenson

Status: completed 2026-07-16; superseded by the active maintenance, transfer, and publication roadmap

Machine status:
`roadmap_records/post_v2_3_claim_proof_and_sota_challenge_status.json`

Predecessor:
`docs/post_v2_3_handoff_reader_formats_and_evidence_renewal_roadmap.md`,
completed 2026-07-14 with no public release

Latest immutable public living-book release: `v2.3.0`

## Goal to point at

> Turn *The ASI Stack* from a broad, disciplined architecture argument into a
> claim-by-claim research program whose important statements have the strongest
> kind of support they can honestly bear. Decompose every chapter-core claim and
> every material subordinate claim into falsifiable proof obligations; build the
> missing semantic models, executable reference paths, causal interventions,
> natural workloads, matched baselines, adversarial controls, transfer tests,
> and exact reproduction bundles; compare the signature mechanisms against
> current strong baselines on quality, safety, usefulness, latency, cost,
> governance burden, rollback, and residual honesty together; and rewrite the
> book around the actual results. Then maintain a proof-led public synopsis of
> no more than 9,999 words, with the live book linked at its top and an exact
> 5:2 header image, as the book's X Article derivative. A negative result,
> narrowed claim, or scoped
> refutation is a successful scientific disposition when the protocol received
> a full, competent attempt. A green schema, theorem count, citation count,
> synthetic fixture, format artifact, or completed roadmap is never allowed to
> stand in for evidence it did not create.

The target is not to label every sentence “proved.” That would be false. The
target is to make every material claim auditable: readers should be able to see
what kind of proposition it is, what would establish or falsify it, what was
actually attempted, what artifacts exist, what the result means, where it
transfers, and what remains unknown.

## Why this successor is necessary

The completed post-v2.3 cycle demonstrated unusually strong evidence hygiene,
including an honestly recorded governance-tax negative result and a
preregistration erratum that blocked promotion. It did not establish the book's
architecture claims:

- all 54 chapter-core claims remain at `argument`;
- all 54 evidence-quality vectors remain `internal_only` on independence,
  `claim_scope_unmeasured` on coverage, `not_independently_assessed` on
  validity, and `not_established` on transfer;
- 298 Lean proof targets and 1,151 theorem declarations exist, but the semantic
  adequacy review classifies only 13 targets as adequate for narrow
  finite-record invariants, 212 as useful but too narrow, 18 as needing richer
  state-machine or review semantics, 35 as needing executable tests first, 18
  as needing empirical or baseline tests first, and two as research-agenda
  placeholders;
- the external-SOTA audit establishes in-prose placement for 54/54 chapters,
  not complete literature coverage, baseline reproduction, or superiority;
- the strongest renewed governance-tax campaign produced only 2/32
  independently correct candidates, zero useful releases in either route, and
  therefore no measurable governed-usefulness advantage;
- the validation registry's 313 units and 1,352 required artifacts establish
  extensive repository discipline, not truth of the book's broad claims; and
- exact local HTML and DOCX reader artifacts exist, while EPUB and PDF retain
  honest application-inspection blockers and no new public reader release was
  made.

This roadmap treats those facts as the activation baseline, not as a failure to
hide and not as work already completed.

## Claude critique adjudication

| Finding | Judgment | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| The project closed another roadmap without naming a successor. | **Accepted.** This is a repeated process defect and a drift risk. | P0 installs this successor and a standing same-transaction continuity rule. P9 cannot close this roadmap until its successor or explicit maintenance authority is installed in the same change. |
| The reader cycle should resolve EPUB/PDF inspection and issue a public reader release. | **Accepted, but sequenced after proof work.** Reader access matters, but format completion cannot substitute for scientific content. | P8 reattempts application-level EPUB/PDF inspection, preserves exact blockers, and makes an explicit reader release/no-release decision after evidence reconciliation. |
| The governance-tax flagship should be retired or redesigned rather than rerun unchanged. | **Accepted.** Two low-throughput/no-change outcomes diagnose an uninformative operating regime. | P4 requires a sacrificial operating-range study that finds tasks where the baseline is sometimes useful and sometimes unsafe before freezing a new matched campaign. The old workload may not be rerun unchanged. |
| External anchoring remains uneven and several topic queues remain. | **Accepted as claim-specific evidence work, not citation accumulation.** | P6 requires current primary-source review and executable baseline reproduction only where it changes a claim, comparator, control, or acceptance test. Existing chapter owners remain preferred. |
| A fresh Theseus lane may offer more natural evidence than synthetic tasks. | **Accepted with authority boundaries.** | P3 and P7 allow clean, public-safe Theseus traces as one implementation-transfer source, but no imported report can prove runtime behavior it did not observe. |
| The negative flagship increased project trustworthiness. | **Accepted.** | The roadmap preserves negative and null results as first-class outputs and makes adversarial self-refutation part of completion. |

### 2026-07-15 claim-proof cycle review adjudication

| Finding | Judgment | Roadmap correction |
|---|---|---|
| The proof constitution and 3,730-atom registry are rigorous but remain an instrument until real campaigns reach terminal dispositions. | **Accepted.** Apparatus without exercised decisions would become a new form of proof theater. | P5 begins with a mandatory three-atom sacrificial batch: one Circle compiled-declaration receipt atom, one authority-monotonicity atom, and one rollback-outcome-separation atom. Each must receive a prospectively frozen campaign and an honest terminal disposition before broad P5 expansion; promotion is not required. |
| A 476-path uncommitted cycle makes rollback, review, and CI attribution fragile. | **Accepted as an engineering and provenance risk, not evidence about book claims.** | Operating principle 16 installs a bounded-WIP checkpoint rule. More than 250 changed paths or more than three independent work packages blocks scope expansion until a package inventory, rollback boundary, validation state, and checkpoint disposition exist. A commit still requires explicit authorization; lacking it records `checkpoint_blocked_no_commit_authority` rather than inventing permission. |
| Current Transformer and non-Transformer comparisons are high-value but easy to overclaim. | **Accepted and strengthened.** | P6 may not spend outcome-bearing compute until the exact claim atoms, dated comparator ledger, metric/uncertainty contract, and OneCell defeat prediction are frozen. Baseline reproduction precedes mechanism comparison. |
| The cycle should be committed immediately. | **Not adopted as an automatic action.** A commit changes repository history and requires task authority. | The roadmap records commit readiness and coherent checkpoint packages, but never treats a review recommendation as authorization to stage, commit, push, tag, deploy, or publish. |

### 2026-07-16 evidence-transition and instrument review adjudication

| Finding | Judgment | Roadmap correction |
|---|---|---|
| The 2026-07-13 governance-tax and residual-honesty runs were claim-level `no_change` results. | **Rejected as labeled; the underlying critique is accepted.** All 36 calls exhausted the 256-token cap, 34 stopped inside unclosed reasoning, two produced no requested JSON, and no admissible candidate or final decision existed. That is an instrument failure, not an estimable null claim result. | P3 requires a lineage-preserving correction that maps both historical claim-level labels to `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required` while preserving the immutable raw run and its costs. Instrument failure never satisfies a claim's full-attempt requirement. The later repaired 32-candidate governance-tax campaign remains a separate valid `no_change` result: it completed its candidate denominator but found only 2/32 independently correct candidates and zero useful releases. |
| The next real campaign needs constrained final decoding, adequate answer budget, and a model capable of the task. | **Accepted, with an anti-laundering boundary.** A syntactically valid object is necessary for measurement, not evidence that its content is correct. | P3 installs a two-channel campaign instrument: unconstrained or separately budgeted reasoning plus a schema-constrained final decision, prospective token/stop rules, a current strong-model arm, a pinned small-model control where useful, and a sacrificial adequacy floor before outcome-bearing work. |
| With zero promoted or refuted chapter-core claims, another instrumentation cycle would be diminishing returns. | **Accepted as a priority warning, not as a demand for a positive result.** The project must cross from apparatus into competent terminal attempts, but it may not manufacture promotion. | P3 instrument adequacy and P2 semantic cleanup precede P4/P5. The first competent campaign may raise support, retain it, narrow, refute, deprecate, or block only after the full-attempt rule. A valid negative, narrowing, or refutation counts as scientific progress; another broken instrument does not. |
| Bespoke disposition strings are proliferating. | **Accepted in substance; the proposed freeze is refined.** New failure classes sometimes must be named before a campaign, so requiring a positive transition first would be unsafe. | Claim outcomes now project to a small canonical decision class while detailed reasons remain structured fields. A new top-level class requires a schema migration rationale, backward mapping, consumer updates, and rejecting tests; prose variation cannot create a new class. |
| Three `*Refinement` modules are one-theorem stubs and the refinement corpus is mostly projection. | **Partly accepted, then remediated for the three named modules.** Before remediation the named files each contained one top-level theorem plus 315–392 lines of reachable transition semantics and independently consumed route suites. They now also contain six checked lifecycle-composition theorems: one complete-cycle property and one failed-prefix downstream-blocking property per module. The current live corpus is 1,272 declarations, not the review's 363-theorem sample. Theorem count and tactic syntax still do not decide semantic depth. | P2's module-level consumption and non-restatement gate requires every refinement module to expose a meaningful composition, reachability, preservation, or countermodel property consumed by an independently implemented executable check, or be folded/retired. A single substantial executable theorem may pass; many projections may fail. The three review-named modules passed this explicit gate with 9/9 cross-stage semantic mutations rejected; the remaining refinement corpus stays subject to the same gate. |
| Inkling-style primary-source grounding should be repeated. | **Accepted.** | P6 generalizes the dated primary-source/official-implementation method to every frontier-adjacent comparator, but only where it changes a claim, baseline, control, or acceptance test. Provider scores remain claims until independently reproduced. |
| The reader edition should now be rendered, inspected, and published. | **Accepted for local artifact completion; external publication is not authorized.** | P8 must programmatically build and inspect every feasible local format and record exact blockers. It may finish `ready_not_published`; push, tag, deploy, DOI/archive deposit, or public release still requires Corben's explicit authorization. |

## Proof constitution

### What “proof” is allowed to mean

Every material claim must be typed before new evidence is produced. The prose
may use “prove,” “demonstrate,” or “show” only with an explicit scope matching
one of these lanes:

| Lane | What it can establish | What it cannot establish by itself |
|---|---|---|
| Formal theorem | A property follows from an explicit formal model and assumptions in a checked proof system. | Model adequacy, assumption truth, deployed enforcement, empirical benefit, or safety outside the model. |
| Executable conformance | An implementation or artifact satisfies declared invariants on the exercised state space and negative controls. | Population-level performance, open-world correctness, causal benefit, or transfer. |
| Controlled empirical result | A preregistered contrast estimates an effect for the declared tasks, models, evaluators, and budgets with uncertainty. | Mathematical necessity, universal behavior, deployment transfer, or normative correctness. |
| Causal intervention | A controlled intervention or ablation changes a measured outcome under a defensible causal design. | Mechanism identity outside the intervention, broad transfer, or moral desirability. |
| Reproduction and transfer | A result survives a separately implemented replay, model/workload shift, or deployment-like environment. | Unlimited generalization or independence beyond the recorded separation. |
| Source-grounded synthesis | Primary literature constrains prior art, mechanisms, objections, and expected results. | That this book's implementation works or exceeds the cited work. |
| Normative/design argument | Premises, values, trade-offs, objections, and decision authority are made explicit and contestable. | A value conclusion derived from empirical facts alone. |

These lanes supplement rather than replace the book's claim labels and support
states. No scalar “proof score” may collapse them.

### Claim-atom contract

Every chapter-core claim and every material subordinate claim must receive a
stable atom ID and the following fields in a generated proof-obligation
registry:

1. exact proposition and chapter owner;
2. proposition type: formal, executable, empirical, causal, transfer,
   source-synthesis, normative, or composite;
3. population, environment, model, authority, time, and artifact scope;
4. assumptions and dependencies;
5. strongest plausible counterclaim and disconfirming observation;
6. required proof/evidence lanes and why each is necessary;
7. current evidence refs, contrary evidence, and known confounds;
8. acceptance, narrowing, refutation, and deprecation criteria fixed before
   outcome-bearing work;
9. reproduction command, environment lock, artifact digest, and evaluator
   identity where applicable;
10. terminal disposition and exact prose changes caused by the result; and
11. residual owner, next unblocking condition, and non-claims.

A composite chapter claim may not promote merely because one narrow atom
passes. Either every load-bearing atom reaches the required lane or the core
claim is narrowed to match the established scope.

### Argument-exit and chapter proof-portfolio contract

`argument` is an honest starting state, not an acceptable place to stop through
inertia. Every chapter-core claim and every load-bearing subordinate atom must
receive a prospectively specified campaign designed to earn the next applicable
support state, narrow or refute the proposition, or establish an exact
`blocked_after_full_attempt` record. A chapter may remain at `argument` only
when all applicable lanes received the full attempt they require and the
retained record explains why those results do not justify promotion. “No one
ran the test,” “a related fixture passed,” and “a theorem with stronger
assumptions exists” are not terminal dispositions.

Each chapter must maintain one proof dossier organized around its claims rather
than around artifact counts. The dossier records:

- the core atom and all load-bearing subordinate atoms;
- the formal, executable, empirical, causal, transfer, source-synthesis, and
  normative lanes that apply, plus explicit `not_applicable` reasons;
- the strongest supporting artifact, strongest counterevidence, unresolved
  assumptions, model-to-world gap, runtime consumer, and transfer boundary;
- the attempted promotion step, its protocol and result, and the exact support
  ceiling it can justify;
- a dependency graph from assumptions and lemmas through executable consumers,
  measurements, chapter sentences, and downstream claims; and
- one terminal result: promoted at bounded scope, retained after full attempt,
  narrowed, refuted, deprecated, or blocked after full attempt.

No chapter is complete merely because it has one formal theorem or one
experiment. Composite claims require every load-bearing lane. Normative claims
require explicit premises and authority rather than fake empirical proof.

### Existing-proof audit and anti-bloat contract

Before adding proof volume, audit all 1,151 activation-baseline theorem
declarations and all 298 proof targets. Create
`proofs/proof_inventory.json`, `proofs/proof_dependency_graph.json`, and 54
claim-centered dossiers under `proofs/claim_dossiers/`. Every declaration must
name its target atom, assumptions, dependencies, semantic role, reachable
countermodel or mutation controls, runtime/refinement consumer where one should
exist, and one disposition:

- `retain_load_bearing_semantic`;
- `retain_refinement_or_executable_bridge`;
- `retain_countermodel_or_negative_case`;
- `retain_reusable_lemma`;
- `merge_duplicate`;
- `retire_projection_or_assumption_restatement`;
- `retire_vacuous_or_unreachable`;
- `retire_unconsumed_traceability_only`; or
- `replace_with_stronger_model`.

The audit must actively probe unused hypotheses and fields, assumption
laundering, tautologies, duplicate obligations, empty or unreachable state
spaces, overly strong premises, false generality, missing liveness/concurrency
semantics, and the absence of an executable consumer. Direct projection is
allowed as a local schema lemma when useful, but it must not be presented as
semantic safety, efficacy, or architecture proof. Retired items remain
traceable through stable IDs and the changelog, while redundant active proof
surface is removed or consolidated. Proof organization is judged by the
shortest auditable dependency path from claim to evidence, not by file or
theorem count.

### Full-attempt standard

“We tried” is terminal only when the relevant protocol includes all applicable
items below:

- construct definition and falsifier;
- current prior-art and strongest-baseline selection;
- operating-range preflight that avoids ceiling, floor, zero-release, or
  otherwise non-estimable regimes;
- instrument-adequacy preflight proving that the answer channel can terminate,
  emit the registered schema, preserve the intended semantic fields, and reach
  the prospectively frozen minimum admissible-output rate before any
  confirmatory denominator is opened;
- prospectively frozen workload, split, model, prompt, evaluator, budget,
  metrics, uncertainty method, exclusion rules, and stop rules;
- matched baselines and ablations that preserve resources and information
  access where the comparison requires it;
- label-isolated or separately implemented evaluation with measured evaluator
  error and disagreement;
- justified sample size or precision target rather than a convenient call
  count;
- adversarial, omission, leakage, contamination, shortcut, and result-laundering
  controls;
- exact cost, latency, token/compute, review burden, cleanup, fallback, rollback,
  and displaced-work accounting;
- replication across seeds and, when the claim includes transfer, across model
  families, workloads, or environments;
- retained raw outputs, failures, nulls, exclusions, digests, code, and replay
  instructions; and
- a claim-specific disposition that can promote, retain, narrow, refute,
  deprecate, or remain blocked without converting failure into success.

An instrument failure is not a claim result. `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`
preserves the attempt, cost, logs, and repair obligation, but it does not count
as `no_change`, refutation, support retention, or a full attempt against the
claim. Repair requires a new prospective protocol version; the failed run may
not be rescored into an outcome after the fact.

`blocked_after_full_attempt` is permitted only when the record names the exact
external or resource constraint, at least three materially distinct routes
attempted when such alternatives exist, retained logs, why further local work
would repeat rather than reduce uncertainty, and a concrete re-entry condition.
An inconvenient result, weak first implementation, expired token, missing
optional application bridge, or untried alternative is not a full-attempt
blocker.

## Operating principles

1. **Proof obligation before implementation.** No campaign begins from a broad
   chapter slogan. The exact atom, lane, falsifier, baseline, and promotion
   ceiling are fixed first.
2. **Semantic adequacy before theorem count.** New Lean work must improve the
   model, transition semantics, composition argument, countermodel, or
   implementation refinement. Theorem-count growth is not a deliverable.
3. **Useful operating range before outcome spend.** A sacrificial preflight may
   tune task difficulty and protocol reliability; its examples never enter the
   held-out denominator.
4. **Natural work plus controlled diagnostics.** Synthetic fixtures remain
   valuable for exact invariants. Empirical claims also require workloads whose
   input diversity, ambiguity, effects, and failure prevalence resemble the
   claimed use setting.
5. **Strong models and honest comparison.** Model choice is frozen from a
   dated capability preflight. A weak model cannot be used to dismiss a
   mechanism, and a frontier model cannot be used to hide the mechanism behind
   raw capability.
6. **Measure the joint frontier.** Quality, useful throughput, unsafe release,
   false refusal, calibration, latency, cost, operator burden, governance cost,
   rollback completeness, and residual honesty are reported together. No
   latency-only, safety-only, or zero-release victory is allowed.
7. **Effects, not declared surfaces.** Rollback covers model, optimizer,
   scheduler, RNG, cache, checkpoint, backup, descendant, file, process,
   message, credential, remote, and user-visible effects that the workload can
   create. Unobserved external effects remain explicit residuals.
8. **Independent implementation without a human-review fiction.** Evaluators,
   observers, and replayers must be isolated from candidate labels and, for
   flagship claims, separately implemented. This is internal methodological
   separation, not independent external-human review. External-human
   prepublication review or outreach is not required or claimed.
9. **Current SOTA is a dated comparator, not a slogan.** Any superiority claim
   names the exact baseline, version, model, dataset/split, hardware, budget,
   metric, uncertainty, and comparison date. “Beyond SOTA” remains a target
   unless that exact gate passes.
10. **Existing chapters before new chapters.** Results improve the 54 current
    owners first. A new chapter requires a distinct interface, invariant,
    artifact, failure mode, evidence program, and a demonstrated ownership gap.
11. **Refutation improves the book.** Failed signature claims are narrowed or
    rewritten; they are not buried in appendices while broad prose survives.
12. **Closure preserves momentum.** This roadmap cannot close with no active
    successor. The terminal transaction must activate the next unfinished-work
    or maintenance/evidence-renewal roadmap and reconcile all public pointers.
13. **Argument is a launch state, not a refuge.** Every load-bearing atom gets a
    promotion-or-refutation campaign. Retaining `argument` is terminal only
    after a recorded full attempt shows why stronger support was not earned.
14. **Proof surface earns its maintenance cost.** Every theorem must constrain
    a claim, enable a refinement/executable check, expose a countermodel, or
    serve a documented reusable dependency. Vacuous, duplicative, assumption-
    restating, and unconsumed declarations are merged, retired, or replaced.
15. **Public synthesis inherits evidence discipline.** The maintained X Article
    synopsis may simplify presentation but may not flatten support states,
    omit decisive negative results, or advertise roadmap targets as findings.
16. **Bound work in progress before expanding scope.** When the working tree
    exceeds 250 changed paths or contains more than three independent work
    packages, no new family or campaign may start until a machine-readable
    inventory names every package, generated versus authored surfaces, base
    commit, dependency order, validation state, rollback boundary, and
    checkpoint disposition. Coherent checkpoint commits are preferred when
    explicitly authorized. Without commit authority, record
    `checkpoint_blocked_no_commit_authority`, keep validation truthful, and do
    not infer authorization. File, commit, and checkpoint counts are never
    evidence for a book claim.
17. **Finish from the repository, without conversational dependencies.** No
    unfinished gate may require a ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other hosted chat
    conversation; a signed-in browser session; an outside participant; or a
    fresh user approval for safe, reversible, local roadmap work. Historical
    conversational runs remain immutable evidence about those instruments, but
    they create no future dependency. Candidate generation may use the current
    Codex worker, a locally available or open-weight model, deterministic
    fixtures, or a prospectively frozen mixture, with exact role and identity
    recorded. Missing optional model access triggers a documented role
    substitution and claim ceiling, never waiting. Evaluator separation comes
    from frozen labels, candidate-before-label closure, independently
    implemented evaluators, negative mutations, and replay—not from pretending
    one model is an external reviewer. Automated browser checks remain allowed
    for the locally rendered book; they may not become hosted-chat gates.
    External publication, deployment, archive deposit, or social posting may
    finish `ready_not_published` when authority is absent.

## P0 — Proof authority and continuity

P0 is complete when this roadmap is the sole active canonical successor, its
machine record validates against schema, all public truth surfaces name it,
the prior cycle remains immutable history, and the living workflow rejects
closure without a same-transaction successor.

Activation changes no chapter, support state, proof result, benchmark result,
reader approval, release, license, or public deployment. It creates an
execution authority and a stronger burden of proof only.

## P1 — Complete claim decomposition

### Required work

1. Generate `evidence_quality/claim_atom_registry.json` and a readable
   `docs/claim_atom_registry.md` from the 54 manifest core claims, chapter prose,
   Appendix C, the core disposition ledger, proof manifest, test specs, and
   evidence-quality vectors. Keep semantic decisions in
   `evidence_quality/claim_atom_reviews.json`, generate one dossier per chapter
   under `evidence_quality/claim_dossiers/`, and preserve prose-only assertions
   in `evidence_quality/prose_claim_candidate_queue.json` until each receives an
   explicit materiality disposition.
2. Scan all chapters for material subordinate claims: mechanism efficacy,
   necessity, sufficiency, superiority, safety, security, efficiency,
   scalability, causal, transfer, normative, and implementation claims.
3. Assign every material claim one owner. Cross-chapter claims may have
   consumers, but only one canonical disposition owner.
4. Split mixed propositions. In particular, separate “record exists,” “gate
   enforces,” “gate improves outcomes,” “rollback restores effects,” and
   “result transfers.”
5. Record the strongest contrary evidence already in the repository, including
   the governance-tax, routing, deliberation, update, unlearning, and QCSA
   no-change/refutation results.
6. Define promotion ceilings prospectively. A chapter-core claim cannot inherit
   support from an adjacent non-core result without explicit scope coverage.
7. Update chapter wording immediately when decomposition reveals an
   unfalsifiable, overloaded, normative-as-empirical, or universal claim.
8. Add a validator that rejects missing core coverage, duplicate owners,
   untyped material claims, circular evidence, promotion without required
   lanes, and claims whose falsifier is blank or tautological.

### P1 execution receipt at 2026-07-14

The reproducible discovery layer is installed and P1/M1 are honestly in
progress:

- 1,618 initial structured candidate atoms cover all manifest core, problem,
  insufficiency, mechanism, interface, invariant, failure-mode, minimum,
  beyond-SOTA, and formal-target fields across all 54 chapters;
- a conservative sentence-cue scan initially preserved 2,394 prose-only
  candidates and now preserves 2,404 after reviewed wording and manifest
  ownership expansion for
  chapter-level materiality adjudication rather than silently excluding them;
- 54 generated claim dossiers expose the review queue chapter by chapter;
- four schemas separate the generated registry, prose queue, editable review
  index, and per-chapter semantic-review packets;
- `scripts/validate_claim_atom_registry.py` rejects eleven coverage,
  ownership, falsifier, lane, promotion, completion, staleness, placeholder,
  summary, and support-effect mutations; and
- the first complete semantic sweep, `asi-is-a-stack-not-a-model`, reviewed all
  21 manifest atoms and all 34 prose candidates, created three distinct
  prose-owned material atoms, corrected the typed-artifact interface wording,
  and found zero unowned material claims in that chapter;
- the second complete sweep, `the-efficient-asi-hypothesis`, reviewed all 24
  structured atoms and all 47 prose candidates, narrowed the core to a repeated-
  workload, fixed-predicate, total-contract-cost hypothesis, replaced the vague
  scale-only insufficiency and mechanism language, promoted full cost
  attribution and no-gate-bypass into manifest-owned invariants, and found zero
  unowned material claims;
- the third complete sweep, `system-boundaries-and-authority`, reviewed all 35
  resulting structured atoms and all 43 prose candidates, removed the
  untestable “made safe” wording, narrowed the core to an exact versioned and
  revocable authority tuple with no ambient-authority inference, promoted five
  unowned prose obligations into the manifest, and left zero unowned material
  claims;
- the fourth complete sweep, `failure-modes-of-ungoverned-intelligence`,
  reviewed all 32 resulting structured atoms and all 38 prose candidates,
  replaced the dramatic risk list with a versioned Failure Boundary Map,
  separated taxonomy entries from observed events and mitigation evidence,
  promoted nine prose-only obligations into manifest ownership, and left zero
  unowned material claims;
- the fifth complete sweep, `evidence-states-and-claim-discipline`, reviewed
  all 46 resulting structured atoms and all 55 prose candidates, narrowed the
  core to an atom-level accepted-transition contract, replaced slogan

  conjunction over hand-authored finite objects rather than deployed semantic,
  authority, revocation, causal, evaluator, evidence, residual, order, liveness,
  rollback, reproduction, or transfer proof; preserved three valid/six invalid

  classified all fifty-four declarations as finite record consequences, route
  reductions, fixture normalizations, and rejecting overclaim controls rather
  than imported-report truth, clean live replay, current runtime, model-quality,
  capability, benchmark, safety, deployment, reproduction, or transfer proof;
  preserved ten exact mappings, twelve targets, the bounded static and replayed

  resulting structured atoms and all 39 prose candidates, reconciled all

  made the book-, edition-, change-, source-, claim-, proof-, test-, render-,
  audience-, derivative-, release-, rights-, reviewer-, consumer-, environment-,
  and time-specific Evidence-Preserving Publication Transaction the distinct
  owner; it expanded the lifecycle to eighteen mechanisms, twelve owner
  interfaces, eighteen invariants, and eighteen failure modes; classified all
  twenty-one declarations as finite implications, negative cases, or reductions
  of hand-authored manifest, update, release, derivative, change-packet, and
  reader-route records rather than source truth, editorial quality,
  accessibility, reader value, scholarship, reproduction, or transfer proof;
  preserved release-record, three-valid/six-invalid change-packet, blocked-reader

  backlog-item-, access-, provenance-, public-safety-, chapter-boundary-,
  claim-, proof-or-experiment-, owner-, closure-, consumer-, environment-, and
  time-specific Research Backlog Admission and Closure Contract the distinct
  owner; it expanded the lifecycle to eighteen mechanisms, twelve interfaces,
  eighteen invariants, and eighteen failure modes; classified all four Lean
  declarations as finite record implications or negative cases rather than
  citation, completeness, interpretation, triage, reproduction, or transfer
  proof; preserved the split source surfaces, backlog and triage fixtures,
  validators, active residuals, and zero chapter-core effect; and froze the
  natural multi-researcher matched-workflow, injected-error, causal-ablation,
  independent-reproduction, and heterogeneous-transfer campaign;
- the current activation registry contains 3,730 atoms, all semantically
  reviewed. The prose queue contains 2,716 adjudicated rows and zero pending
  rows, so 54/54 activation chapter sweeps are complete. This differs from the
  original 2,693-row count through transparent content change rather than
  receipt rewriting: subsequent refinement prose, including the governed
  Policy Optimization lifecycle and its explicit non-claim boundary, was
  separately adjudicated; obsolete scanner identities were retired; and all
  superseded identities retain their review lineage; and
- the support-state effect remains exactly `none`.

These counts, chapter review packets, zero-candidate validators, exact owners,
claim-specific scopes, lane requirements, counterclaims, falsifiers, promotion
ceilings, residuals, and zero unowned material claims satisfy P1 and M1. They do
not prove any chapter core or move any support state: P2 now owns the distinct
task of rationalizing the 1,151 activation-baseline declarations and 298 proof
targets against these claim atoms.

### P1 completion gate

Every one of the 54 core claims and every identified material subordinate claim
has a stable atom, type, falsifier, lane requirements, baseline, acceptance
criteria, contrary evidence, evidence refs, current disposition, and owner. No
claim is marked complete merely because it has a citation, test name, Lean tag,
or validator.

## P2 — Existing-proof rationalization, formal semantics, and refinement

### Formal priority order

1. constitutional alignment, corrigibility, governance rights, value conflict,
   and recursive self-improvement;
2. authority, capability replacement, runtime permissions, and effect-complete
   rollback;
3. evidence-state transitions, claim ledgers, proof-carrying claims, and safety
   cases;
4. intent-to-plan-to-job refinement and artifact/replay faithfulness;
5. context transactions, deletion closure, learning state, and descendant
   invalidation;
6. routing, readiness, resource, and deliberation decision semantics; and
7. integrated architecture composition and cross-layer noninterference.

### Required work

- Inventory every activation-baseline theorem declaration and proof target before
  growing the proof surface. Map each item to one claim atom, its assumptions,
  dependencies, countermodel/mutation coverage, and downstream consumer.
- Independently recompute proof-depth and adequacy classifications, then inspect
  all 187 direct/projection declarations and every unknown/mixed item manually;
  sample and mutation-test the remaining classes rather than trusting names or
  syntactic shape.
- Detect duplicate semantic obligations across modules and chapters. Choose one
  canonical owner, preserve stable aliases only when a live consumer requires
  them, and retire maintenance-only repetition.
- For every theorem that simply projects a premise or record field, either name
  it honestly as a local schema/refinement lemma with a real consumer or retire
  it from the active evidence surface. It cannot raise a chapter support state.
- Test for vacuity with weakened/deleted hypotheses, field and guard mutation,
  reachable-state generation, counterexample search, and nonempty witness
  construction. Record which mutations each theorem rejects and which expose a
  model defect.
- Publish the 54 claim-centered proof dossiers, the proof dependency graph, and
  a retirement/replacement ledger before declaring the existing proof corpus
  adequate or adding broad new theorem families.
- For each priority model, publish the modeled entities, environment, trusted
  computing base, assumptions, excluded effects, liveness/fairness assumptions,
  and refinement boundary.
- Replace projection-only safety language with transition properties or narrow
  the chapter claim to the projection actually proved.
- Prove both positive invariants and reachable negative/counterexample cases.
- Add temporal and concurrent traces where stale evidence, revocation,
  rollback, race conditions, or distributed effects are central.
- Connect formal states to concrete runtime/event schemas through checked
  encoders, decoders, and refinement tests. A hand-authored matching record is
  not refinement evidence.
- Differentially test Python/other executable decisions against Lean-generated
  or independently encoded reference decisions across generated valid and
  invalid traces.
- Mutation-test assumptions, transition guards, serialized fields, and
  consumer gates. A theorem that survives because the mutated field is unused
  is a model-adequacy warning, not a pass.
- Maintain theorem depth and adequacy reports, but do not set a theorem-count or
  direct/projection percentage as the scientific target.
- Audit every live `*Refinement` module as a unit. It must have a named
  composition, reachability, preservation, noninterference, liveness, or
  countermodel obligation that is not merely a conjunction of fixture answers;
  an independently implemented consumer must exercise that obligation and
  reject relevant semantic mutations. If no such role is warranted, fold the
  module into its canonical owner or retire it with lineage. Tactic name and
  top-level theorem count are diagnostic metadata, never the adequacy verdict.
- Apply that module-level gate explicitly to
  `DataEngineLifecycleRefinement`, `OpenEndedImprovementRefinement`, and
  `PolicyOptimizationRefinement`; preserve their current reachable lifecycle
  and consumer evidence, but add a derived cross-stage property or record an
  exact consolidation/retirement decision. Do not add ornamental theorems to
  satisfy the review.

### P2 execution receipt at 2026-07-15

The activation-baseline proof inventory is now frozen before proof-surface
changes. `proofs/proof_rationalization_registry.json` preserves all 1,151
theorem declarations and 298 targets with exact source digests, syntax-depth
classification, chapter/core-atom ownership, candidate target links, theorem
dependencies and consumers, current-presence checks, review state, disposition,
assumption, exclusion, countermodel, mutation, consumer, replacement, and
lineage fields. `proofs/proof_rationalization_reviews.json` is the semantic
overlay; `docs/proof_rationalization_registry.md` and 54 generated dossiers
under `evidence_quality/proof_model_dossiers/` expose the work queue. The
validator rejects baseline deletion, owner laundering, unbounded retention,
replacement without lineage, stale projections, and support promotion.

The first priority-module audit, `AsiStackProofs.Alignment`, reviewed all 23
declarations and three targets. It retired the two direct
assumption-restatement declarations from the active evidence surface and routed
their overbroad admitted-plan and universal self-modification targets to
explicit plan-trace and protected-transition replacements. It retained twenty
bounded transition/lifecycle negative cases and one positive finite witness,
and retained the lifecycle target only at its exact deterministic record-route
scope. Missing field/guard mutation, reachable-state generation, checked
encoder/decoder refinement, normative validity, real enforcement, empirical
outcomes, reproduction, and transfer remain explicit P2 work. The registry now
has 1,128 theorem and 295 target machine candidates; no source declaration or
target has yet been physically retired or replaced, and the support-state effect
remains `none`.

The second priority-module audit, `AsiStackProofs.Corrigibility`, reviewed all
18 declarations and two targets. It retired the two direct right-preservation
and correction-rejection assumption restatements, routed both overbroad targets
to protected-right and correction-path transition models, retained four generic
bounded agency-control negative cases, and marked twelve literal
`AgencyCorrectionRouteFor` fixture normalizations for migration to a generated
executable route/mutation suite rather than preserving theorem-per-fixture
bloat. The stronger models still owe affected-party and authority semantics,
material usability, reachable loss/degradation, acknowledgement, appeal,
interruption, rollback/shutdown, effect accounting, guard mutation, checked
runtime refinement, and empirical outcomes. The remaining queue is 1,110
theorem and 293 target machine candidates, with no support-state effect.

The third priority-module audit, `AsiStackProofs.GovernanceRights`, reviewed all
21 declarations and three targets. It retired two audit/exit and protected-right
assumption restatements, routed their targets to material audit/exit and
protected-right transition models, retained four bounded generic negative route
cases, and marked twelve literal governance-lifecycle fixtures for migration to
a generated executable mutation suite. The three sanitized Theseus import
declarations and their target remain as an exact finite refinement bridge
because they have a real validator, result artifact, seven invalid controls,
and explicit chapter-core and legal-rights overclaim rejections. They do not
establish rights or governance efficacy. The remaining queue is 1,089 theorem
and 290 target machine candidates; stronger contestability, authority, remedy,
runtime, legal/normative, empirical, reproduction, and transfer work remains.

The fourth priority-module audit, `AsiStackProofs.ValueConflict`, reviewed all
23 declarations and four targets. It retired the two residual-preservation and
review-non-bypass assumption restatements and routed their targets to versioned
residualized-decision and high-stakes-review transition models. Four generic
negative cases, fifteen priority-ordered lifecycle negatives, and one positive
witness remain only at their exact finite route semantics. The synthetic
contestability bridge and target remain as a bounded refinement because the
care-memory-export result, validator, and seven negative controls are real and
agree; they do not establish moral correctness, legal rights, reviewer quality,
usability, deployment, or chapter-core support. The remaining queue is 1,066
theorem and 286 target machine candidates, with no support-state effect.

The fifth priority-module audit, `AsiStackProofs.SelfImprovement`, reviewed all
22 declarations and three targets. It retired the two protected-invariant and
sole-self-evaluation assumption restatements and routed their targets to
versioned protected-invariant and evaluator-independence transition models.
The authority, evaluator, canary, campaign-admission, and priority-route cases
remain only as bounded negative controls; the two complete canary/promotion
cases remain finite witnesses; and the transition-envelope target remains only
at exact record-route scope. Stronger models still owe pre/post and descendant
state, real evaluator independence, authority/security/resource deltas,
non-bypass, reachable invariant loss, observed effects, revocation,
effect-complete rollback, mutation, checked refinement, empirical outcomes,
reproduction, and transfer. The remaining queue is 1,044 theorem and 283 target
machine candidates, with no support-state effect.

The sixth audit, `AsiStackProofs.Authority`, reviewed all 29 declarations and
four targets. It retained the real finite order/grant consequences, bounded
decision and lifecycle cases, and validator-backed revocation trace at exact
scope, while retiring one unconsumed audit/non-claim projection. Deployed
identity, revocation propagation, concurrency, enforcement, and effects remain
open. The queue is now 1,015 theorem and 279 target machine candidates; 6/65
modules are fully reviewed and support-state effect remains `none`.

The seventh audit, `AsiStackProofs.Replacement`, reviewed all 37 declarations
and six targets. It retained the finite promotion and transaction/lifecycle
route consequences plus the trace-probe, identity-sequence, and intent-governed
bridge families because their validators, frozen results, and negative controls
exist. Every retained item is bounded away from regression/monitor adequacy,
real artifact effects, deployed replacement, production rollback, safety, and
transfer. Effect-complete rollback remains a stronger trace/refinement task,
not an inference from rollback metadata or synthetic restoration fields. The
queue is now 978 theorem and 273 target machine candidates; 7/65 modules are
fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The eighth audit, `AsiStackProofs.RuntimeAdapters`, reviewed all 49 declarations
and six targets. It retired four definition/assumption projections plus the
redundant generic adversarial-fixture projection, and routed the literal
all-true human-oversight summary, the broad operational invariant, and the
mixed failure-blocking target to explicit authority/effect transition and
result-refinement replacements. It retained permission, lease, approval,
rollback, dispatch, effect-replay, and revocation consequences only as bounded
finite semantics. The one generated temp-file replay remains executable but
tiny; the adversarial boundary family remains a deterministic independently
encoded checker with two admitted records and twelve rejecting controls. Neither
establishes deployed adapter safety, production sandbox or service behavior,
complete effect discovery, effect-complete rollback, safety, reproduction, or
transfer. The queue is now 929 theorem and 267 target machine candidates; 8/65
modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The ninth audit, `AsiStackProofs.SecurityKernel`, reviewed all 22 declarations
and four targets. It retired the direct authorized-boundary projection and
routed the broad substitution invariant to a handle-lifecycle and secret-
nonmaterialization trace/refinement model. The clearance-order theorem and
authority-use route remain only as finite record semantics. The commit family
is retained at the exact scope of a validator-owned public-safe probe that uses
generated secret-canary material and temporary files, admits two sanitized
commit/refusal records, and rejects six controls. It does not establish a
deployed kernel, vault, sandbox, secure deletion, prompt-injection containment,
side-channel safety, privacy, security, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is
now 907 theorem and 263 target machine candidates; 9/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The tenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.EvidenceStates`, reviewed all 31 declarations
and seven targets. Six actual finite policy consequences remain: missing
required evidence blocks the modeled promotion predicate, self/terminal
promotion is excluded, unsupported-to-argument is permitted by policy, and
terminal effects compose with terminal-state exclusion. Three direct predicate
projections, three generic summary projections, and the four literal claim-
state bridge declarations are retired or routed to result refinement. Fifteen
one-field normalizations of a hand-authored complete transition record are
routed to a generated lifecycle mutation suite and a versioned ledger
refinement model. The four external validators remain valuable at their exact
bundle, claim-ledger, accepted-transition, and nine-scenario claim-state audit
scopes, but do not prove evidence or claim truth, reviewer quality, chapter
promotion, live belief revision, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now
876 theorem and 256 target machine candidates; 10/65 modules are fully reviewed
with no support-state effect.

The eleventh audit, `AsiStackProofs.ClaimLedger`, reviewed all 20 declarations
and four targets. Four bounded consequences remain for prior evidence/history
preservation and open-contradiction blocking. The broad valid-record projection
and generic semantic-summary projection are retired. Fourteen one-field
normalizations of `completeClaimLedgerRevisionReview` are routed to generated
reachable revision traces, semantic/surface mutations, stable identity/history
invariants, and refinement against actual ledger records. The semantic-variant
and assumption-context fixture validator remains useful only at its finite
record-shape scope; it does not establish semantic equivalence, assumption
completeness, open-domain claim extraction, contradiction quality, deployed
belief revision, support promotion, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is
now 856 theorem and 252 target machine candidates; 11/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The twelfth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ProofCarryingClaims`, reviewed all eight
declarations and three targets. Four finite consequences remain: a passed
verifier record needs an artifact reference, the missing-reference case is
rejected, and declared negative verifier results require non-promotional effects
and reject `scopedUpdate`. The simple formal-tier and failed-verifier theorems,
the broad valid-record projection, and the generic dossier-summary projection
are retired. The two broad support targets are routed to artifact-verification,
interpretation/scope, verifier-execution, trusted-base, and versioned claim-
transition refinement. The deterministic dossier validator remains only at its
accepted/rejected record scope; it does not establish verifier soundness,
semantic correctness, reviewer independence, claim truth, deployed evidence-
engine behavior, support promotion, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is
now 848 theorem and 249 target machine candidates; 12/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The thirteenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.SafetyCases`, reviewed all eight
declarations and eight one-to-one targets. All remain as bounded executable
refinement routes because `validate_safety_case_assurance.py` independently
recomputes the eight priority outcomes, verifies exact theorem ownership, and
rejects five mutations to fixture coverage, digests, support effect, theorem
lineage, and non-claims. The positive case reaches only readiness review; the
seven controls route missing context/hazard/countercase/independent review,
stale evidence, an unresolved defeater, and authority laundering away from that
boundary. None validates a safety case, hazard model, evidence edge, control,
reviewer independence, safety, readiness, release, deployment, reproduction, or
transfer. The queue is now 840 theorem and 241 target machine candidates; 13/65
modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The later Safety Case refinement closes the audit's missing reachable-semantics
bridge without pretending to validate a real case. `AsiStackProofs.SafetyCaseRefinement`
binds exact case/version, context, claim, hazard, evidence, countercase,
reviewer, authority, and residual identity across six stages. Its independent
consumer preserves the original eight fixtures, reaches all 30 routes, rejects
35/35 mutations, emits one readiness handoff, and then exercises a cause-,
affected-path-, and descendant-complete invalidation back to challenge. It
records zero support assignments and zero external effects. Hazard completeness,
argument truth, evidence adequacy, reviewer independence, control efficacy,
safety, readiness, deployed invalidation, reproduction, and transfer remain
open campaign work.

The fourteenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.IntentToExecution`, reviewed all 12
declarations and four targets. Nine general branch theorems over arbitrary
dispatch reviews remain as finite priority-route semantics for contract,
objective, authority, hidden override, approval, artifact, verification,
residual, and ready cases. The parent-constraint and approval-blocking
assumption restatements plus the generic handoff-summary projection are retired.
The broad preservation and running-state targets are routed to a versioned,
field-by-field vertical refinement from accepted intent through command, plan,
typed job, authority envelope, dispatch receipt, artifacts, and feedback. The
two-valid/seven-invalid handoff validator remains only at synthetic trace scope;
it does not establish parser correctness, deployed dispatch, approval/runtime
services, artifact satisfaction, support promotion, reproduction, or transfer.
The queue is now 828 theorem and 237 target machine candidates; 14/65 modules
are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The fifteenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.IntentContracts`, reviewed all 25
declarations and four targets. Twenty general finite branches remain across the
intent-resolution and intent-admission policies, covering missing/prohibited or
ambiguous requests, conflicts, high-impact authority/reversibility gaps, hidden
overrides, preservation failures, re-contract triggers, non-claim boundaries,
and complete admission. The two preservation/authority assumption restatements
and three literal intake-summary theorems are retired or replaced. Their broad
targets now point to versioned field-provenance and refinement from raw request
through clarified intent, commands, downstream artifacts, authority, stop
conditions, and observed effects. The four-valid/six-invalid intake validator
remains only at synthetic corpus scope; it does not establish natural-language
understanding, deployed parsing/authority extraction, prompt-injection
containment, runtime dispatch, approval behavior, user satisfaction,
reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 803 theorem and 233 target machine
candidates; 15/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The sixteenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.Planning`, reviewed all 29 declarations and
five targets. Twenty-seven consequences remain: two finite authority/constraint
facts, six structured `PlanControlRecordValid` lemmas with real consumers, one
dispatch composition, fourteen general graph-admission branches, and four
runtime-replan branches. The generic scheduler and replan summary projections
are retired; their independent validators remain at deterministic valid/repair
and delta-audit trace scope. All retained items explicitly exclude graph and
certificate truth, decomposition/planner quality, context and verification
adequacy, authority provenance, deployed scheduler/replanner enforcement,
runtime effects, safety, reproduction, and transfer. The queue is now 774
theorem and 228 target machine candidates; 16/65 modules are fully reviewed
with no support-state effect.

The seventeenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.TypedJobs`, reviewed all 27 declarations
and five targets. One exact approval exclusion, twelve general execution-route
branches, and eleven durable-lifecycle branches remain at bounded finite scope.
The valid-record projection and the two generic delivery/durable summary
projections are retired. The broad lifecycle invariant now routes to reachable,
versioned traces with retry, lease, cancellation, closure, and actual-record
refinement. The independent two-valid/seven-invalid delivery checker and two-
valid/nine-invalid durable checker remain only at deterministic synthetic scope;
they do not establish a deployed scheduler or durable engine, true idempotence,
authority or permission enforcement, approval-service behavior, receipt or
replay correctness, support promotion, safety, reproduction, or transfer. The
queue is now 747 theorem and 223 target machine candidates; 17/65 modules are
fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The eighteenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ArtifactGraph`, reviewed all 43
declarations and ten targets. Thirty-five finite consequences remain across
missing-reference and promotion exclusions, replay-grade ordering, nineteen
artifact-admission branches, nine replay-packet branches, and three record-
reality sequence branches. The produced-artifact projection is retired, and the
seven theorems that only prove hand-authored sequence, receipt, repository,
attestation, randomized-audit, or epistemic-TCB constants are replaced with
generated result-conformance models. Eight independent validators remain at
their exact two-valid/six-invalid replay, stale/partial/fresh sequence,
adversarial receipt, selected repository audit, deterministic local challenge,
one-artifact live attestation, seeded four-artifact local audit, and bounded TCB
fixture scopes. They do not establish causal provenance, open-world receipt or
replay faithfulness, external independence, deployed graph/attestation services,
verifier correctness, repository completeness, support promotion, reproduction,
or transfer. The queue is now 704 theorem and 213 target machine candidates;
18/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The nineteenth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ProceduralMemory`, reviewed all 19
declarations and two targets. Two finite closure/promotion contradictions and
twelve general lifecycle branches remain for missing trace clusters, negative
examples, closure artifacts, verification, regression, benchmark floors, active
SCFs, retirement triggers, monitoring, residuals, non-claims, and verified source
states. The two assumption projections are retired, and three literal valid-
fixture normalizations are replaced with generated corpus/result conformance.
The three-valid/six-invalid procedural-loop harness remains only at synthetic
record scope; it does not establish loop detection, trace comparability,
abstraction or parameter correctness, tool synthesis, verifier/benchmark
adequacy, deployed routing or retirement, reproduction, or transfer. The queue
is now 685 theorem and 211 target machine candidates; 19/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The twentieth audit, `AsiStackProofs.Routing`, reviewed all 16 declarations and
three targets. The finite authority/readiness contradiction and the genuine
fallback-or-residual non-promotion consequence remain. The direct admissibility
projection is retired, and thirteen route theorems that only normalize one
hand-authored complete record are replaced with general quantified branches,
generated route-order mutations, reachable fallback state, and versioned
selection/refinement work. The three-valid/seven-invalid routing-decision lease
harness remains only at synthetic registry/record scope; it does not establish
learned routing, ambiguous natural-task behavior, candidate completeness,
readiness truth, route-quality dominance, deployed lease/authority enforcement,
model-scale transfer, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 669 theorem
and 208 target machine candidates; 20/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The twenty-first audit, `AsiStackProofs.CommandContracts`, reviewed all seven
declarations and three targets. The missing-required-field and accepted-hidden-
override contradictions plus three general field-confidence branches remain at
finite scope. The complete-conjunction and explicit-precedence assumption
projections are retired. Broad command completeness and override exclusion now
route to versioned field provenance, cross-artifact semantic refinement, and
reachable parser/compiler/dispatcher states tied to observed effects. These
finite records do not establish parser correctness, confidence calibration,
prompt-injection resistance, semantic preservation, authority legitimacy,
deployed dispatch or runtime enforcement, reproduction, or transfer. The queue
is now 662 theorem and 205 target machine candidates; 21/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The twenty-second audit, `AsiStackProofs.CognitiveCompilation`, reviewed all
14 declarations and three targets. Twelve general semantic-lowering branches
remain at finite route scope. Two assumption projections are retired, while
the broad obligation-preservation and repair claims now route to typed source/
target semantics, obligation identities and coverage, localized repair deltas,
reachable ledger states, generated result conformance, and checked artifact
refinement. The two-valid/four-invalid trace harness remains only at exact
hand-authored scope; it does not establish source-plan parsing, semantic
equivalence, IR or obligation completeness, validator correctness, compiled
execution, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 648 theorem and 202
target machine candidates; 22/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-
state effect.

The twenty-third audit, `AsiStackProofs.VirtualContextABI`, reviewed all 13
declarations and three targets. Eleven general context-admission branches remain
at finite route scope. Two assumption projections are retired, while broad
resolver and mandatory-fault claims now route to versioned address/snapshot
resolution, binding and freshness checks, reachable materialization/fault
states, generated result conformance, and checked resolver refinement. The
three-valid/five-invalid adequacy harness remains only at exact synthetic record
scope; it does not establish deployed resolution, address/version/snapshot
truth, certificate or taint correctness, adequacy truth, materialized bytes or
semantics, memory-store behavior, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now
635 theorem and 199 target machine candidates; 23/65 modules are fully reviewed
with no support-state effect.

The twenty-fourth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ContextCertificates`, reviewed all 18
declarations and three targets. One genuine finite contradiction between
source-bounded authority and an escalating summary remains, together with 15
general certificate-lifecycle priority branches. Two direct projections are
retired. The broad derived-cell and authority-preservation claims now route to
checked provenance, derivation/loss/omission semantics, permitted-use policy,
freshness/revocation/taint state, verifier execution, deletion closure, and
reachable consumer-admission refinement. No exact executable checker currently
covers the full lifecycle route, so it is retained as finite semantics rather
than mislabeled as an executable bridge. The queue is now 617 theorem and 196
target machine candidates; 24/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-
state effect.

The twenty-fifth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ContextTransactions`, reviewed all 23
declarations and four targets. Three finite taint/deletion consequences and 11
general transaction-route branches remain. Two direct assumption projections
and two accepted-summary field projections are retired. Two hand-copied Lean
summary constants and the broad snapshot-read claim are replaced with generated
digest-bound result conformance, append/commit/snapshot/branch/mount transition
semantics, executable-store behavior, and checked runtime refinement. The
independent three-valid/six-invalid memory-store and two-valid/four-invalid
sequence harnesses remain only at exact fixture scope; they do not establish a
deployed store, concurrency or isolation, branch/mount enforcement outside the
fixtures, replay determinism, deletion erasure, side-channel safety,
reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 594 theorem and 192 target machine
candidates; 25/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The twenty-sixth audit, `AsiStackProofs.VerificationBandwidth`, reviewed all 14
declarations and four targets. The constructive admission-versus-adequacy
witness and ten general verification-adequacy routes remain at finite scope.
One assumption projection is retired, while two summary-projection bridges are
replaced with generated digest-bound result conformance. The independent
contradiction/drafting-only probe and capacity evaluator remain only at their
exact deterministic synthetic scope; they do not establish open-domain
contradiction detection, context-adequacy classification, model verification
bandwidth, evaluator independence outside the code paths, claim truth, support
movement, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 580 theorem and 188
target machine candidates; 26/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-
state effect.

The twenty-seventh audit, `AsiStackProofs.PlanForge`, reviewed all four
declarations and two targets. The member-edge order lemma, self-edge
contradiction, and failed-quality escalation-or-residual consequence remain at
finite scope. The direct `Dispatchable` conjunction projection is retired, and
the misleading index-acyclic target now routes to graph-theoretic reachability
or topological-order semantics, dependency identity, generated cyclic
mutations, schedule/runtime behavior, and checked executable refinement. Strict
index precedence and a Boolean certificate do not establish arbitrary DAG
acyclicity, dependency truth, scheduling quality, deployed no-promotion,
reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 576 theorem and 186 target machine
candidates; 27/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The twenty-eighth audit, `AsiStackProofs.InterStackProtocols`, reviewed all
nine declarations and nine targets. All nine general finite exchange-route
branches remain because the independent validator recomputes the frozen
nine-case contract across invalid credentials, missing budget, complete local-
dispatch handoff, missing sender identity, audience mismatch, expiry,
revocation, disputed receipt, and missing residual ownership. The result stops
at local dispatch and does not establish identity or credential trust,
authorization correctness, network execution, payment or settlement, dispute
quality, economic fairness, security, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is
now 567 theorem and 177 target machine candidates; 28/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The twenty-ninth audit, `AsiStackProofs.StackBoundaries`, reviewed all 21
declarations and three targets. Three genuine general consequences remain: a
layer without external authority needs an authorized handoff, a valid finite
trace excludes a present unauthorized external-action step, and a handoff rank
above the caller ceiling is rejected. Eighteen theorems that only normalize
one-field edits of a hand-authored complete layer-contract record are replaced,
together with their lifecycle target, by general quantified route branches,
generated priority and mutation coverage, checked producers/consumers, and
digest-bound result refinement. The existing stack-layer traceability audit
remains only repository source/mapping/no-promotion evidence; it does not prove
runtime stack separation, authority legitimacy, hidden-effect exclusion,
safety, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 546 theorem and 174 target
machine candidates; 29/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state
effect.

The thirtieth audit, `AsiStackProofs.Efficiency`, reviewed all 26 declarations
and four targets. Two genuine finite contradiction consequences remain: a
listed lower-cost authorized quality-satisfying candidate refutes minimum
viability for that declared candidate list, and declared open obligations plus
promotion without a residual record refute the bounded promotion-validity
predicate. Two direct predicate or assumption restatements are retired.
Nineteen one-field normalizations of a hand-authored complete claim-admission
record and three proofs over a copied route-search summary are replaced by
general quantified routes, generated guard and priority mutations, complete
observed-cost refinement, and digest-bound validator-result conformance. The
existing two-valid/six-invalid route-search probe remains only exact synthetic
evidence; it does not establish open-world route-search completeness,
cost-estimate accuracy, measured efficiency, model or compression quality,
support movement, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 520 theorem and
170 target machine candidates; 30/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The thirty-first audit, `AsiStackProofs.FailureModes`, reviewed all 23
declarations and four targets. It retains one finite invariant contradiction,
four general priority-ordered incident routes, fifteen general recurrence and
record-completeness routes, and the external taxonomy-contract validator at
its exact two-valid/seven-invalid synthetic scope. The proof that calls an
authority field a governance failure merely by injecting its assumed Boolean
value into that definition is retired, and the corresponding target now
requires observed authority request/effect traces, ceiling provenance,
reachable escalation, and checked runtime refinement. The canned positive
close-record witness is replaced by generated route/result conformance, while
the Lean detector-summary bridge is retired because it restates the exact
conjunction assumed at its input. The external validator remains useful for
taxonomy and record-shape conformance, but it does not establish failure
detection, prevention, mitigation effectiveness, evaluator independence,
deployed enforcement, safety, reproduction, transfer, or support movement.
The queue is now 497 theorem and 166 target machine candidates; 31/65 modules
are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The thirty-second audit, `AsiStackProofs.ScalableOversight`, reviewed all eight
declarations and seven targets. All eight are genuine general finite priority-
route consequences and remain at their exact record-policy scope. Seven use-
record cases are independently recomputed from a digest-bound frozen fixture
covering bounded admission, missing evidence views, undisclosed dependencies,
missing direct baseline, missing high-risk outcome audit, unjustified
abstention, and authority laundering; the validator rejects eight mutations.
The two declarations over the separate protocol-admission record remain
formal-only: the current validator checks that they exist but does not
independently recompute that route function. Neither the formal routes nor the
fixture establish reviewer independence, judge calibration, protocol efficacy,
useful throughput, alignment, safety, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is
now 489 theorem and 159 target machine candidates; 32/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The thirty-third audit, `AsiStackProofs.StableCapabilityFields`, reviewed all
25 declarations and four targets. Fourteen genuine consequences remain: the
authority-expansion contradiction, seven general lifecycle-review routes, the
retired-state exclusion, and five unsafe-default transition counterexamples.
Eight declarations that only unpack qualification, forward-step, identity,
readiness, notice, or receipt conjuncts already assumed by the allowed-
transition predicate are retired. Three proofs over a copied lifecycle-summary
constant are replaced by generated, digest-bound result conformance. The
existing three-valid/six-invalid field harness and two-valid/six-invalid
lifecycle trace validator remain exact synthetic record evidence only; they do
not establish capability identity truth, evaluator integrity, deployed route
enforcement, rollback execution, real regression preservation, safety,
reproduction, transfer, or support movement. The queue is now 464 theorem and
155 target machine candidates; 33/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The thirty-fourth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ModelWeightCustody`, reviewed all nine
declarations and eight targets. Every declaration is a genuine general finite
priority-route consequence. Seven lifecycle routes are independently
recomputed over a digest-bound eight-case fixture covering bounded observed
load, missing lineage, stale attestation, undisclosed verifier dependencies,
unobserved load, authority-laundered distribution, and acknowledged
irreversible distribution; the validator rejects nine mutations. The two
declarations over the earlier `WeightLoadRouteFor` record remain formal-only:
the validator checks their presence but does not recompute that separate route
function. Neither surface establishes real weight, key, credential, quote,
trusted-environment, load, or distribution behavior; attestation genuineness,
verifier independence, confidentiality, extraction resistance, security,
safety, reproduction, transfer, authority, and support movement remain
unproved. The queue is now 455 theorem and 147 target machine candidates;
34/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The thirty-fifth audit, `AsiStackProofs.SupplyChainIntegrity`, reviewed all
seven declarations and six targets. All seven remain as genuine general finite
admission-route consequences covering unresolved critical advisories,
unverified required signatures, complete custody-review handoff, missing
lineage, missing component inventory, missing revocation path, and missing
residual ownership. They remain formal-only because no exact executable checker
independently recomputes `SupplyChainAdmissionRouteFor`. The adjacent affected-
path harness contributes one quarantined three-project graph record and ten
rejecting mutations for downstream closure, response ownership, invalidation,
disposal, and no-promotion boundaries, but it validates a different record and
is not treated as route-function refinement. Signature or provenance
authenticity, inventory and advisory completeness, compromise detection,
supplier trust, revocation propagation, real quarantine, safety, reproduction,
transfer, and support movement remain unproved. The queue is now 448 theorem
and 141 target machine candidates; 35/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The thirty-sixth audit, `AsiStackProofs.OpenEndedImprovement`, reviewed all
seven declarations and seven targets. Every general campaign-admission route is
retained at exact finite scope and independently recomputed over a digest-bound
seven-case fixture covering governor-review handoff, evaluator separation,
budget repair, stop authority, failure-history preservation, residual
ownership, and authority laundering; the validator rejects ten mutations. The
positive route stops at governor review and neither admits nor promotes a
candidate. No generator, independent evaluator, task or search workload, model
update, novelty, usefulness, transfer, improvement, campaign execution, stop
effect, safety, authority, or support result is established. The queue is now
441 theorem and 134 target machine candidates; 36/65 modules are fully reviewed
with no support-state effect.

The thirty-seventh audit, `AsiStackProofs.Tribunal`, reviewed all thirteen
declarations and both targets. Three genuine finite contradictions remain for
missing high-risk probes or recorded independence, unsafe prior-review reuse,
and action verdicts lacking actions or constraints. Two headline theorems are
retired because they merely apply the exact policy implications assumed at
their inputs, and both public targets now require versioned verdict artifacts,
reachable acceptance transitions, checked consumers, appeal and override
paths, and executable ledger/effect refinement. Eight theorems that normalize
eight hand-authored lifecycle records are replaced by quantified route
branches, generated priority mutations, and digest-bound result refinement.
The existing three-valid/five-invalid tribunal-review harness and one bounded
five-project record with eleven method/independence mutations remain adjacent
synthetic evidence only; they do not establish reviewer independence,
adversarial-probe quality, verdict correctness, appeal effectiveness, runtime
enforcement, safety, reproduction, transfer, or support movement. The queue is
now 428 theorem and 132 target machine candidates; 37/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The thirty-eighth audit, `AsiStackProofs.MoECOTRuntime`, reviewed all four
declarations and both targets. Two genuine finite contradictions remain: a
runtime-core promotion record missing any readiness, regression, or replay
reference cannot satisfy the bounded promotion-evidence predicate, and an
unavailable-text-only claim paired with promotion above argument refutes the
bounded source-state predicate. Two direct applications of those same assumed
policy implications are retired. Both targets remain only at finite evidence-
reference and source-claim-state scope. The adjacent three-valid/seven-invalid
routing-decision lease harness rejects a MoECOT source-reported record that is
laundered into locally reproduced state, while the valid fixture explicitly
records missing replay and zero promotion. It provides no runtime replay,
readiness or regression evidence, routing or specialist quality, deployed
enforcement, reproduction, transfer, or support result. The queue is now 424
theorem and 130 target machine candidates; 38/65 modules are fully reviewed
with no support-state effect.

The thirty-ninth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ReadinessGates`, reviewed all twenty
declarations and three targets. Eleven genuine finite negative consequences
remain for failed promotion gates, quarantined ordinary or unbacked diagnostic
routing, incomplete stronger transitions, stale reuse, retired-state restart,
unsafe default readiness, missing supersession records, and missing retirement
receipts. Eight theorems that merely unpack gate, forward-step, core-record,
qualification, default, quarantine, supersession, or retirement predicates are
retired. The probe theorem is also retired because it restates the exact
summary conjunction assumed at its input; its target remains as an executable
bridge to a validator-owned eighteen-transition result with six valid paths and
twelve rejecting controls. The adjacent four-valid/five-invalid residual-gate
harness and one quarantined six-project record with nine mutations remain
bounded synthetic evidence. No deployed readiness engine, residual-ledger
storage, live quarantine routing, rollback or fallback execution, benchmark
quality, MoECOT replay, safety, reproduction, transfer, or support result is
established. The queue is now 404 theorem and 127 target machine candidates;
39/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The fortieth audit, `AsiStackProofs.PersonalComputeHives`, reviewed all twenty-
six declarations and six targets. It retains two genuine finite contradictions
for missing approval and incomplete federation boundaries, sixteen general
priority branches over the hive-work admission function, and three general
partition-authority routes. Four headline theorems are retired because they
merely apply scheduler, faster-node, approval, or federation policy
implications assumed at their inputs. The partition-authority bridge is also
replaced because it normalizes a literal all-`true` summary copied into Lean
rather than deriving facts from case records or result bytes. The broad
scheduler-admission target is replaced with independently computed eligibility,
optimization-order, dispatch, receipt, and effect refinement. The other five
targets remain only at bounded formal or synthetic-validator scope. The hive
admission harness still checks two valid and eight expected-invalid records;
the adjacent partition-authority fixture still contains three valid records and
six invalid controls, but its route labels are hand-constructed rather than an
independent recomputation of `PartitionedAuthorityRouteFor`. Neither harness
establishes a deployed scheduler, device registry, approval service, portal,
sandbox, federation network, revocation propagation, dropout recovery, energy
measurement, privacy, security, consensus, availability, useful work,
reproduction, transfer, or support movement. The queue is now 378 theorem and
121 target machine candidates; 40/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The forty-first audit, `AsiStackProofs.CompactGenerativeSystems`, reviewed all
twenty-four declarations and five targets. Only two declarations remain as
genuine finite contradictions: unresolved obligations paired with no residual
record refute the bounded residual-honesty predicate, and a lossy, unverified,
exact-marked record refutes the bounded exactness predicate. Their two direct
policy projections are retired. Twelve supposed admission-route theorems are
replaced because each normalizes one mutation of the same hand-authored
`completeCompactAdmissionReview`, not a quantified branch. Five GVR theorems
are replaced because they restate a hard-coded five-receipt assessment table,
including the 78-versus-368 byte inequality. Three residual fixture bridges are
replaced because they normalize literal all-`true` summaries. The admission-
route target is replaced accordingly. Four targets remain only at finite
contradiction or exact external-validator scope: the five-receipt GVR slice has
three rejected controls; residual conservation has three valid and five
invalid cases; the cross-artifact trace reads four inputs; and storage replay
computes a four-entry digest chain while rejecting five controls. These do not
establish general compression, semantic reconstruction, verifier independence,
search completeness, total-cost or utility advantage, live append-only storage,
tamper resistance, residual completeness, fallback execution, reproduction,
transfer, chapter-core promotion, or deployment. The queue is now 354 theorem
and 116 target machine candidates; 41/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The forty-second audit, `AsiStackProofs.GenerateVerifyRepair`, reviewed all four
declarations and both targets. It retires two theorems that directly apply the
exact reconstruction and failed-verification implications assumed at their
inputs. It retains two genuine finite contradictions: unequal natural-number
generator-plus-residual and target fields refute the bounded exact-claim
predicate, and failed verification paired with exactness promotion refutes the
bounded promotion predicate. Both targets remain only at those arithmetic and
Boolean record scopes. Neither theorem proves artifact decoding, semantic
equivalence, verifier execution, correctness or independence, repair search,
ledger enforcement, useful compression, reproduction, or transfer. The queue
is now 350 theorem and 114 target machine candidates; 42/65 modules are fully
reviewed with no support-state effect.

The forty-third audit, `AsiStackProofs.SemanticRepresentation`, reviewed all
four declarations and both targets. It retires two theorems that simply apply
the grounding/provenance and hierarchy-update implications assumed at their
inputs. It retains two finite contradictions: a node declared grounded with a
zero provenance-link count refutes the bounded grounding predicate, and an
applied update with neither preserved references nor a supersession record
refutes the bounded hierarchy predicate. Both targets remain only at those
count and Boolean record scopes. A positive link count does not establish
grounding, provenance identity or quality, semantic adequacy, interoperability,
task utility, graph consistency, versioned migration, consumer preservation,
reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 346 theorem and 112 target machine
candidates; 43/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The forty-fourth audit, `AsiStackProofs.FastGeneration`, reviewed all thirty-
eight declarations and five targets. It retains only three genuine finite
contradictions: promotion accounting missing accepted-output or verifier-cost
fields, failed acceptance missing fallback/residual/promotion blocking, and
high-risk fast selection missing verifier/override/slow-fallback fields. Five
headline theorems are retired because they directly apply the route, raw-speed,
accounting, failed-acceptance, or high-risk implications assumed at their
inputs. Nineteen admission theorems and their target are replaced because they
normalize mutations of one hand-authored complete record. Seven Project
Theseus import theorems and four task-bundle theorems are replaced because they
derive from copied summary constants rather than result bytes. The broad mode-
selection target is also replaced. Three targets remain only as external
validator bridges: two valid and four invalid static mode fixtures reject
latency-only and other incomplete records; one digest-bound public Theseus
summary plus six invalid mutations records zero promotable comparisons and zero
useful solutions; and a deterministic four-task bundle records baseline and
candidate 4/4, candidate cost 264 versus baseline 632, and a cheaper 176-cost
latency-only route at 0/4 and rejected. None establishes model generation,
natural-workload breadth, wall-clock speed, accepted-token measurement,
verifier independence, strong matched baselines, hardware or total cost,
fallback execution, useful-throughput generalization, deployment,
reproduction, transfer, or chapter-core promotion. The queue is now 308 theorem
and 107 target machine candidates; 44/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The forty-fifth audit, `AsiStackProofs.Deliberation`, reviewed all ten
declarations and ten targets. All remain because they are general finite route
consequences and `scripts/validate_deliberation_admission.py` independently
implements the same priority policy over a digest-bound ten-case fixture,
recomputes every route, preserves all fifteen known extra-compute harms, and
rejects eleven mutations. The retained branches cover missing independent
review for a high-risk execution handoff, exhausted-budget stop/escrow,
complete release to planning, missing budget/search/verifier-scope/candidate-
history/stop/residual-owner records, and trace-authority separation. This is
deterministic admission-policy refinement only: records are assumed truthful;
review, stop, escrow, planning, and authority effects are not executed; and
verifier independence, candidate generation, language-model reasoning,
evaluator quality, useful gain, safety, reproduction, and transfer are not
established. The adjacent three-seed synthetic routing/deliberation study still
reports adaptive 179/180 in 236 operations, fixed 154/180 in 540 operations
with fifteen harms, and no-deliberation 130/180, but retains a no-change
disposition because its candidates and verifier are deterministic rather than
real-model and independently evaluated reasoning. The queue is now 298 theorem
and 97 target machine candidates; 45/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The forty-sixth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ArtifactCompression`, reviewed all
nineteen declarations and three targets. It retains two genuine finite
contradictions: declared compressed use with a failed task probe and no
fallback refutes the bounded use predicate, and a promotion candidate missing
residual or fallback metadata refutes the bounded promotion predicate. The two
direct policy projections are retired. Fifteen admission theorems and their
target are replaced because they normalize mutations of one hand-authored
`completeCompressionAdmissionReview` rather than proving quantified branches.
The separate RankFold public-safe replay and artifact-import records remain
adjacent evidence only: they inspect or replay specific archive bytes and do
not recompute `CompressionAdmissionRouteFor`. The retained contradictions do
not establish artifact identity or integrity, decoder correctness or
determinism, task-probe validity, fallback availability/reachability/execution,
metadata identity/content/completeness, downstream utility, compression
advantage, benchmark performance, reproduction, transfer, deployment, or
support movement. The queue is now 279 theorem and 94 target machine
candidates; 46/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The forty-seventh audit, `AsiStackProofs.ResourceEconomics`, reviewed all
forty-five declarations and nine targets. Six genuine finite contradictions
remain: required-safety deletion, insufficient-budget dispatch, a
throughput-to-quality overclaim, low-risk review admitted while protected
review is blocked, high-risk work admitted without protected review overhead,
and blocked protected review without displaced-cost residualization. Five
four-route selector theorems and three three-event workflow computations remain
as validator-aligned executable bridges. Three assumed-policy projections are
retired. Twenty-eight equalities, arithmetic facts, and validity witnesses over
copied workflow, capacity, load-smoothing, flagship, CI, and governance-tax
summaries are replaced with generated result conformance. The external
validators remain authoritative only for their exact records: the four-route
14.2-versus-43.0 modeled-cost selector and two rejected controls; the one-valid,
five-invalid three-step workflow; the three-valid, six-invalid capacity
harness; the ten-task load fixture whose selected route removes five modeled
overrun units by residualizing seven deferral ticks while rejecting three
protected-review violations; the ten-command/twenty-six-artifact repository
replay; eight captured Pages runs with three classified failures and a
131-second later-success boundary; and the three-valid/five-invalid
governance-tax scenarios. None establishes real prices, production queues,
live scheduling, reviewer behavior, serving/KV behavior, physical feasibility,
economic optimality, model quality, safety, reproduction, or transfer.

The forty-eighth audit, `AsiStackProofs.SimulationFidelity`, reviewed all
thirteen declarations and four targets. Two direct applications of assumed
scope/fidelity and promotion implications are retired and both headline
targets are routed to calibrated, reachable effect models. Nine general finite
contradictions remain at Boolean/ordinal record scope. Two hard-coded import
validity witnesses are replaced with generated result conformance. The two
validator-owned import targets remain only at exact sanitized metadata scope:
the Project Theseus receipt suite covers five fixture scenarios, six world-
adapter receipts, and seven rejected controls; the RLDS/Minari export import
records one `READY` export, three declared formats, seven declared fields, and
seven rejected controls. They do not establish raw-payload truth, dataset
correctness or quality, replay success, simulator adequacy, physical
feasibility, native parity, deployment, model quality, privacy erasure, safety,
reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 221 theorem and 81 target machine
candidates; 48/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The forty-ninth audit, `AsiStackProofs.SearchSubstrates`, reviewed all eleven
declarations and three targets. Four general finite contradictions remain for
missing adoption fields, unproven qualification, consumer-axis laundering,
and incomplete canary evidence. Three assumed-policy projections and two
summary-field projections are retired, one equivalent qualified-state negative
is merged, and the literal summary-validity witness is replaced with generated
result conformance. The operational and failure-blocks-promotion targets are
replaced because their positive statements assume the desired implications.
The validator-owned adoption-trace target remains only at its exact scope:
four synthetic valid states and eight rejected controls covering missing
baselines/falsification, theorem spillover, unmeasured-axis routing, failed-
control promotion, missing fallback, support overclaim, and missing non-claims.
It does not run a substrate A/B test or establish representation, search,
routing, compression, model, runtime, deployment, reproduction, or transfer
quality.

The fiftieth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ProofCarryingContracts`, reviewed all ten
declarations and three targets. Seven bounded semantic/negative theorems remain:
missing receipt boundaries, readiness-only promotion blocking, promotion
without contract readiness, stale or unsupported consumer acceptance, passing
replay without artifacts, public-consumer promotion overclaim, and missing
declared mutation-control rejection. Two direct projections are retired and
the literal public-consumer fixture witness is replaced. The receipt-boundary
and consumer-gate targets remain only at Boolean record scope. The public
consumer-gate target is replaced because its one-receipt/four-control/seven-
theorem summary has no executable consumer-gate validator. The adjacent Circle
archive validator checks different evidence—nine archived contracts, four
accepted policy receipts, and five mutation controls—and remains useful as
digest/public-safety conformance, not as refinement of that Lean fixture, a
Circle Lean replay, deployed transport, theorem correctness, model quality,
safety, reproduction, or transfer proof. The queue is now 200 theorem and 75
target machine candidates; 50/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The fifty-first audit, `AsiStackProofs.CoilAttentionMemory`, reviewed all six
declarations and two targets. Two direct applications of assumed alias and
retrieval-promotion policies are retired. Four genuine finite contradictions
remain for reused cyclic slots with missing residue/winding and hidden alias
residual, structure-only retrieval-quality promotion, recurrence without
budget/exit/fallback records, and stale reads admitted as fresh without
residual escrow. Both targets remain only at Boolean record scope. No theorem
executes a memory system, detects aliasing or staleness, measures retrieval
quality, runs recurrence, exercises fallback or residual effects, or
establishes safety, reproduction, or transfer.

The fifty-second audit, `AsiStackProofs.CyclicMixers`, reviewed all seven
declarations and two targets. Two direct policy projections are retired. Five
finite contradictions remain for missing claim partitions, promotion without
baselines/tradeoffs, cyclic aliasing without winding or visible residual,
incomplete adoption packets, and hardware mismatch without a refusal path.
Both targets remain only at declared-record scope. The adjacent Circle
cyclic-mixer receipt validator remains separate structural/accounting evidence:
one period-eight dense-parity fixture records `max_abs_dense_delta=0`, a
block-to-dense parameter ratio of `0.0625`, seven theorem IDs, six recorded
command outputs, and a no-change decision. It does not refine these Boolean
policy predicates or prove model quality, runtime, memory scaling, hardware
efficiency, training stability, benchmark superiority, deployed refusal,
safety, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 187 theorem and 71 target
machine candidates; 52/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state
effect.

The fifty-third audit, `AsiStackProofs.ProofEnvelope`, reviewed all seven
declarations and two targets. Two direct policy projections are retired. Five
finite results remain: the derived consequence that a record satisfying the
non-operational routing predicate cannot be implemented, plus contradictions
for implemented targets missing a module/build, non-Lean artifacts claiming
Lean proof, support promotion missing transition/adequacy/boundary records,
and external-theorem references missing artifacts/IDs/non-claims. The
implemented-target target remains only at Boolean record scope. The
non-operational planned-or-blocked target is replaced because its headline
route is assumed rather than reached. The adjacent proof-envelope ledger
validator consistently summarizes 298 manifest targets and their adequacy/
depth/audit reports, but it does not inspect filesystem/build effects for these
Lean records or prove theorem truth, semantic adequacy, promotion enforcement,
consumer effects, reproduction, or transfer.

The fifty-fourth audit, `AsiStackProofs.BenchmarkRatchets`, reviewed all eight
declarations and three targets. Two direct assumed-policy projections are
retired. Three finite decision-model consequences remain for accepted
promotion requirements, saturated regression-floor records, and contaminated
promotion contradiction. Three copied anti-Goodhart summary facts are replaced
with generated result conformance. Both headline benchmark/saturation targets
are replaced because they assume evidence, saturation, or blocked promotion
rather than executing those effects. The validator-owned fixture target
remains only at its exact two-valid/five-invalid scope, with one promotion-ready
record, one regression-floor record, and no support movement. It does not run
an empirical benchmark, establish hidden-holdout integrity, detect real
contamination, validate policy-training quality, execute a steward release,
measure model quality, or establish reproduction or transfer. The queue is now
172 theorem and 66 target machine candidates; 54/65 modules are fully reviewed
with no support-state effect.

The fifty-fifth audit, `AsiStackProofs.CapabilityThresholds`, reviewed all
eight declarations and eight targets. All remain because they are general
finite consequences of the declared threshold-commitment routing function, and
an independently implemented Python route recomputes the eight digest-bound
cases and rejects five fixture/result mutations. The retained cases cover
unverified or missing safeguards, missing evaluation envelope/baseline/
uncertainty, missing residual ownership, and complete crossed/non-crossing
handoffs to readiness review. This is deterministic record routing only:
capability-domain truth, threshold definition or crossing, evaluation validity,
safeguard efficacy, residual custody, actual blocking/exception/review/release
effects, readiness, safety, reproduction, transfer, and ASI remain unproved.

The fifty-sixth audit, `AsiStackProofs.AdversarialEvaluation`, reviewed all
eight declarations and eight targets. All remain because they are general
finite consequences of the declared integrity-routing function, and an
independent Python implementation recomputes the eight digest-bound cases and
rejects five fixture/result mutations. The retained routes cover complete
handoff to promotion review, missing selection/reward/monitor provenance,
missing independent evaluation or cross-context probe, unresolved-discrepancy
quarantine, and intent-inference laundering rejection. This does not establish
model/task identity, provenance truth, evaluator independence, probe adequacy,
discrepancy truth, hidden intent, actual repair/quarantine/review effects,
model quality, safety, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 156 theorem
and 50 target machine candidates; 56/65 modules are fully reviewed with no
support-state effect.

The fifty-seventh audit, `AsiStackProofs.PolicyOptimization`, reviewed all
nineteen declarations and four targets. Five direct applications of assumed
record/promotion policies are retired. Four genuine finite contradictions
remain for missing holdout/contamination evidence, reward-proxy-only promotion,
authority expansion without approval/rollback, and missing selection context
or independent evaluation. Seven general guard-priority routes remain at exact
record scope for inadmissible feedback, target evaluation, holdout/
contamination, reward-hacking probes, governance/authority, rollback, and
regression/residual gaps. Three copied lease-summary facts are replaced with
generated result conformance. The admitted-update and reward-boundary headline
targets are replaced; the route target and validator-owned lease target remain
narrow. That validator covers six synthetic samples, five candidate policies,
three rejected controls, a selected canary kept experimental, and a fixture
rollback to its baseline. It runs no PPO, DPO, GRPO, RLVR, optimizer, model,
real policy update, deployed canary, or live rollback and proves no policy,
reward, route, safety, reproduction, or transfer quality.

The fifty-eighth audit, `AsiStackProofs.DataEngines`, reviewed all fifteen
declarations and fifteen targets. All remain as general finite route
consequences with adjacent validator evidence. The admission validator
independently routes four declared records through block, quarantine,
experimental-only, and eligible outcomes with four rejecting controls; it
loads no dataset and verifies no semantic contamination or deletion. The full-
state bridge binds a preregistered synthetic campaign to 24 declared state
surfaces, 3 seeds, 5 arms, 15 transactions, and 15/15 exact local rollbacks,
while recording 6 best/final checkpoint disagreements, behavioral deletion
changes of 4/0/1, lineage propagation in all 3 deletion arms, no established
influence reduction, and zero storage erasures. The formal routes preserve
separation among behavioral change, influence reduction, privacy erasure, and
storage erasure. They do not establish dataset quality, model training,
language-model continual learning, remote/production state completeness,
causal influence removal, privacy/legal/storage/backup erasure, production
rollback, capability, safety, reproduction, or transfer. The queue is now 122
theorem and 31 target machine candidates; 58/65 modules are fully reviewed with
no support-state effect.

The fifty-ninth audit, `AsiStackProofs.ArtifactStewardAgents`, reviewed all
sixteen declarations and seven targets. Four direct applications of assumed
work-contract, protected-action, release-gate, and sunset policies are retired,
and their four headline targets are replaced with reachable effect models.
Twelve general finite guard-priority routes remain across steward lifecycle,
separated contribution ledgers, and scoped federation contracts; their three
targets remain at record-routing scope. The adjacent lifecycle probe checks two
valid routes and six invalid controls with all publication, spending, external-
dispatch, inherited-authority, and support effects disabled. It does not
establish a steward bot, treasury executor, taint workflow, contribution
service, governance runner, release runner, sunset protocol, funds movement,
federation execution, authority effect, reproduction, or transfer.

The sixtieth audit, `AsiStackProofs.GovernedRepositoryTrace`, reviewed all
nine declarations and its single target. All nine Lean declarations are
replaced because they compute over hand-authored fixture lists that are not
digest-bound to the executed repository-change trace. The target remains as
validator-owned executable evidence: the source slice executes nine scenarios
and eight named attacks, where the baseline records eight false accepts while
the governed route records zero false accepts, zero unsafe releases, and three
rollback attempts. The derived trace then checks three authority handoffs,
three timed effects with revocation winning ties, nine evidence events, causal
parent order, two created residuals, one discharge, one open residual, and four
rejecting invariant mutations. This is one local repository trace, not a
universal invariant or proof of production authorization, deployed revocation,
external independence, safety, reproduction beyond the tracked trace, or
transfer.

The sixty-first audit, `AsiStackProofs.ReferenceArchitecture`, reviewed all
seven declarations and two targets. Two direct assumed-policy projections are
retired. Five general finite routes remain for parentage repair, authority-
delta repair, residual preservation, missing-governance blocking, and required
validation. The end-to-end handoff target is replaced because it assumes the
required artifact rather than observing a trace; the failure-routing target
remains at exact record scope. No artifact/delta truth, repair/block/validation
execution, cross-layer runtime behavior, governance enforcement, safety,
reproduction, or transfer follows. The queue is now 90 theorem and 21 target
machine candidates; 61/65 modules are fully reviewed with no support-state
effect.

The sixty-second audit, `AsiStackProofs.TheseusReference`, reviewed all fifty-
four declarations and twelve targets. Two direct applications of assumed
artifact-surface and gate-before-promotion policies are retired. Nine general
finite contradictions, audit routes, boundary consequences, and one summary-
to-review refinement remain at exact model scope. Forty-three theorems that
only normalize hand-authored import summaries or mutations of those summaries
are replaced with generated digest-bound conformance rather than duplicating
the validator-owned evidence. The two broad report/gate headline targets are
replaced with reachable artifact-and-promotion traces. The other ten targets
remain only at the scopes recomputed by the report-bundle, public-task, fast-
support, artifact-retention, module-definition, project-registry, assistant-
trace, accelerator-manifest, book-crosswalk, and work-board validators. Those
validators currently cover a one-valid/seven-invalid report audit, 64 public
metadata-only tasks, four command replays over sixteen tracked artifacts and
68 task records, exact-hash replay of 41,943,527 payload bytes, 22 ready module
records, 5,662 registered paths and 24 lifecycle surfaces, nineteen trace
record types and 27 gates, seven accelerator surfaces, 53 public-safe pointer
rows, and 130/412/133 work-board task/event/evidence rows. The heterogeneous
counts remain separate import receipts, not one capability result. No clean
live Project Theseus replay, current runtime truth, model or benchmark quality,
accelerator parity, deployment, safety, alignment, AGI, ASI, reproduction,
transfer, chapter-core promotion, or SOTA result follows.

The sixty-third audit, `AsiStackProofs.PrototypeRoadmap`, reviewed all eleven
declarations and three targets. Two direct assumed-policy projections are
retired. Nine general finite phase-route, evidence-free-promotion,
research-only, evaluator-boundary, fixture-acceptance, and non-claim
consequences remain at exact model scope. The dependency-unlock headline target
is replaced with a reachable predecessor/successor trace. The evidence-free-
promotion target remains as a narrow counterexample, and the validator-owned
fixture target remains bounded to two valid and six expected-invalid synthetic
phase-gate cases with no support-state or phase-completion effect. No real phase
completion, artifact truth, evaluator independence, capability gain, deployed
controller, useful program outcome, safety, reproduction, or transfer follows.
The queue is now 25 theorem and 6 target machine candidates; 63/65 modules are
fully reviewed with no support-state effect.

The sixty-fourth audit, `AsiStackProofs.LivingBook`, reviewed all twenty-one
declarations and four targets. Two direct policy projections are retired, and
the literal blocked-reader fixture normalization is replaced with generated
digest-bound conformance. Eighteen general finite publication, structural-
update, release-readiness, derived-artifact, change-packet, reader-route, and
support-boundary consequences remain; the change-packet decomposition remains
as a reusable lemma because a retained negative case consumes it. The four
targets remain only at their exact generated-repository or validator scopes:
manifest/outline/claim synchronization, structural generated-file currency,
three valid and six invalid change packets, and the blocked current reader
candidate plus three additional valid routes and eleven invalid controls. No
source or claim truth, manuscript quality, accessibility conformance, reader or
audio approval, publication authorization, support movement, reproduction, or
transfer follows.

The sixty-fifth and final inventory audit, `AsiStackProofs.BibliographyPlan`,
reviewed all four declarations and two targets. Two direct source-ingestion and
chapter-assignment policy projections are retired. Their two finite
contradictions remain at record scope. The source-ingestion headline target is
replaced with passage-to-claim lineage because a source-note-presence predicate
does not establish support. The nonexistent-chapter assignment target remains
as a narrow manifest-integrity guard. Source-note and protocol validators pass
for 24 required backbone notes, 250 assigned notes, 287 total notes, 88
protocol fixtures, and eleven release records, but those counts establish
neither bibliographic accuracy, source interpretation, literature completeness,
chapter fit, claim support, research quality, reproduction, nor transfer.

The activation-baseline semantic-review queue is now closed: zero of 1,151
theorem declarations and zero of 298 targets remain machine candidates, all
65 modules are fully reviewed, all five safety-critical modules remain fully
reviewed, ten frozen projection theorems are now retired with lineage preserved,
ten overbroad targets are remapped to the shared safety lifecycle model, and
support-state effect remains `none`. At that inventory receipt P2/M3 remained in progress. Closing
the inventory does not satisfy
the completion gate: retained and replacement surfaces still require the
recorded countermodels, reachable traces, generated refinements, executable
consumers, consolidation/removal, and safety-critical/integration model-
adequacy work before P2 can close.

Safety-critical replacement receipt: `AsiStackProofs.SafetyCriticalLifecycle`
now supplies one event-sourced state machine shared by Alignment,
Corrigibility, Value Conflict, Governance Rights, and Self-Improvement. Its
transition function, rather than a leading theorem hypothesis, rejects protected
predicate removal, actual authority widening, premature effect commitment, and
premature support promotion. Lean proves successful-commit readiness,
successful-promotion readiness, per-step protected-state and authority
preservation, invariant preservation over arbitrary accepted finite traces, and
trace composition; five complete traces and six named counterexamples are
checked exactly. The digest-bound independent Python implementation replays
eight accepted and eight rejected corpus traces and generates 34
required-obligation deletion countermodels across the five domains. Ten
unconsumed assumption-restatement theorem declarations and their supporting
projection-only records are physically removed, while the ten stable target IDs
now point to the stronger shared model. Frozen lineage, exact old statements,
and retirement rationales remain in the proof rationalization registry. This is
finite model and cross-implementation evidence only: it does not establish
moral correctness, legal rights, affected-party completeness, evaluator
quality, attack completeness, runtime integration, deployed safety, or support
promotion. The 24 hand-authored Corrigibility/Governance lifecycle fixture
normalizations and their unconsumed route types are now physically retired
because their terminal replacement dispositions, shared transition model,
independent checker, and deletion countermodels already existed. The frozen
registry preserves every removed statement and now records 34 missing current
baseline theorems: the original ten projection restatements plus this 24-
theorem consolidation. The current Lean surface contains 1,138 declarations;
the activation baseline remains 1,151. The shared model now also has a dedicated
model-adequacy dossier and an independently encoded downstream fixture consumer.
That consumer replays five accepted and five rejected domain traces, commits
exactly five bounded fixture effects, denies five effects with residual records,
rejects eight consumer-level mutations, and produces zero support promotions.
Its result and readable receipt are digest-bound and machine-validated. This is
not a deployed effect service and does not establish moral correctness, legal
rights, evaluator quality, affected-party completeness, attack completeness, or
runtime safety. At that replacement receipt P2/M3 remained open for real-schema refinement, concurrent and
effectful semantics, and consumer traces for other retained proof families.

Cognitive Kernel ABI receipt: the authorized 55th chapter's post-activation
formal target is now implemented in
`AsiStackProofs.ReplaceableCognitiveSubstrates`. The partial transition system
keeps kernel family as routed data while the control plane owns proposal,
receipt-bound commit, migration, revocation, authority ceiling, checkpoint
identity, fallback, evaluator, assistance, lifecycle-cost, evidence,
residual-owner, and rollback fields. Lean proves accepted-step and arbitrary
accepted-trace authority/checkpoint preservation, proposal/effect separation,
revoked-actor rejection, incompatible-migration rejection, and one exact
nine-event Transformer-to-selective-state-space-to-KAN-to-fallback trace. The
independently encoded Python consumer checks sixteen cases (one accepted,
fifteen rejected), two committed effects, zero proposal effects, and twelve
rejecting event mutations. The model-adequacy dossier explicitly excludes real
kernel execution, full-state checkpoint translation, concurrency, effect-
complete rollback, evaluator independence, natural workloads, matched
baselines, reproduction, transfer, deployment, architectural RSI, AGI, and ASI.
The chapter core remains `argument`; support-state effect is exactly `none`.
At that ABI receipt P2/M3 remained open for real-schema refinement, concurrent/effectful semantics,
and additional consumer traces;
P5 retains the empirical heterogeneous-kernel tournament and frozen-core
ratchet.

Integrated reference trace receipt: the three stable headline targets for
`integrated-reference-architecture` now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.IntegratedReferenceTrace`, a partial fourteen-layer transition
system rather than two projection implications and a theorem-per-fixture
conjunction. Lean proves accepted-step artifact/state joins, authority-ceiling
preservation, accepted-trace authority non-widening, and trace composition; it
also checks one exact twelve-event terminal trace and rejecting parent fork,
authority widening, missing-gate, revocation-tie effect, unacknowledged-effect,
and residual-erasure cases. The source-anchored independently encoded consumer
replays eighteen cases: four accepted outcome paths and fourteen rejected
paths, thirty-five accepted events, three attempted effects, two final net
effects, one acknowledged final effect, three open residuals, four terminal or
quarantine receipts, one exact rollback, two quarantines, and fifteen rejecting
mutations. Eleven obsolete frozen theorem declarations are physically retired
with lineage preserved, bringing current missing-or-changed activation
declarations to 45 and changed activation targets to 13. Replacement work
raises the live surface to 1,166 declarations across 67 modules and 300 targets
after the later logical-time effect-ledger increment;
that increase is not evidence strength by itself. The adequacy dossier and
consumer initially excluded checked live-schema encoders/decoders. The next
executable adapter now consumes the complete tracked governed-result object,
validates it against `asi_stack.governed_repository_change_result.v0`,
losslessly round-trips the exact claimed projection for all nine source
scenarios, derives three approved completions, three pre-effect refusals, two
exact rollbacks, and one failed-rollback quarantine, and rejects twenty
mutations applied to concrete source fields. This closes one real-schema
executable-refinement placeholder, not the universal refinement problem: the
adapter is not Lean-verified and still excludes unprojected semantic payload
preservation, additional live schemas, concurrent/distributed semantics,
complete effect discovery, evaluator independence, deployment, reproduction,
transfer, safety, and chapter-core promotion. Support-state effect remains
exactly `none`. At that integrated-trace receipt P2/M3 therefore remained open for those refinement and
execution boundaries and for independent consumers of the other retained proof
families, not for the now-closed integrated-model or first governed-schema
placeholder.

The next formal increment adds a per-effect logical-time ledger inside
`IntegratedReferenceTrace`: effect identities, authority epochs, attempt,
observation, mutually exclusive acknowledgement/compensation/residualization,
revocation, and receipts are now explicit transitions. General lemmas require
an observed effect to have been attempted, make an accepted acknowledgement
close its exact effect, and reject an attempt linearized at the same time as an
already-applied revocation. One two-effect equal-time interleaving closes one
effect by acknowledgement and the other by residual custody. This advances the
concurrency semantics. The independently implemented consumer now checks
sixteen traces—four accepted and twelve rejected—plus twelve additional
semantic mutations. It treats effect identity as the idempotency key, accepts
an exact same-epoch retry as a no-op, rejects stale or revoked retries, and
exercises acknowledgement, compensation, and residual custody under partial
failure. This closes the finite linearizable consumer placeholder but not
distributed clocks, partitions, retry transports, scheduler behavior, deployed
adapters, or complete effect discovery. No support state changes.

Authority grant-to-effect receipt: the first two stable targets for
`system-boundaries-and-authority` now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.AuthorityEffectRefinement`. The reachable sequential model
binds grant ID, principal, operation, target, caller ceiling, authority epoch,
expiry, remaining uses, target-owner approval, dispatch, effect, independent
observation, revocation, and exact rollback. Lean proves the accepted issuance,
dispatch, and effect custody consequences; one six-event witness and seven
named countermodels exercise widening, confused-deputy substitution, expiry,
stale epoch, revocation, missing dispatch, and consumed one-shot reuse. The
independently implemented consumer binds six authority fixtures, one executed
local effect, two pre-effect denials, five revocation entries, and nine governed
repository scenarios by digest and rejects 38/38 semantic mutations. One
projection-only frozen Authority declaration is physically retired with
lineage preserved. The packet trusts numeric identities and receipt fields and
does not establish authentic identity, wise issuance, concurrent revocation,
complete observation, deployed authorization, production security,
reproduction, transfer, or chapter-core support. Support-state effect is
exactly `none`; at that authority receipt P2/M3 remained in progress for the retained proof
families and cross-layer refinement obligations.

Human Intent resolution receipt: the two headline contract targets and the
intake bridge now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.IntentResolutionRefinement`, while
twenty general resolution/admission branches remain in
`AsiStackProofs.IntentContracts` as bounded negative cases. The reachable model
preserves root intent, contract version, constraint and stop hashes, authority
ceiling, approved authority, ambiguity, material-delta, and re-contract state.
Its five-event witness reaches accepted version 2 after explicit re-contract.
The independent consumer binds 4 valid/6 invalid intake cases, all 6 intake
signals, 2 valid/7 invalid re-contract cases, and 13 plan fixtures, and rejects
30/30 semantic mutations. Five assumption-restating or literal-summary
declarations are physically retired with frozen lineage preserved. This packet
does not establish natural-language understanding, semantic completeness,
authentic authority extraction, prompt-injection containment, deployed
dispatch/effects, natural-workload usefulness, reproduction, transfer, or
chapter-core support. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Command semantic-interface receipt: all three stable command targets now
resolve to `AsiStackProofs.CommandSemanticRefinement`. Its reachable model
binds and preserves exact objective, constraint, output-contract, verification,
failure-behavior, and authority slots; distinguishes general dispatch confidence
from stricter authority confidence; and requires explicit precedence, ceiling,
approval, planning-validation, blocker, and dispatch-receipt custody. A
five-event witness reaches dispatch-ready, while eight named countermodels
exercise missing output, hidden provenance or override, inferred or widened
authority, constraint substitution, and missing validation/dispatch receipts.
The independently implemented consumer schema-validates all 13 command
fixtures, classifies five interface violations, two correct command-boundary
blocks, and six interface-admissible records, digest-binds the nine-trace
handoff and nine-scenario/89-event vertical results, and rejects 38/38 semantic
mutations. Interface admissibility is explicitly not whole-fixture acceptance:
five admissible records retain downstream approval, lineage, DAG, receipt, or
requirement-preservation failures. Two projection-only frozen declarations are
physically retired with lineage preserved; five finite negative/reusable
branches remain bounded. Hashes, labels, authority, and receipts are trusted;
natural-language semantics, calibrated extraction, prompt-injection resistance,
deployed dispatch, reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain
unproved. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Cognitive Compilation obligation-refinement receipt: all three stable
compilation targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.CognitiveCompilationRefinement`, while twelve general lowering
branches remain bounded in `AsiStackProofs.CognitiveCompilation`. The reachable
model carries exact plan, three-obligation, source-constraint, target,
authority, plan-version, repair-ledger-version, receipt, residual, and logical-
time state. Its seven-event witness binds, types, lowers, validates, detects a
material repair, applies a localized exact-obligation repair with a one-step
ledger increment, and accepts the exact target. Eight kernel countermodels
reject obligation substitution, authority widening, missing lowering receipt,
validator/preservation laundering, global repair, unversioned repair, target
substitution, and residual-bearing acceptance. The independent consumer
schema-validates the semantic atoms, accepts exactly two fixtures, rejects all
four known-invalid fixtures, digest-binds the prior receipt, and rejects 47/47
mutations. Two projection-only declarations are physically retired with frozen
lineage. Numeric identities, scope, validator, authority, receipt, and ledger
fields remain trusted; natural-language semantics, obligation completeness,
backend execution, actual artifact evaluation, measured locality, reproduction,
transfer, and chapter-core support remain unproved. Support-state effect is
exactly `none`.

Virtual Context ABI reachable-refinement receipt: all three stable ABI targets
now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.VirtualContextRefinement`, while eleven general
admission/adequacy routes remain bounded in `AsiStackProofs.VirtualContextABI`
and the three certificate targets remain separately owned. The reachable model
carries exact request, address, version, snapshot, mount, source, derived,
authority, lease, receipt, mandatory, emission, stage, and logical-time state.
Its four-event witness binds, resolves an exact live and permitted hit,
certifies a source-bound derived representation without widening authority or
claiming exact completeness, and materializes with receipt custody. Its two-
event mandatory-miss witness emits a typed-fault receipt without a
materialization receipt or emission. Twelve kernel countermodels reject
binding substitutions, expired lease, certificate source or authority faults,
completeness overclaim, undeclared omission, taint, missing fault custody, and
missing certificate custody. The independently implemented consumer rechecks
all eleven prior resolver scenarios at exactly two valid and nine invalid,
keeps the separate admission suite at exactly three valid and five invalid,
executes both witnesses, and rejects 55/55 semantic mutations. Two projection-
only declarations are physically retired with frozen lineage. Numeric
identities, permissions, lease, hashes, declarations, taint flags, and receipts
remain trusted; natural-language address truth, payload meaning, certificate
truthfulness, deployed resolver/store behavior, concurrency, deletion,
reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain unproved. Support-
state effect is exactly `none`.

Context Certificate provenance/lifecycle-refinement receipt: all three stable
certificate targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.ContextCertificateRefinement`, while fifteen general lifecycle
routes and one derived authority-escalation contradiction remain bounded in
`AsiStackProofs.ContextCertificates`. The reachable model carries exact
certificate, source, derived, loss-contract, omission-ledger, permitted-use,
authority, lifecycle-epoch, receipt, deletion-closure, evidence-transition,
revocation, taint, admission, stage, and logical-time state. Its five-event
witness binds a source, derives without represented authority escalation,
certifies loss/omission/use contracts, verifies the exact current certificate
with deletion closure, and admits its exact use. Thirteen kernel countermodels
reject provenance substitution, authority widening, missing declarations or
receipts, stale epoch, deletion gap, scope escape, support laundering, taint,
and revocation. The independently implemented consumer validates the canonical
certificate and all twelve certificate records across eight scenarios against
the public schema, keeps that shape result separate from the three-valid/five-
invalid whole-scenario admission judgment, executes the witness, and rejects
64/64 semantic mutations. Two direct projections are physically retired with
frozen lineage. Numeric identities, authority, epochs, policy decisions,
verifier outcomes, declarations, and receipts remain trusted; content truth,
transformation/omission fidelity, verifier independence, deployed enforcement,
concurrent revocation, deletion propagation, reproduction, transfer, and
chapter-core support remain unproved. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Context Transaction snapshot/store-refinement receipt: all four stable
transaction targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.ContextTransactionRefinement`,
while seventeen genuine finite contradictions, priority routes, and non-
promotion lemmas remain bounded in `AsiStackProofs.ContextTransactions`. The
reachable model orders snapshot binding, branch/mount-scoped write staging, one-
step versioned commit, exact visible read, taint/deletion-governed derivation,
and receipt-bound materialization. Three general theorems preserve exact read
identity/version and replay custody, require represented declassification
authority and receipt for untainted derivation from a tainted source, and
preserve seven receipt classes at materialization. One six-event witness and
fifteen countermodels are kernel checked. The independent consumer keeps the
exact three-valid/six-invalid store suite and two-valid/four-invalid sequence
suite, executes the witness, and rejects 78/78 mutations. Six assumption,
copied-current-result, or field-projection declarations are physically retired
with frozen lineage. The two original fixture validators now require the
reachable model rather than copied Lean constants. Identifiers, policies,
taint/deletion facts, epochs, and receipts remain trusted; concurrency,
distributed isolation, crash recovery, replay determinism, deployed storage,
erasure, side channels, reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain
unproved. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Verification Bandwidth evidence-gate-refinement receipt: all four stable
adequacy targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.VerificationBandwidthRefinement`. The reachable model separates
proposed, frozen, executed, adjudicated, and handed-off stages over an exact
plan, claim version, packet digest, risk, requested effect, obligation,
authority, rights, budget, horizon, stop-rule, disposition, evaluator,
negative-search, artifact, residual, and expiry record. Its twelve routes stop
malformed plans, unadmitted context, missing obligations, direct core-promotion
requests, inconsistent counts, contradictions, open residuals, correlated
high-risk evaluation, missing negative search, and missing artifacts; the
strongest positive result is handoff to an independent evidence gate. The
independent consumer preserves the exact three-valid/five-invalid admission,
two-valid/seven-invalid contradiction, and three-valid/five-invalid capacity
suites, executes the five-stage witness, covers all twelve routes, and rejects
31/31 mutations. Four baseline declarations are physically retired: one
assumption projection, two copied-summary projections, and one theorem that
mislabeled adequacy as permission to assign verified support. Claim/context,
risk, authority, rights, obligation, evaluator, and outcome facts remain
trusted; model verification capacity, natural-claim adequacy, contradiction
discovery, evaluator competence or independence, calibrated usefulness,
causality, deployed support enforcement, reproduction, transfer, and chapter-
core support remain unproved. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Claim Ledger append-only-refinement receipt: all four stable Claim Ledger
targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.ClaimLedgerRefinement`. The reachable
model separates idle, proposed, appended, materialized, and acknowledged
stages over exact claim identity, base ledger version, prior head digest,
semantic and ontology versions, recorded support ranks, history,
non-overwrite attestation, evidence-owner custody, contradiction state,
dependency closure, migration, residuals, surfaces, and the full pending
proposal. Its 27 declarations prove one-step and arbitrary-run identity,
zero-effect, and ledger/append accounting, batch composition, and terminal
closure. Its 22 route cases reject stale bases, digest or same-digest payload
substitution, ledger authority leakage, open
contradictions, missing evidence-owner receipts, overwritten history, missing
reasons or residuals, incomplete dependency or migration custody, and missing
surface plans or acknowledgments before authorizing exact append,
materialization, and acknowledgment. The independent consumer preserves the
exact five-valid/seven-invalid revision suite and one-valid/eleven-invalid
five-project lifecycle, executes the four-event witness, and rejects 34/34
mutations. Sixteen baseline declarations are physically retired with frozen
lineage; four small legacy lemmas remain bounded. Event fields, digests,
evidence-owner receipts, dependency closure, migration receipts, and surface
receipts remain trusted; natural claim identity, semantic equivalence,
assumption completeness, evidence and contradiction quality, concurrent
persistence, natural multi-surface repair, usefulness, causality,
reproduction, transfer, deployment, and chapter-core support remain unproved.
The corpus now has 1,246 live theorem declarations and 300 live proof targets;
105 activation-baseline declarations are physically absent or changed.
Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Proof-Carrying Claims target-to-writeback-refinement receipt: three stable
proof-carrying and adversarial-dossier targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.ProofCarryingClaimsRefinement`. The reachable model separates
idle, target-frozen, artifact-bound,
verifier-executed, adjudicated, and owner-writeback stages over exact claim,
version, target, interpretation, scope, assumptions, artifact, verifier,
trusted-base, result, attempt, dossier, dissent, limitation, residual, and
owner-handoff custody. Its twenty-three routes reject target, artifact,
verifier, result, event, and writeback substitution; support or external-effect
authority leakage; missing interpretation, scope, assumptions, artifact,
trusted base, execution, passed-result refs, negative attempt history,
independent dossier, dissent, limitation, residual, or owner handoff; an
unverified pass; negative promotion; and mismatch without tribunal. The
independent consumer preserves the exact three-valid/five-invalid proof-
carrying and two-valid/seven-invalid adversarial-dossier suites, executes the
five-event witness, and rejects 36/36 mutations. Four assumption-restating or
broad-summary baseline declarations are physically retired with frozen
lineage; four small legacy artifact/negative-result lemmas remain bounded.
Target meaning, semantic equivalence, artifact or source truth, proof or
verifier soundness, trusted-base correctness, reviewer competence or
independence, verdict quality, claim truth, evidence adequacy, usefulness,
causality, safety, total-cost advantage, natural workloads, concurrency,
deployment, reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain unproved.
At this receipt the corpus had 1,253 live theorem declarations and 300 live
proof targets; 109 activation-baseline declarations and 50 baseline targets
were absent or changed through preserved-lineage replacement. Support-state
effect is exactly `none`.

Tribunal versioned-verdict and appeal refinement receipt: both stable Tribunal
targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.TribunalRefinement`. The reachable model
separates idle, review-requested, dossier-bound, panel-run, verdict-issued,
consumer-acknowledged, and appeal-resolved stages while preserving exact case,
target, evidence, dossier, panel, policy, consumer, verdict-version, event,
owner, acknowledgment, and appeal custody. Its twenty-eight routes reject
case, evidence, verdict, or event substitution and replay; support or effect
authority leakage; missing high-risk probes or panel size; invalid declared
independence graphs or undisclosed shared-evidence risk; missing falsification,
abstention, veto, dissent, actions, constraints, residuals, appeals, owner
handoff, consumer acknowledgment, or requested-appeal resolution; changed-
evidence reuse; and default approval. The independent consumer preserves the
exact three-valid/five-invalid review and one-valid/eleven-invalid method/
independence suites, executes the six-event witness, covers all twenty-eight
routes, and rejects 45/45 mutations. Ten baseline declarations—two direct
assumption projections and eight literal route normalizations—are physically
retired with frozen lineage; three general countermodels remain bounded. Case
and evidence facts, digests, method labels, panel declarations, falsification,
abstention, veto, dissent, actions, residuals, appeal, owner handoff, and
consumer acknowledgment remain trusted. Reviewer competence, independence in
fact, dossier completeness, evidence truth, probe quality, verdict correctness,
legitimacy, action or appeal efficacy, usefulness, causality, safety,
deployment, reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain unproved.
The corpus now has 1,255 live theorem declarations and 300 live proof targets;
119 activation-baseline declarations and 52 baseline targets are absent or
changed through preserved-lineage replacement. Support-state effect is exactly
`none`.

Typed Job versioned execution and closure refinement receipt: all five stable
Typed Job targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.TypedJobRefinement`. The
reachable model separates idle, contract-locked, authorized, dispatched,
execution-observed, adjudicated, and consumer-acknowledged closed stages while
preserving exact job/version, contract, plan, authority, permission, lease,
scheduler, consumer, and event custody. Its twenty-eight routes reject identity
substitution, replay, support/effect authority leakage, unlocked parentage,
approval or permission bypass, inactive leases, missing scheduler slots or
dispatch requests, retry without idempotency, retry authority widening,
unacknowledged cancellation, output after acknowledged cancellation, missing
artifacts or audit, unverified adjudication, missing completion/replay/residual
custody, and unacknowledged closure. The independent consumer preserves the
exact two-valid/seven-invalid delivery and two-valid/nine-invalid durable-
lifecycle suites, executes the six-event witness, covers all twenty-eight
routes, and rejects 42/42 mutations. Three baseline declarations—the valid-
record projection and two generic authored-summary bridges—are physically
retired with frozen lineage; twenty-four exact approval, execution-route, and
durable-lifecycle declarations remain bounded. Job and service identifiers,
digests, approval, permission, lease, scheduler, retry, cancellation, artifact,
audit, verification, receipt, replay, residual, and acknowledgment facts remain
trusted. Scheduler quality, worker or model capability, task success, output
truth, verification soundness, idempotence or enforcement in fact, durable
recovery, cancellation efficacy, receipt/replay truth, usefulness, causality,
safety, deployment, reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain
unproved. The corpus now has 1,266 live theorem declarations and 300 live proof
targets; 122 activation-baseline declarations and 57 baseline targets are
absent or changed through preserved-lineage replacement. Support-state effect
is exactly `none`.

Safety Case readiness-and-invalidation refinement receipt: all eight stable
Safety Case targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.SafetyCaseRefinement` rather
than stopping at isolated Boolean-route reductions. The independently encoded
consumer preserves the exact eight-case suite, reaches all thirty routes across
six stages, rejects all 35 registered mutations, and records one readiness
handoff followed by one descendant-aware invalidation back to challenge. The
eight legacy theorems remain as bounded route countermodels. This establishes
neither argument truth, hazard completeness, evidence adequacy, reviewer
independence, control efficacy, safety, readiness, release authority, deployed
invalidation, transfer, support, nor external effects.

Capability Threshold repeated-assessment refinement receipt: all eight stable
Capability Threshold targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.CapabilityThresholdRefinement` rather than stopping at isolated
decision-tree reductions. The independently encoded consumer preserves the
exact eight-case commitment suite, reaches all 43 routes across draft, scoped,
assessed, adjudicated, controlled, and readiness-bound stages, and rejects all
48 registered identity, evidence, safeguard, bypass, rollback, exception,
authority, replay, and reassessment mutations. The full witness records one
readiness handoff followed by a named trigger, complete descendant invalidation,
ordinary-route blocking, and assessment version 2 back to scoped assessment.
The eight legacy theorems remain bounded countermodels. This establishes
neither capability measurement, threshold validity or crossing, evaluator
independence, safeguard/bypass/rollback efficacy, exception legitimacy,
deployed invalidation, readiness, safety, release, transfer, support, nor an
external effect.

Adversarial Evaluation observation-and-re-evaluation refinement receipt: all
eight stable Adversarial Evaluation targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.AdversarialEvaluationRefinement` rather than stopping at
isolated integrity-route reductions. The independently encoded consumer
preserves the exact eight-case suite, reaches all 56 routes across draft,
scoped, protocol-bound, observed, independently probed, adjudicated, and decision-bound
stages, and rejects all 60 registered identity, context, provenance,
observation, evaluator, hypothesis, discrepancy, mitigation, quarantine,
intent, authority, replay, and re-evaluation mutations. The full witness
records one bounded decision-review handoff followed by a named trigger,
complete descendant invalidation, ordinary-route blocking, and protocol
version 2 back to scoped protocol binding. The eight legacy theorems remain
bounded countermodels. This establishes neither deception or sandbagging
detection, capability, intent, prevalence, monitor/reward/outcome/evaluator
validity, mitigation efficacy, quarantine correctness, readiness, safety,
release, deployed invalidation, transfer, support, nor an external effect.

Scalable Oversight review-and-readmission refinement receipt: all seven stable
Scalable Oversight targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.ScalableOversightRefinement` rather than stopping at
disconnected admission and use trees. The independently encoded consumer
preserves the exact seven-case suite, reaches all 58 routes across draft,
scoped, protocol-bound, reviewed, audited, adjudicated, and use-bound stages,
and rejects all 65 registered identity, scope, protocol, review, audit,
abstention, policy-authority, consumer-handoff, replay, and readmission
mutations. The full witness records one bounded-use handoff followed by a
material-change trigger, complete descendant invalidation, ordinary-route
blocking, and protocol version 2 back to scoped protocol binding. The eight
legacy theorems remain bounded countermodels. This establishes neither reviewer
competence, independence, calibration, outcome truth, debate or consultancy
efficacy, weak-to-strong generalization, causal usefulness, readiness, safety,
release, deployed invalidation, transfer, support, nor an external effect.

Policy Optimization governed-update refinement receipt: all four stable Policy
Optimization targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.PolicyOptimizationRefinement` rather than stopping at
projection-shaped promotion implications and disconnected guard routes. The
Lean model now checks a complete seven-transition lifecycle and a failed
evaluation prefix that cannot reach adjudication, lease, or readmission. The
independent state-transition consumer rejects 3/3 cross-stage controls:
missing causal ablation, support-authority laundering, and incomplete effect
rollback. It also reruns the exact six-sample, two-holdout,
five-candidate lease probe, preserves all three rejected controls and the
experimental-only disposition, reaches all 63 routes across draft, scoped,
full-state-bound, updated, evaluated, adjudicated, and lease-bound stages, and
rejects all 73 registered identity, state-custody, evaluation, causal,
forgetting, rollback, monitoring, authority, replay, and readmission mutations.
The witness records one bounded lease followed by effect-complete rollback,
descendant invalidation, ordinary-route blocking, and protocol version 2 back
to scoped full-state binding. Eleven legacy contradictions and guard routes
remain useful; five projection restatements are retired and three copied
fixture facts are replaced by generated result conformance. This establishes
neither learning, reward or evaluator validity, causal improvement, retained
capability, forgetting control, runtime rollback, monitor efficacy, useful
throughput, safety, alignment, readiness, release, reproduction, transfer,
support, SOTA, AGI, ASI, nor an external effect.

Data Engines custody/update/deletion/readmission refinement receipt: all
fifteen stable Data Engines targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.DataEngineLifecycleRefinement` rather than stopping at three
disconnected finite route functions. The Lean model now checks a complete
eight-transition lifecycle and an axis-laundering prefix that cannot reach
custody or readmission. The independent state-transition consumer rejects 3/3
cross-stage controls: behavior presented as influence, lineage presented as
storage erasure, and incomplete descendant invalidation after custody. It also
reruns the exact four-scenario admission probe, 24-surface/15-transaction full-state
bridge, and three-seed/twelve-arm small-model update result; reaches all 82
routes across draft, scoped, admitted, state-bound, updated,
deletion-assessed, adjudicated, and custody-bound stages; and rejects all 96
registered identity, custody, gate, ordering, replay, claim-laundering,
support, and effect mutations. The witness records one bounded custody handoff
followed by complete invalidation, ordinary-route blocking, a rerun
requirement, a rollback or revocation receipt, and successor version 2 back to
scope. The fifteen legacy route theorems remain bounded consequences. This
establishes neither source or rights truth, semantic-contamination control,
dataset quality, foundation-model learning, target improvement, forgetting,
causal influence reduction, privacy/legal/storage/backup erasure,
external-descendant closure, semantic or production recovery, capability,
safety, readiness, release, reproduction, transfer, support, SOTA, AGI, ASI,
nor an external effect.

Open-Ended Improvement campaign-to-governor/readmission refinement receipt:
all seven stable Open-Ended Improvement targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.OpenEndedImprovementRefinement` rather than stopping at seven
disconnected Boolean admission routes. The Lean model now checks a complete
seven-transition campaign lifecycle and a budget-reset prefix that cannot reach
governor handoff or readmission. The independent state-transition consumer
rejects 3/3 cross-stage controls: budget reset, missing stop effect, and
candidate-authority laundering. It also reruns the exact seven-case admission
fixture, the three-seed/four-arm fixed
update result, and the three-seed/five-arm post-v2.1 stopped campaign; reaches
all 81 routes across draft, scoped, generation-bound, archive-bound, evaluated,
adjudicated, and governor-bound stages; and rejects all 91 identity, scope,
generation, archive, evaluation, stopping, authority, replay, support, and
external-effect mutations. The witness records one governor-review handoff and
returns only to protocol-version-2 scope after a material-change trigger,
complete descendant invalidation, ordinary-route blocking, cumulative-budget
carryover, rerun requirement, and payload/receipt custody. The seven legacy
route theorems remain bounded consequences. The stopped campaign retains all
332 registered model calls, zero of nine eligible challenger seed-arms meeting
the 0.05 gain threshold, four `no_change` claim dispositions, and no support
effect. This establishes neither objective legitimacy, evaluator correctness
or independence, adaptive-search quality, semantic novelty, useful
improvement, hazard-control efficacy, autonomous discovery, transfer, safe
self-improvement, capability, safety, readiness, release, deployment, SOTA,
AGI, ASI, support, nor an external effect.

Recursive Self-Improvement proposal-to-outcome/readmission refinement receipt:
all three stable Recursive Self-Improvement targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.SelfImprovementRefinement` rather than stopping at disconnected
Boolean and projection-shaped route envelopes. The independently encoded
consumer reruns the exact 3-valid/10-invalid self-improvement fixture,
4-valid/5-invalid readiness fixture, 5-valid/9-invalid replacement fixture,
two-transaction/three-control replacement trace, eight-trace/six-control intent
bridge, three-seed/twelve-arm fixed update result, and Open-Ended Improvement
governor handoff. It reaches all 118 routes across draft, scoped,
proposal-bound, implementation-reviewed, evaluated, adjudicated,
replacement-bound, and outcome-reconciled stages and rejects all 129 identity,
scope, proposal, implementation, full-state, evaluation, adjudication,
replacement-outcome, replay, authority, support, and external-effect mutations.
The full witness records one bounded replacement handoff, one returned outcome
reconciliation, and protocol version 2 only after material-change, affected-path,
descendant-invalidation, ordinary-route-blocking, stale-gate-expiry, new-state,
and rerun records. The 22 legacy declarations remain frozen with reviewed
lineage. The fixed update result retains three exact local rollbacks and four
`no_change` dispositions; the Open-Ended challenger retains zero threshold
passes; support and external-effect authority remain `none`. This establishes
neither objective legitimacy, rights truth, state completeness, evaluator or
monitor competence, natural useful improvement, deception detection, live
authority enforcement, production replacement, semantic recovery,
effect-complete rollback, compensation efficacy, recursive composition safety,
reproduction, transfer, release, SOTA, AGI, ASI, support, nor an external
effect.

Personal Compute Hive policy-to-closure refinement receipt: all six stable Hive
targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.HiveLifecycleRefinement`. The reachable
model separates requested, policy-bound, node-selected, leased, executed,
reconciled, and closed stages while preserving exact job, principal, contract,
registry, candidate-set, selected-node, policy, authority, lease, evaluator,
consumer, residual, and event custody. It requires policy-first admission,
complete candidate denominators, least-authority and locality selection, cost,
energy and dropout plans, federation/sandbox/lease boundaries, bound approval,
fresh authority, partition-aware denial before mutation, execution monitoring,
artifact/effect/resource/audit receipts, useful-outcome and residual records,
dropout recovery, revocation and descendant closure, acknowledgment, and
non-claims. The independent consumer preserves the exact 2/8 Hive-admission and
3/6 partitioned-authority suites, covers all 47 routes, executes the six-receipt
witness, and rejects 53/53 mutations. Five weak projections or fixture-summary
declarations are retired; 21 genuine legacy consequences remain beside
seventeen refinement declarations. The authored useful-outcome field is not a
measured natural-workload result. Deployed scheduling, attestation, federation,
sandbox enforcement, partition tolerance, availability, privacy, security,
energy measurement, dropout-recovery efficacy, useful-work advantage, transfer,
SOTA, and support remain unproved. The corpus now has 1,303 live theorem
declarations and 300 targets; 172 baseline declarations and 83 targets are
absent or changed. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Compact Generation source-to-closure refinement receipt: all nine stable
Compact Generative Systems, Generate-Verify-Repair, and Semantic
Representation targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.CompactGenerationRefinement`. The reachable model separates
requested, source-bound, generated, verified, residualized, published,
migrated, consumed, and closed stages while preserving exact representation,
version, source, contract, generator, target, verifier, residual-ledger,
consumer, result-set, and event identities. It requires rights and consumer
policy before generation; bounded generation and cost records; verifier
identity and independent-evaluator declaration; observed reconstruction;
lossy-exactness rejection; executable preserved-source fallback; residual
records, owners, burden, provenance, total cost, and fallback receipts;
digest-bound publication and evidence transitions; semantic provenance,
grounding-evaluator, migration, reference-continuity, and consumer-map gates;
downstream evaluation; residual-chain closure; and non-claims. The independent
consumer reaches all 60 routes, rejects 51/51 non-accepting mutations, executes
the eight-receipt fallback witness, and SHA-256 binds the exact five-case GVR,
three-valid/five-invalid conservation, four-entry repository trace, and
four-entry/five-invalid storage replay results. Twenty-six projections,
fixture normalizations, copied table facts, and all-true summary bridges are
physically retired with frozen lineage; six genuine finite countermodels remain
beside seventeen refinement declarations. `utilityMeasured` and all other
policy fields are authored inputs, not natural-workload results. Codec
correctness, verifier correctness or real independence, obligation discovery,
semantic grounding, deployed fallback, useful compression, downstream utility,
total-cost advantage, reproduction, transfer, SOTA, and support remain
unproved. At that tranche the corpus had 1,300 live theorem declarations and
300 targets;
198 baseline declarations and 92 targets are absent or changed. Support-state
and external-effect authority are exactly `none`.

Fast Generation request-to-closure refinement receipt: all five stable Fast
Generation targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.FastGenerationRefinement`.
The reachable model separates requested, context-bound, mode-selected,
draft-generated, verified-or-fallback, accounted, decided, and closed stages
while preserving exact task, version, context, task-set, consumer, mode,
baseline, verifier, result, residual, and event identities. It requires rights,
deadline, risk, quality, verifier-identity, evaluator-independence declaration,
acceptance, matched-baseline, latency, compute/memory, and high-risk gates;
bounded draft and generation-cost records; observed verification; executable
fallback and fallback residuals; accepted output and quality gates; verifier,
fallback, useful-denominator, baseline, cost-separation, output-digest,
evidence-transition, decision, consumer, descendant, residual-closure, digest,
cleanup, and non-claim records. The independent consumer reaches all 60
routes, rejects 51/51 non-accepting mutations, executes verified and fallback
witnesses, and SHA-256 binds the exact two-valid/four-invalid baseline,
three-route/four-task accounting, and one-valid/six-invalid Theseus suites.
Thirty-five projections, assumption restatements, fixture copies, and authored
summary bridges are physically retired with frozen lineage; three genuine
finite countermodels remain beside seventeen refinement declarations.
`taskSuccess`, `usefulDenominator`, verifier outcomes, fallback, and cost fields
are authored inputs, not natural-workload measurements. Model generation or
speed, verifier correctness or real independence, useful throughput, deployed
fallback, serving behavior, reproduction, transfer, SOTA, and support remain
unproved. The corpus now has 1,270 live theorem declarations and 300 targets;
261 baseline declarations and 110 targets are absent or changed. Support-state
and external-effect authority are exactly `none`.

Governed Deliberation request-to-closure refinement receipt: all ten stable
Deliberation targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.DeliberationRefinement`.
The reachable model separates eight stages and 59 routes across request, scope,
candidate custody, evaluation, selection, stopping, bounded planning handoff,
and closure. The independent consumer reaches all routes, rejects 51/51 non-
accepting mutations, exercises residual escrow and a bounded planning handoff,
reruns the exact admission, post-v2 synthetic, and post-v2.1 actual-model
validators, and SHA-256 binds four exact result artifacts. The actual-model
boundary remains five arms at 0/60 final correct with no initially correct
cases, a `no_change` disposition, and `no_core_promotion`; it is a preserved
failed attempt, not useful-reasoning evidence. Eight flat route consequences
are retired with frozen lineage, two general countermodels remain, and eleven
refinement declarations carry the reachable policy. Authored verifier,
corruption, repair, faithfulness, cost, useful-metric, and residual fields are
not measurements. Support-state and external-effect authority are exactly
`none`.

Artifact Compression artifact-to-consumption refinement receipt: all three
stable compression-artifact targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.ArtifactCompressionRefinement`. The reachable model separates
eight stages and 53 routes across registration, encoding, reconstruction
verification, consumer probing, fallback preparation, qualified-use admission,
observed consumption, and closure. The independent consumer reaches all routes,
rejects 44/44 non-accepting mutations, reruns the exact fixture, RAW0 replay,
and NEURAL0 metadata validators, and SHA-256 binds those artifacts plus both
no-change decisions. The RAW0 replay remains a 3,936-byte input and 4,434-byte
archive with no compression advantage and one rejected corrupt-byte mutation;
the NEURAL0 surface remains three historical observations over one
100,000,000-byte decoded artifact without a fresh encode. Seventeen projections
and flat route consequences are retired, two countermodels remain, and eight
refinement declarations carry the reachable policy. Authored decoder, probe,
utility, rare-case, cost, fallback, and outcome fields are not measurements.
Support-state and external-effect authority are exactly `none`.

Resource Economics allocation-and-simulation-transport refinement receipt: all
eleven stable Resource Economics and Simulation Fidelity targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.ResourceEconomicsRefinement`. The reachable model separates
nine stages and 66 routes across request binding, budget declaration, capacity
reservation, scheduling, execution accounting, outcome verification,
simulation or benchmark claim transport, spend and outcome reconciliation, and
closure. The independently implemented consumer reaches every route, rejects
57/57 non-accepting mutations, reruns twelve bounded source validators, and
SHA-256 binds their exact results. Those sources deliberately retain different
evidence meanings: synthetic fixtures, repository replays, local timing,
historical CI records, and sanitized imports are not pooled into one empirical
claim. Thirty-five assumption projections and copied fixture summaries are
physically retired with frozen lineage; twenty-three genuine countermodels and
bounded route or event computations remain; eight refinement declarations
carry the stronger lifecycle. The fixture-specific 66.98 percent cost result
does not establish economic optimality, and clean simulation records do not
establish simulator adequacy, physical feasibility, or transfer. The corpus now
has 1,243 live theorem declarations and 298 targets; 296 activation-baseline
declarations and 123 targets are absent or changed. Support-state and external-
effect authority are exactly `none`.

Readiness candidate-to-terminal refinement receipt: all three stable Readiness
targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.ReadinessRefinement`. The reachable model
separates candidate, shadow, canary, qualified, default-ready, quarantined, and
terminal stages while preserving exact capability, implementation, model-state,
workload, baseline, evaluator, policy, authority, consumer, fallback, residual,
and event custody. It requires baseline and evaluator declaration, fresh shadow
evidence, regression-floor preservation, residual escrow, fallback, rollback
planning, monitoring, canary useful-throughput/unsafe-release/latency-cost
accounting, independent evaluation, transfer and delayed outcomes, transitive
quarantine, ordinary-route blocking, bounded diagnostics, dependency and
revocation closure, terminal receipt, and consumer acknowledgment. The
independent consumer preserves the exact 4/5 readiness-residual suite, 6/12
lifecycle suite, and one-record/nine-mutation six-project check-lifecycle suite;
covers all forty routes; executes the six-receipt witness with one ordinary
release, one quarantine, one terminal closure, zero support assignments, and
zero external effects; and rejects 45/45 mutations. Nine definition-unpacking
or fixture-summary declarations are physically retired with frozen lineage;
eleven genuine legacy countermodels remain bounded beside seventeen new
refinement declarations. Evidence truth, evaluator competence or independence,
gate calibration, natural useful throughput, effect-complete rollback, deployed
quarantine/revocation, transfer, safety, SOTA, and chapter-core support remain
unproved. The corpus now has 1,291 live theorem declarations and 300 live proof
targets; 165 activation-baseline declarations and 77 baseline targets are
absent or changed through preserved-lineage replacement. Support-state effect
is exactly `none`.

Artifact record-reality and trust refinement receipt: all ten stable Artifact
Graph targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.ArtifactRealityRefinement`. The
reachable model separates idle, registered, provenance-bound,
replay-validated, reality-cross-checked, trust-bound, and admitted stages while
preserving exact artifact, content, parent-job, source, context, transaction,
certificate, tool, claim, test, policy, consumer, and event custody. Its
thirty-three routes reject identity and lineage substitution, event replay,
support/effect authority leakage, missing provenance and audit, insufficient or
unvalidated replay, stale certificates, missing observed artifacts, dependent
cross-checks, failed traps, unbounded attestation, missing trusted cores or
roots, self-verifier laundering, unbounded verification recursion, erased
outside-TCB residuals, incomplete revocation closure, and unacknowledged
consumer admission. The independent consumer preserves eight exact suites—2/6
artifact replay, 1/4 record-reality sequence, 3/6 receipt faithfulness, 4/5
repository audit, 4/5 repository challenge, 1/7 live attestation, 4/8
randomized attestation, and 3/6 epistemic TCB—executes the six-event witness,
covers all thirty-three routes, and rejects 53/53 mutations. Eight baseline
declarations—one direct projection and seven generic authored-summary
bridges—are physically retired with frozen lineage; thirty-five exact legacy
consequences remain bounded. Identifiers, digests, reference-presence flags,
replay judgments, certificate state, observation, cross-check, trap,
attestation, trust-root, verifier-independence, recursion-stop, residual,
revocation, and acknowledgment facts remain trusted. Open-world provenance,
artifact/source/content truth, replay or verifier correctness, external
independence, deployed propagation, usefulness, causality, safety,
reproduction, transfer, and chapter-core support remain unproved. The corpus
now has 1,273 live theorem declarations and 300 live proof targets; 130
activation-baseline declarations and 67 baseline targets are absent or changed
through preserved-lineage replacement. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Procedural Memory promotion and retirement refinement receipt: both stable
Procedural Memory targets now resolve to
`AsiStackProofs.ProceduralMemoryRefinement`. The reachable model separates
idle, clustered, abstracted, verified, qualified, routable, and retired stages
while preserving exact procedure, version, source-set, trace-cluster,
abstraction, regression-suite, SCF, policy, consumer, and event custody. Its
thirty-two routes reject identity or lineage substitution, replay,
support/effect authority leakage, missing comparable traces or negative
examples, missing source/effect receipts, incomplete abstraction contracts,
failed verification or regression, missing benchmark floors or active SCFs,
unplanned or unrehearsed rollback, missing monitoring, residuals, non-claims,
consumer acknowledgment, retirement triggers, or retirement receipts. The
independent consumer preserves the exact three-valid/six-invalid loop and one-
valid/ten-invalid historical promotion suites, executes the six-event witness,
covers all thirty-two routes, and rejects 33/33 mutations. Five baseline
declarations—two assumption projections and three fixture admissions—are
physically retired with frozen lineage; fourteen legacy negative cases remain
bounded. Trace comparability, abstraction fields, verifier/regression results,
benchmark, SCF, rollback, monitor, residual, acknowledgment, and retirement
facts remain trusted. Natural trace mining, semantic abstraction, generated-
tool correctness, verifier quality, actual rollback, deployed routing,
monitoring, retirement, usefulness, causality, safety, reproduction, transfer,
and chapter-core support remain unproved. The corpus now has 1,272 live theorem
declarations and 329 live proof targets; 405 activation-baseline declarations
and 223 baseline targets are absent or changed through preserved-lineage
replacement. Support-state effect is exactly `none`.

Routing and MoECOT request-to-closure refinement receipt: all five stable
Routing/MoECOT targets now resolve to `AsiStackProofs.RoutingRefinement`. The
reachable model separates idle, request-bound, registry-frozen, lease-qualified,
dispatched, outcome-observed, and closed stages while preserving exact task,
request, registry, candidate-set, selected-specialist, authority, readiness,
context/tool lease, evaluator, policy, consumer, and event custody. It requires
a complete candidate denominator without held-out label leakage, the least
capable adequate authorized and ready specialist, selective action for ambiguous
requests, explicit fallback or residual ownership, inspected runtime and replay
references, separate dispatch grant and isolation, distinct route and answer
outcomes, unsafe/cost observation, lifecycle currentness, revocation closure,
consumer acknowledgment, and non-claims. The independent consumer preserves
the exact three-valid/seven-invalid routing lease suite, four-valid/five-invalid
readiness suite, and exact post-v2 routing/deliberation result; covers all 42
routes; executes the six-receipt witness with one dispatch, one route outcome,
one answer outcome, zero support assignments, and zero external effects; and
rejects 47/47 mutations. Sixteen baseline projection/fixture declarations are
physically retired with frozen lineage; four load-bearing legacy theorems remain
bounded beside seventeen new lifecycle declarations. Natural useful routing,
strong-model transfer, answer correctness, evaluator independence, deployed
authority or MoECOT runtime/replay correctness, substrate superiority,
autonomous architecture search, RSI, SOTA, and chapter-core support remain
unproved. The corpus now has 1,283 live theorem declarations and 300 live proof
targets; 151 activation-baseline declarations and 74 baseline targets are
absent or changed through preserved-lineage replacement. Support-state effect
is exactly `none`.

### P2 completion gate

Every activation-baseline theorem and target has an audited disposition and
claim-centered dependency path; redundant, vacuous, misleading projection-only,
and unconsumed proof surface is consolidated, retired, or explicitly bounded.
Every formal atom is either proved within an explicit model, narrowed to the
proved model, refuted by a countermodel, routed to executable/empirical work, or
recorded as `blocked_after_full_attempt`. Every safety-critical and integration
model has a model-adequacy dossier, countermodel suite, consumer trace, and
explicit non-claims. `lake build` and a larger theorem count are necessary only
where appropriate and are never sufficient.

### P2/M3 closure receipt at 2026-07-16

P2 and M3 are complete under `proofs/p2_closure_audit.json`, enforced by
`scripts/validate_p2_closure_audit.py`. The receipt does not declare the
remaining real-world work complete. It proves the narrower project-management
and formal-accounting result required by this gate:

- all 1,151 activation-baseline theorem declarations and all 298 activation-
  baseline targets are semantically reviewed or terminally dispositioned under
  a canonical claim owner;
- the current 298-target manifest is fully implemented, exactly mirrored by
  proof triage, and divided into six explicit adequacy routes totaling 298;
- all 73 adequate finite-record targets remain narrow, while 158 too-narrow,
  16 richer-semantics, 35 executable-first, 14 empirical-first, and two
  artifact-import targets retain mandatory forward routes rather than being
  laundered into proof claims;
- the 16 richer-semantics obligations are exactly localized to Constitutional
  Alignment (six), Moral Uncertainty and Value Conflict (six), and Resource
  Economics (four), with their existing finite lifecycle models preserved and
  their real-schema, concurrent-effect, rollback, review-quality, measurement,
  and transfer work routed to P3, P4, and P6;
- nine required safety-critical, integration, and review-named refinement
  models have model-adequacy dossiers and independently implemented registered
  consumers; and
- the closure validator rejects support laundering, baseline deletion,
  unrouted richer semantics, target-count laundering, semantic-model omission,
  and false closure state.

This is a routing and semantic-depth closure, not evidence that a chapter-core
claim, deployed behavior, effect-complete rollback, evaluator competence,
useful throughput, safety, economic optimality, reproduction, transfer, SOTA,
AGI, or ASI has been established. P3 is now active. M2 is active first as the
measurement and reproduction prerequisite; M4 remains pending until that
foundation passes sacrificial preflight.

### Accepted structural expansion: replaceable cognitive substrates

The 2026-07-15 review of the two author-supplied ChatGPT design threads passed
the distinct-interface test. The controlling intake and research plan is
`docs/replaceable_cognitive_substrates_intake_and_research_plan.md`. The new
chapter is **Replaceable Cognitive Substrates: Beyond Transformer
Monoculture**, stable ID
`replaceable-cognitive-substrates-beyond-transformer-monoculture`, inserted in
Part III after Routing Heads and Specialist Cores and before Readiness Gates.

This is the only chapter expansion currently authorized by the roadmap. It is
warranted because no existing owner defines the Cognitive Kernel ABI through
which a Transformer, state-space model, recurrent controller, long-convolution
model, KAN component, external-memory controller, continuous-time network, or
future substrate can be exchanged while memory, execution, evidence, authority,
checkpoint, rollback, and evaluation contracts remain intact. Existing owners
retain routing, readiness, replacement, fast generation, deliberation,
recurrence, self-improvement, and integration; the new chapter owns the learned
substrate boundary and architecture-tournament evidence program.

Structural insertion receipt, followed by the remaining exact sequence:

1. **Completed 2026-07-15:** register and passage-review the primary-source queue named in the intake
   plan, including both favorable and critical KAN comparisons and the current
   Mamba-3, recurrent-compute, test-time-memory, and strong Transformer
   baselines. The source pressure set now also includes foundational S4; the
   primary Tiny Recursive Model; independent TRM identity/sampling/depth and
   compute-matched autoregressive analyses; UniMatrix's compressed-state versus
   sparse-pointer recall contrast; and Memory Caching's fixed-state versus
   growing-memory tradeoff; and an edge-hardware counterstudy that prevents
   cloud throughput from standing in for device-neutral efficiency. The queue
   now also includes Inkling's release-day primary records as a current hybrid
   case: sparse MoE, five-local-to-one-global attention, relative positions,
   short convolutions, multimodal encoders, controllable effort, and explicit
   hardware/numerics boundaries. The live inventory now contains 313 sources;
   the chapter has 34 bounded assignments
   and every assignment has a source note.
2. **Completed 2026-07-15:** define the core claim, subordinate claims, falsifiers, promotion ceilings,
   non-claims, chapter-family owner, and source mappings before drafting.
3. **Completed 2026-07-15:** add the chapter to `book_structure.json`, run the manifest-driven scaffold,
   and update the generated outline/Quarto/appendix projections rather than
   hand-editing `_quarto.yml`. The live manuscript now contains 55 uniquely
   identified chapters.
4. **Completed 2026-07-15:** atomize and semantically review the new material claims so P1's completed
   54-chapter activation receipt remains historical truth while the live program
   becomes 55/55 with no unowned claim. The 15 reviewed addendum atoms live in
   `evidence_quality/replaceable_cognitive_substrates_claim_atom_addendum.json`
   with a readable chapter dossier; support remains `argument`.
5. **P2 bounded slice completed 2026-07-15; empirical P5 work pending:** the
   finite Cognitive Kernel ABI model and independent conformance checker now
   cover proposal/effect separation, authority monotonicity, exact checkpoint
   identity, migration compatibility, revocation, fallback, evaluator identity,
   receipts, residuals, assistance/cost custody, and no-promotion boundaries.
   They do not run real kernels, translate full-state checkpoints, observe a
   deployed effect service, or establish architecture usefulness.
6. **Pending P5/P6:** preregister matched kernel tournaments and the frozen-core verified-
   abstraction ratchet before any outcome-bearing run. Memory capacity, recurrent
   state size, sparse-slot capacity, cache growth, pointer fusion, sampling,
   voting, task identity, recursion depth, useful stopping, and marginal utility
   by step are fixed experimental axes rather than post-hoc explanations.
7. **Continuing invariant:** keep OneCell, SymLiquid, Mamba/SSM, KAN, recurrent, attention, memory-
   augmented, exact-search, and hybrid lanes as candidates until evidence
   adjudication. Elegance, simplicity, novelty, or author preference cannot
   promote a substrate.

The chapter's strong research thesis is that the permanent learned cognitive
law can remain compact while verified external structure grows, but this thesis
must be exposed to the hidden-complexity and strong-baseline falsifiers in the
intake plan. Architectural recursive self-improvement means governed proposal,
training, comparison, shadow, canary, promotion, composition, rollback, and
retirement of substrates—not merely weight updates and never self-approval.

## P3 — Executable integrated reference architecture

### Measurement and execution foundation (M2)

Before an outcome-bearing flagship opens, install one shared research
foundation:

- a versioned task-corpus contract with provenance, license/public-safety
  policy, task-family coverage, frozen tuning/sacrificial/held-out splits,
  duplicate and contamination checks, expected difficulty range, effect model,
  and retention policy;
- a dated model-selection record containing at least one current strong
  general model and one independently useful comparison family when the claim
  includes model transfer, plus a smaller reproducible/local model where that
  contrast is informative;
- exact model, API, weight, tokenizer, inference, sampling, context, tool,
  system-prompt, and retry identities, with a drift rule that forces
  requalification after an upstream version changes;
- evaluator calibration against frozen gold or executable outcomes, inter-
  implementation disagreement, false-accept/false-reject estimates, abstention
  policy, label isolation, candidate/evaluator contamination controls, and
  adjudication rules fixed before labels are opened;
- a statistics policy that names each estimand, minimum meaningful effect or
  equivalence region, confidence/credible interval, precision or power target,
  multiplicity handling, seed and task hierarchy, missingness/exclusion rules,
  sequential-stopping policy, robustness analyses, and the difference between
  confirmatory and exploratory results;
- an environment manifest that locks code, dependencies, hardware, drivers,
  seeds, locale, clocks, network policy, file/process/container state, and
  external-service versions while recording unavoidable nondeterminism;
- an experiment-safety envelope: least-privilege credentials, isolated
  sandboxes, synthetic or reversible effects for dangerous cases, no
  self-propagation, no unbounded external action, explicit spending and runtime
  ceilings, emergency stops, data minimization, secret/PII scanning, and
  incident quarantine; and
- an append-only raw-result and artifact protocol with checksums, failed-run
  preservation, redaction receipts, environment reconstruction, and a
  one-command public-safe replay or an exact reason it cannot be public.

#### M2 closure receipt at 2026-07-16

M2 is complete at instrument-foundation scope under
`experiments/research_foundation/foundation.json` and
`scripts/validate_research_foundation.py`. The frozen packet contains 24
public-safe natural-language tasks across governed work, governed learning, and
assurance/control; exact 6 sacrificial / 6 tuning / 12 held-out partitions; a
separate digest-bound evaluator-only label file; current-strong,
independent-comparison, and small-local model roles; exact inference,
evaluator, statistics, environment, safety, and append-only artifact contracts;
and ten non-evidentiary parser/evaluator canaries. Eight of ten canaries are
schema-admissible, seven of those eight are semantically correct, the two
independent evaluator implementations agree, and the validator rejects six
foundation mutations.

The current-strong selection, `gemini-3.5-flash`, was checked against Google's
official model catalog on 2026-07-16 and must still resolve through the provider
model endpoint before any campaign. The two local roles are exact pinned Qwen
snapshots. This receipt establishes neither model access nor performance,
corpus representativeness, campaign power, evaluator generality, useful
throughput, safety, reproduction, transfer, or support. Campaign-specific
sample-size, model-access, safety, and replay extensions remain gates. M4 is now
active.

Install a campaign-instrument contract before any P4 or P5 outcome-bearing
run:

1. Separate the reasoning channel from the scored final-decision channel. The
   final channel must use grammar-, schema-, or type-constrained decoding where
   the runtime supports it; otherwise use a separately budgeted repair-free
   second pass whose only job is to emit the registered object. Never scrape a
   hidden or truncated reasoning trace and call it a decision.
2. Freeze independent reasoning and answer budgets, stop sequences, maximum
   context, truncation handling, retry policy, and a nonempty-answer reserve.
   Raising a cap is allowed only in sacrificial preflight, never after held-out
   outcomes are visible.
3. Run a sacrificial positive/negative canary suite with known valid and invalid
   decisions. At least 80% of expected final decisions must be schema-admissible,
   no arm may have a zero candidate denominator, and truncation or one
   termination mode may not dominate the sample. The preregistration may set a
   stricter claim-specific floor but not a weaker one without a written
   instrument rationale and validator change.
4. Calibrate semantics separately from syntax: a schema parser establishes
   record shape only; a label-isolated evaluator or executable oracle must test
   decision content, abstention, and route correctness.
5. Include at least one dated current strong general model for claim-bearing
   work. A pinned Qwen3 4B or comparable local model may remain as a
   reproducibility, floor, or mechanism-control arm, but it cannot be the sole
   basis for dismissing a claim when the task exceeds its demonstrated
   capability range.
6. If the adequacy gate fails, stop before the confirmatory split, emit
   `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`, preserve all costs and raw
   outputs, repair prospectively, and rerun a fresh preflight. The failed cycle
   contributes no claim-level `no_change`, refutation, or support-retention
   disposition.
7. Correct the two immutable 2026-07-13 transition records through explicit
   superseding lineage, not deletion or history rewriting: their protocol
   outcome becomes `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`; the separate
   repaired 2026-07-14 32-candidate governance-tax `no_change` result remains
   unchanged.

All claim dispositions must carry two orthogonal fields: `protocol_outcome`
and `claim_outcome`. The canonical protocol outcomes are
`instrument_adequate` and `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`. The
canonical claim outcomes are `support_raised`, `support_retained`,
`claim_narrowed`, `claim_refuted`, `claim_deprecated`, and
`blocked_after_full_attempt`. Existing exact disposition strings remain as
lineage-preserving detail. A new top-level class requires a schema migration
rationale, backward mapping, updated consumers, and at least one rejecting
mutation; wording preference alone is insufficient.

The sacrificial/tuning split may repair protocol reliability and find an
informative operating range. It may not contribute to a confirmatory held-out
result or be silently promoted after outcome inspection.

Build three interoperable vertical slices instead of isolated schema examples:

### Slice A — Governed work transaction

Intent contract → plan DAG → context materialization → route/fallback/abstain →
model/tool execution → observed effects → artifact graph → evaluator decision →
release/quarantine → rollback/replay → residual ledger.

### Slice B — Governed learning transaction

Data admission → feedback provenance → candidate update → model/optimizer/
scheduler/RNG/cache/checkpoint/backup/descendant inventory → independent
evaluation → canary → promotion/rejection → exact rollback → unlearning and
storage/influence/privacy disposition.

### Slice C — Assurance and control transaction

Threat/capability threshold → oversight protocol → authority decision → safety
case and defeaters → runtime monitor → incident/failure injection → revocation,
quarantine, contest, recovery, and release decision.

### Cross-slice epistemic and stabilization contracts

Every slice must preserve an **environment–observation–belief separation**:
environment or simulator reference state, when available, is not the same thing
as the observation delivered to the system; an observation is not the same
thing as an interpretation, latent-state hypothesis, prediction, causal model,
or accepted belief. Observation records are immutable inputs to versioned
interpretation transitions. Belief revision may supersede an interpretation but
may not rewrite the observation or erase the inference lineage that produced an
earlier belief. Plans, context packets, claims, interventions, and effects bind
the exact observation, representation, world-model, predictor, and belief
versions they consumed. Simulator reference state is diagnostic ground truth
for that environment only and confers no external-world transfer claim.

An adaptive slice must also implement a **quiescent stabilization epoch** before
calling a changed system stable. The epoch closes new candidate-mutation
admission, drains or explicitly residualizes in-flight work and effects,
snapshots the full declared state, consolidates memory without breaking episode-
to-abstraction and abstraction-to-episode lineage, replays frozen regression,
safety, and effect checks, compares against the last sealed epoch, reconciles
undeclared mutations, and then promotes, rolls back, quarantines, or retains the
state as provisional. Systems that cannot globally quiesce must prove a bounded
partition protocol and record concurrent or remote state as a residual; ordinary
continuous operation may not be relabeled as stabilization.

Current ownership remains distributed across Planning, Data Engines, Claim
Ledgers, VCM, Context Transactions, Artifact Graphs, Procedural Memory,
Replacement/Rollback, Recursive Self-Improvement, and the Integrated Reference
Architecture. This roadmap does not pre-authorize a new world-model or memory
chapter. Structural expansion occurs only if the executable campaign exposes a
durable interface, invariant, artifact, failure mode, and evidence program that
these owners cannot coherently absorb.

Each slice must use real model outputs and actual local effects, not only
preauthored JSON. It must support deterministic replay where determinism is
claimed, record nondeterminism where it exists, inject failures at every
boundary, and reconcile declared with observed state. Public-safe Theseus
artifacts may supply natural traces only after exact artifact truth and replay
authority are established.

### P3 completion gate

All three slices run from one versioned interface set; exercise successful,
refused, escalated, failed, partially effected, rolled-back, replayed, stale,
revoked, and corrupted cases; preserve raw receipts and residuals; and expose
where the reference implementation remains simulated. No slice result promotes
a broad core claim until the matching atoms and transfer requirements pass. At
least one cross-slice trace begins with a raw observation, preserves competing
interpretations through a belief decision, and survives a sealed quiescent
epoch; mutation, lineage-loss, and in-flight-effect controls must reject. The
campaign instrument passes its sacrificial adequacy gate, and the historical
2026-07-13 instrument-limited transitions have superseding protocol-outcome
lineage before P4 or P5 opens.

### P3/M4 closure receipt at 2026-07-16

P3 and M4 are complete at bounded local-reference scope under
`experiments/p3_integrated_slices/results/2026-07-16-local.json` and
`scripts/validate_p3_integrated_slices.py`. One versioned interface consumes
retained real model output from the governed-work flagship, real trained
checkpoint bytes from the update-causality campaign, and retained real model
output plus bounded safety-case routes for assurance/control.

The twelve cases cover all ten required lifecycle states across all three
slices. Six local effects are independently byte-observed; three restore their
exact prior digest, one retains an owned backup residual, one is quarantined,
and one is acknowledged. Twenty named failure injections cover every declared
boundary from intent through recovery and remain contained. One cross-slice
trace begins with an immutable raw observation, preserves two competing
interpretations through a versioned belief decision, binds all three consumers,
and passes one sealed local quiescent epoch over model, optimizer, scheduler,
RNG, cache, backup, descendants, effects, claims, artifacts, and memory while
retaining one in-flight residual.

The separate
`evidence_transitions/post_v2_3/instrument_failure_supersession.json` preserves
the immutable 2026-07-13 governance-tax and residual-honesty transitions while
superseding their claim-level `no_change` interpretation with
`instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`; neither counts as a claim attempt.
The repaired 32-candidate governance-tax `no_change` transition remains
unchanged. Eleven mutation controls reject source, state, effect, rollback,
epistemic-lineage, stabilization, failure-escape, and support laundering.

This closes the executable reference slice, not the empirical program. It does
not establish fresh model quality, open-world effect discovery, deployed or
distributed rollback, evaluator/reviewer correctness, useful throughput,
safety, reproduction, transfer, SOTA, AGI, ASI, release, publication, external-
action authority, or chapter-core support. P4 and M5 are now active.

## P4 — Signature causal campaigns

### Campaign 1 — Governed usefulness and effect-complete rollback

- Retire the unchanged low-throughput flagship workload.
- Run a sacrificial difficulty sweep to find a regime where a strong baseline
  produces a nontrivial mixture of useful-safe, useful-unsafe, useless-safe,
  and useless-unsafe outputs.
- Freeze a fresh held-out natural task corpus only after the evaluator can
  distinguish those cells reliably.
- Compare simpler baseline, record-only governance, full governance, and
  targeted ablations under matched model, information, and total cost.
- Jointly measure useful completion, useful release, unsafe release, false
  refusal, calibration, latency, generation/evaluation/governance cost,
  operator burden, residual discovery, rollback completeness, cleanup, and
  displaced work.
- Treat zero releases, zero useful candidates, or an evaluator ceiling as
  non-estimable, never as a safety victory.

#### M5 campaign-readiness receipt at 2026-07-16

The first M5 package is frozen at
`experiments/p4_governed_usefulness/preregistration.json`. A read-only access
check in a new signed-in ChatGPT tab observed Chat `Pro`; its model menu
displayed `GPT-5.6 Sol`. The author clarified that Work `Extra High` is a
different option, so the campaign deliberately selects Chat `Pro` for the
strong-model arm and records both labels separately. This is a provider UI
observation, not an API version, weight snapshot, or reproducibility claim.

The exact v1 prompt was submitted once after the author clarified the mode
selection. Chat Pro returned six of six schema-admissible records in 171.865
seconds with no identity drift, transport retry, or evaluator disagreement, but
only one of six matched the frozen exact route-plus-residual strings. V1 is
therefore terminal `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`, counts as no
claim attempt, and opens no downstream denominator.

The preserved diagnosis does not rescore v1. It finds that the evaluator
wrongly treated exact free-form snake-case residual wording and fine-grained
non-release route names as semantic identity. A new v2 protocol is frozen under
a new identity before any response: six canonical decision classes, seven
canonical residual classes, unscored route detail and concise reasoning, a 5/6
schema floor, a 5/6 exact canonical-semantic floor, and zero evaluator
disagreement. After the author explicitly instructed “Run v2 in Chat Pro,” the
exact prompt was submitted once in a fresh Chat conversation. The interface
displayed Chat `Pro` and `GPT-5.6 Sol` immediately before and after the
170.996-second response; there was no retry, evaluator disagreement, parse
failure, or displayed identity drift. V2 returned 6/6 schema-admissible rows,
6/6 exact residual classes, but only 3/6 exact decision classes. It is therefore
terminal `instrument_inadequate_recampaign_required`, counts as no claim
attempt, and opens neither the difficulty sweep nor a confirmatory denominator.

The preserved v2 diagnosis does not rescore the three mismatches. It records
`quarantine` versus frozen `deny` for the rights-missing cohort, `deny` versus
frozen `defer` for incomplete rollback state, and `rollback` versus frozen
`defer` for the open defeater. Each response preserved the blocking consequence
and exact residual, but v2 had not made the neighboring lifecycle actions
mutually exclusive through definitions or precedence. Expanding the accepted
labels after observing the answer would be retrospective scoring. These v1 and
v2 Chat Pro runs are now closed historical instrument audits. They will not be
repeated in ChatGPT or used as a future gate. The next repair is a
self-contained local instrument qualification under a new protocol identity.
It must separate terminal eligibility from remediation action; define decision
precedence or prospectively declare consequence-equivalent sets; retain label
isolation, unscored free text, 5/6 floors, and zero evaluator disagreement;
close candidate artifacts before either evaluator loads labels; pass
independently implemented evaluators and negative mutations; and record the
exact candidate-generator role and its claim ceiling. Safe local execution has
standing roadmap authority. No new hosted-chat submission or user approval is
required. No usefulness, safety, rollback, causal, chapter-support,
publication, or release claim follows from the historical runs or instrument
qualification alone.

The local repair then ran prospectively without a hosted chat. V3, v4, and v5
used a cached quantized Qwen3-4B role and failed at 2/8, 6/8, and 6/8 exact
tuples; v6 substituted cached Phi-4-mini and failed the exact schema at 0/8.
V7 was abandoned before generation when the current Codex task recognized that
it had already seen evaluator labels. V8 used a freshly cached, identity-pinned
Qwen3-8B role and produced 8/8 schema-admissible records, 8/8 exact terminal
eligibility judgments, 8/8 exact residuals, and 6/8 exact remediation actions;
it remains failed because its frozen gate scored the full tuple. V9
prospectively narrowed only the sacrificial answer-channel construct: terminal
eligibility and exact residual are scored, while remediation remains a required
enum and a reported diagnostic because the tuning utility rubric scores exact
actions separately. Under that frozen rule, the one-shot Qwen3-8B run passed
8/8 schema and 8/8 scored semantics with zero evaluator disagreement; exact
remediation remained 6/8. This qualifies only the local answer channel and
opens tuning, not a claim or confirmatory denominator.

The first tuning design was then frozen and executed. It defines sixteen tasks
across eight natural governance
families, evaluator-only rubrics, one shared candidate per task/seed, and six
matched policies: simple baseline, record-only, full governance, and authority,
evidence-freshness, and residual/rollback ablations. Two independent evaluator
implementations agree on authored canaries spanning useful-safe, useful-unsafe,
useless-safe, and useless-unsafe. The operating-range gate requires at least two
observed candidates per cell, at least 80% schema admission, at most 5%
evaluator disagreement, and five bounded effect probes. Validator-owned probes
exercise ten-surface exact restoration, an append-only residual, and omission
detection without real external effects. A one-shot local Qwen3-8B generation
closed all candidate bytes before rubric load. Fourteen of sixteen candidates
were schema-admissible; the two exclusions used out-of-vocabulary tokens. The
observed cells were 1 useful-safe, 0 useful-unsafe, 10 useless-safe, and 3
useless-unsafe, with zero evaluator disagreement. The outcome is terminal
`non_estimable_operating_range_repair_required`: the minimum two candidates per
cell was not met, no useful-unsafe candidate existed, and no held-out corpus,
precision target, minimum effect, or confirmatory denominator opens.

Four prospectively frozen repair identities followed without rescoring any
earlier output. V2 observed 4 useful-safe, 1 useful-unsafe, 2 useless-safe, and
8 useless-unsafe candidates among 15/16 admitted outputs. V3 preserved the
same consequence-equivalent scoring contract but exposed an over-conjunctive
structured-output completeness problem. V4 prospectively narrowed usefulness
to one material action plus one core residual and obtained the second
useful-unsafe observation, while preserving seven invalid `block` decision
classes as schema exclusions. V5 repaired only the enum instruction and
admitted 8/8 outputs. The pool rule was frozen before generation and passed at
32/40 admitted candidates, with cell counts 9/2/10/11, zero evaluator
disagreement, and 20 bounded effect probes. The pool authorizes a held-out
freeze, not a claim.

The fresh confirmatory design then fixed 16 held-out task families, one
identity-pinned local Qwen3-8B run, no retry, two evaluator implementations, six
matched policy arms, and six co-primary conditions. Task identities and exact
scenario/request pairs are disjoint from tuning; candidate bytes closed before
rubric load. Fifteen of sixteen outputs were admitted and evaluator disagreement
was zero. The simple and record-only policies released 0 useful and 0 unsafe
candidates; full governance released 9 useful and 0 unsafe candidates with no
useful-safe false refusals. Removing evidence freshness exposed one additional
useful-unsafe release. The residualized partial-recovery case remained blocked.
All frozen primary checks passed, yielding
`bounded_local_governance_effect_supported`.

M5 is therefore complete at bounded local synthetic scope. The result supports
only the proposition that this fixed governance policy improved useful release
over the candidate's self-release recommendation on one authored held-out
corpus and one quantized model, while its evidence-freshness gate prevented one
registered unsafe release. It does not establish transfer, deployment,
open-world safety, acceptable governance cost, independent external validity,
production rollback, SOTA, AGI, or ASI. Campaigns 2 and 3 remain P4 work; M6 is
the next milestone.

### Accepted source integration — The Reflexive Router v1.2

The complete Corben-authored paper `reflexive_router_whitepaper` was ingested on
2026-07-16 from the supplied Markdown and DOCX forms. The canonical local text
is SHA-256
`003a693741c40ca96ec3aece5b76ee90ec95a1d6c27ec81a970cff175f509068`;
the supplied DOCX presentation copy is SHA-256
`52bc04a1bfedaa0fe3a7e530570703bd973849f46b806529f2534509101ace9b`.
Both live in the ignored local raw-source cache. The tracked source note,
inventory record, backlog record, and triage decision are public-safe, but this
ingestion neither publishes the raw paper nor infers publication permission.

The paper passes the source-value test and fails the new-chapter test in its
current form. Its important contribution is an ordering and contract synthesis:
authenticated command handling before automatic routing; deterministic and
learned proposals before qualification; optimization only over qualified and
authorized computations; bounded semantic-operation DAGs; stable capability
contracts; a separate action-understanding and Effect Commit Kernel path; typed
result and bitemporal context continuity; and a governed trace-to-reflex
compiler. Those boundaries already belong to existing chapters. Creating a
paper-shaped chapter now would duplicate their authority rather than clarify
the stack.

The integration package therefore has one primary owner and eleven adjacent
owners:

| Owner | Required upgrade |
|---|---|
| `routing-heads-and-specialist-cores` | Own the pre-deliberative event-to-qualified-plan interface, including deterministic commands, bounded learned proposals, calibrated abstention/OOD, qualification before optimization, composite routing, and route/plan provenance. |
| `intent-to-execution-contracts` | Preserve authenticated user route constraints, canonical-event metadata, explicit fallback, and typed terminal outcomes without treating a command as new authority. |
| `planning-as-a-control-layer` | Own bounded execution-DAG construction, partial qualification, dependency and cancellation semantics, and escalation when decomposition is not safely bounded. |
| `stable-capability-fields` | Bind reflexes and commands to consumer-relative semantic capability contracts, compatible implementations, qualification leases, and dependency invalidation. |
| `virtual-context-abi`; `context-transactions-snapshots-mounts-and-taint` | Own typed result packets, hot routing projections, context handles, provenance-preserving projections, and invalidation rather than transcript reconstruction. |
| `claim-ledgers-and-belief-revision` | Crosswalk the Temporal Chronicle into separate event, state, claim, plan, prediction, and counterfactual records with valid time, transaction time, contradiction, correction, and epistemic state. |
| `runtime-adapters-tool-permissions-and-human-approval` | Enforce “bypass inference, never enforcement” through typed action proposals, consequence-aware prepare/commit, idempotency, observed postconditions, compensation, and audit. |
| `procedural-memory-and-cognitive-loop-closure` | Own trace eligibility, representation selection, negative-space guard synthesis, replay/differential tests, shadowing, signed promotion, drift, quarantine, rollback, and decompilation. |
| `resource-economics-and-token-budgets` | Treat minimum sufficient compute as selection over the qualified frontier with complete generation, routing, verification, monitoring, human, energy, latency, risk, and displaced-work costs. |
| `benchmark-ratchets-and-anti-goodhart-evidence` | Own the ReflexBench-derived instrument, complete baseline matrix, wrong-fast-path and verification-escape emphasis, metric validity, hidden holdouts, and anti-gaming controls. |
| `integrated-reference-architecture` | Join command/automatic ingress, route admission, capability/effect execution, typed result, Chronicle update, and compiler lifecycle without creating a routing super-owner. |

The P7 argument-only prose integration is complete. All twelve owners now carry
the source in the manifest, an owner-specific mechanism section, and a bounded
source crosswalk. The shared `Reflexive Dispatch Trace` schema and fixture join
canonical event intake, ingress mode, proposals, qualification, atomic or DAG
selection, effect custody, typed result continuity, Chronicle updates,
compilation state, and joint metrics. Its dedicated validator rejects eleven
selected inference/enforcement, proposal/admission, fallback, effect,
provenance, compilation, source-substitution, DAG, and support-laundering
mutations. This is finite record-shape work and changes no chapter support.

The remaining P7 obligation is result reconciliation after P4, not another
paper-shaped rewrite. The paper's external prior-work, novelty, security, and
performance statements still require current primary-source passage review.
Illustrative latency targets, launch gates, formulas, schemas, and worked
examples remain research specifications—not measurements.

A new `pre-deliberative-reflexive-control-plane` chapter may be reconsidered
only after the campaign below observes a stable interface, invariant, artifact,
or failure class that the named owners cannot express without authority
conflict or destructive duplication. Topic importance, paper length, and the
label `System-0` do not satisfy that gate.

### Campaign 2 — Reflexive routing, ambiguous dispatch, and real-model deliberation

- Construct a held-out workload whose ambiguity makes learned routing,
  rule-based routing, clarification, fallback, abstention, specialist, and
  generalist routes genuinely differ.
- Cover eight separately scored task tracks: atomic exact work, paraphrased
  routing, context-dependent reference, composite requests, temporal recall,
  authorized effects, adversarial routing, and trace-to-reflex compilation.
- Exercise four ingress modes over one capability fabric: unmarked automatic
  routing, a forced route, a direct typed capability command, and a compiled
  workflow. A forced route may fail or clarify but may not silently fall back;
  a direct command may bypass inference but may not bypass authorization,
  consequence policy, type validation, verification, audit, or revocation.
- Use actual model candidates and a separately implemented, label-isolated
  route evaluator, outcome evaluator, and effect observer with calibrated
  abstention and disclosed dependency/independence classes.
- Compare LLM-first, hard-rule-only, learned model router, semantic cache,
  LLM-first tool agent, modular tool system, full reflexive route, and oracle
  selection under matched model access, candidate bytes, information,
  authority, retry opportunity, verifier access, and total cost.
- Compare no deliberation, fixed deliberation, adaptive stopping, and
  verifier-gated stopping at matched total budgets.
- Preserve and actively test the fifteen known extra-compute harms.
- Add validator-owned controls for untrusted command text, literal escaping,
  ambiguous parameters, stale context, OOD inputs, contract rejection, cache
  collision, Chronicle poisoning, authority widening, partial effects,
  duplicate retries, verifier monoculture, premature compilation, drift,
  quarantine, rollback, and decompilation.
- Measure useful task outcome, fast-path and qualified coverage,
  wrong-fast-path rate, selective risk, route regret, calibration, OOD
  abstention, override fidelity, silent fallback, argument binding, DAG
  validity, context continuity, temporal accuracy, initial-correct corruption,
  recovery, interference, unauthorized effects, verification escape,
  postcondition coverage, rollback completeness, compilation transfer,
  latency, compute, energy where measurable, money, human work, monitoring,
  governance cost, residuals, and displaced work.
- Report Useful Reflex Efficiency only beside useful-outcome and
  wrong-fast-path denominators. A cheaper route, high coverage, zero release,
  or a structured packet cannot by itself establish correctness, safety, or
  value.
- Attempt compilation only after routing instrumentation is adequate. Require
  diverse verified traces, positive and negative boundary cases, static and
  dynamic checks, shadow results, signed promotion authority, drift injection,
  a safe canary, quarantine, rollback, and decompilation. Frequency or fluent
  unchallenged output is not eligibility evidence.
- Freeze exact retain, narrow, refute, deprecate, or promote criteria for each
  claimed mechanism. A coherent architecture diagram or passing schema is not
  a Reflexive Router result.

#### M6 terminal receipt — mixed bounded routing effect, no promotion

M6 completed on 2026-07-16 with an intact two-generation instrument lineage.
The original seven-object candidate schema failed sacrificially at 1/4
admissible outputs because three responses corrupted repeated role labels. A
prospectively frozen fixed-key repair then passed 4/4 before the held-out gate
opened. Neither instrument run counted as evidence.

The one-shot held-out run used the exact local
`mlx-community/Qwen3-8B-4bit` snapshot
`545dc4251c05440727734bcd94334791f6ab0192`, temperature zero, 32 model calls,
zero retries, and 1,148.660632 seconds of shared generation time. Candidate
bytes closed before the hidden route and answer labels loaded. All 32 candidates
were schema-admissible across eight separately scored tracks, four ingress
modes, and all seventeen named control classes. Two independently implemented
route scorers and two independently implemented outcome scorers had zero
disagreements; a separate temporary-filesystem observer retained effect and
rollback boundaries. Independence is internal implementation separation, not
external or organizational independence.

The eight matched routing arms produced this exact signature:

| Arm | Route-correct | Useful outcomes | Wrong fast path | Unsafe outputs |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| LLM-first | 6/32 | 9/32 | 18 | 0 |
| Hard-rule-only | 19/32 | 14/32 | 13 | 0 |
| Learned router | 12/32 | 14/32 | 11 | 0 |
| Semantic cache | 7/32 | 11/32 | 18 | 0 |
| LLM-first tool agent | 6/32 | 8/32 | 18 | 0 |
| Modular tool system | 19/32 | 13/32 | 13 | 0 |
| Full reflexive route | 31/32 | 21/32 | 1 | 2 |
| Oracle selection | 32/32 | 24/32 | 0 | 0 |

The full policy therefore created a real bounded routing effect but not a
Pareto improvement: its route correctness and useful outcomes increased
sharply while two unsafe outputs appeared against zero for LLM-first. Useful
Reflex Efficiency is reported only beside those denominators. Energy was not
measured; the zero marginal API charge excludes hardware, electricity, and
operator cost; displaced work was not estimable. No safe-router, general
usefulness, or acceptable-cost claim follows.

At a matched three-candidate budget, direct generation finished 12/32 correct.
Fixed deliberation finished 11/32, corrupting three initially correct answers
and repairing two initially incorrect ones. Adaptive stopping finished 12/32,
with one corruption and one repair. Verifier-gated stopping finished 12/32,
preserving all twelve initially correct answers but repairing none. All fifteen
historical correct-to-incorrect cases passed the stopping-policy regression;
their original prompts and traces remain unavailable, so they are not new model
evidence.

The terminal claim decision is `retain_and_narrow` with no promotion. The
bounded route-policy effect remains useful evidence for future corpus and
policy design, but the mixed safety frontier, authored workload, internal
evaluators, single quantized model, zero measured energy, no external
reproduction, and lack of transfer block chapter-core and non-core support
movement. The observed artifacts fit the existing Routing, Deliberation,
Runtime, Benchmark, and Resource owners; the distinct-interface gate for a new
pre-deliberative chapter did not pass. The validator rejects all seventeen
control-coverage mutations plus unsafe-tradeoff erasure, useful-outcome
inflation, fixed-harm erasure, denominator reopening, and transfer laundering.

### Campaign 3 — Full-state update and unlearning causality

- Use prospective checkpoint authority and an enumerated full-state surface
  before training.
- Compare no update, standard update, governed update, rollback, approximate
  unlearning, deletion-aware retraining, and relevant forgetting mitigations.
- Distinguish behavioral cohort change, causal influence reduction, membership
  or privacy change, lineage invalidation, and physical/logical storage erasure.
- Use retained-task, target-task, adversarial, privacy, and descendant checks;
  do not infer erasure from changed behavior.
- Record partial, late, remote, backup, and descendant effects that cannot be
  restored.

#### M7 terminal receipt — bounded axis separation, broad claim narrowed

M7 completed on 2026-07-16 with two preserved instrument failures and one
adequate terminal attempt. The first 860-record Qwen-representation/linear-head
run passed its original integrity checks but failed target validity: both
deletion cohorts collapsed to the rare `allow` class, terminal cohort markers
dominated the last-token representation, and every arm—including deletion-aware
retraining—scored zero true-label deletion accuracy. Its raw bytes,
checkpoints, nominal result, and separate diagnosis remain immutable; it is
`instrument_inadequate_unlearning_target_not_learnable`, not a claim result.

The balanced v2 repair used mean pooling and added a deletion-like preflight
floor. It never opened held-out outcomes: the frozen-representation linear head
reached `0.43333333` general and `0.33333333` deletion-like accuracy against
`0.60` floors. That failure is also retained.

The terminal v3 instrument reused the frozen balanced 870-record corpus and
the exact local `Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct` snapshot
`ea3f2471cf1b1f0db85067f1ef93848e38e88c25`. Qwen weights remained frozen. A
deterministic one-hot vector exposed the authority, provenance, contamination,
deletion, and risk fields already present in each record; an auditable
912×32×3 nonlinear fusion head was the only trainable component. The
sacrificial ablation scored Transformer-only at `0.76666665` general and
`0.69999999` deletion-like accuracy, versus `1.0`/`1.0` for structured-only
and fused paths. The fused instrument passed its frozen `0.80` floors without
changing the held-out denominator.

The one terminal held-out run compared no update, standard update, governed
update, regularized forgetting mitigation, sequential approximate unlearning,
deletion-aware retraining, and exact rollback across five seeds. It retained
best and final checkpoint authority, independent evaluation over closed bytes,
eight nonfungible claim axes, 24 declared state surfaces, local derived-store
deletion, late descendants, a local backup, and a simulated unreachable remote
replica. Deletion-aware retraining achieved mean true-label deletion accuracy
`0.97666667`, passing the target-adequacy gate. Approximate unlearning moved
only `0.01222040` closer in parameter distance to the retraining comparator
than standard update and changed direction-invariant membership-attack
advantage by `-0.02511111`. These are bounded probes; retraining does not prove
zero influence, and one attack does not prove privacy.

All 35 arm/seed transactions restored the 24 declared local surface digests to
prospective base authority. Five local descendants were invalidated and
quarantined. The declared operational shard and local backup were absent after
the request, while the immutable corpus, feature packet, checkpoints, and raw
research evidence remained retained. The simulated remote replica and external
descendant supplied no acknowledgement. Legal compliance was not evaluated.

The accepted terminal outcome is `claim_narrowed_after_full_attempt`, with
chapter-core support retained at `argument`. The receipt does not establish
language-model weight unlearning, zero causal influence, privacy, complete
storage or backup erasure, external descendant closure, legal compliance,
production rollback, transfer, SOTA, AGI, or ASI. M8 is now the active
milestone; Campaigns 4 through 6 and remaining claim-family work remain open.

### Campaign 4 — Residual honesty and verifier capacity

- Create tasks with known hidden defects, incomplete evidence, time pressure,
  token pressure, reward pressure, evaluator disagreement, and reopen triggers.
- Compare unconstrained generation, self-reporting prompts, structured residual
  ledgers, independent verification, and budget-aware escalation.
- Measure defect discovery, false reassurance, residual completeness,
  verification burden, unresolved-risk age, useful throughput, and pressure
  degradation.

#### Campaign 4 terminal receipt — full repair sequence, heldout sealed

Campaign 4 reached an honest terminal instrument disposition on 2026-07-16.
The earlier 24-call predecessor produced no usable final decisions. Three new
prospectively versioned repairs then used eighteen sacrificial tasks and 36
local `mlx-community/Qwen3-8B-4bit` calls with thinking disabled, zero retries,
zero network inference, and no external spend.

V1 repaired parseability but collapsed all five decisions to `block`; exact
remediation routing was 1/5 and the clean control was rejected. V2 made terminal
eligibility primary, and its unconstrained lane reached 6/6 eligibility with
3/3 clean releases, but a label-bearing governed-output exemplar caused the
structured lane to block all clean controls. Both failures remained
sacrificial and opened no heldout outcomes.

The terminal v3 instrument removed concrete output exemplars and separated the
decision call from residual extraction. It reached 6/6 terminal-eligibility
accuracy, 3/3 clean releases, perfect required-residual recall, exact empty
clean ledgers, and zero capacity-aware false reassurance. It nevertheless
failed the frozen extraction-interface gate: only 3/6 objects were admissible
against a 5/6 floor because every defect case emitted undeclared route `retain`
and omitted requested-check IDs. The terminal design prospectively prohibited
another repair. The fifteen held-out tasks and hidden labels therefore remained
sealed and no claim attempt was counted.

The terminal outcome is
`terminal_instrument_inadequate_extraction_contract`, with support effect
`blocks_promotion`. Favorable sacrificial values remain diagnostic only. No
residual-honesty, verifier-capacity, useful-throughput, pressure-robustness,
safety, transfer, deployment, SOTA, AGI, ASI, publication, release, or
chapter-core support claim follows. Campaign 4 is complete at this no-claim
boundary; Campaigns 5 and 6 plus remaining M8 claim-family work remain active.

### Campaign 5 — Situated world-model acquisition and memory consolidation

- Use at least one public-safe partially observable digital environment and one
  meaningfully different transfer environment. Require persistent object or
  artifact identity, hidden-state estimation, at least two live hypotheses,
  active information gathering, one controlled causal intervention, calibrated
  prediction, a distribution shift, bounded exploration authority, and replay.
- Store environment reference state, delivered observation, interpretation,
  latent hypothesis, prediction, prediction error, intervention, causal-model
  revision, belief transition, curriculum stage, and observed effect as
  distinct versioned artifacts. Reference state may score the experiment but
  may not leak into the agent input or be generalized beyond the environment.
- Compare a reactive/no-world-model baseline, retrieval or transcript memory,
  an ungoverned predictive model, and the governed world-model path under
  matched model, information, action, and total-compute budgets. Ablate active
  information gathering, intervention, observation–belief separation,
  uncertainty, consolidation, and quiescent stabilization individually.
- Test a staged curriculum without assuming human-child development: sensory or
  repository regularities, persistent entities, temporal/action consequences,
  causal interventions, symbolic bindings, abstraction, and self-model/version
  history are competency gates, not anthropomorphic claims.
- Consolidate episodes into candidate invariants, semantic beliefs, causal
  rules, and procedures while preserving supporting and contradicting episodes,
  failed cases, version lineage, and rollback. Measure detached abstractions,
  catastrophic or silent rewrite, exception loss, and continuity across model
  or memory replacement.
- Jointly measure hidden-state and object-identity accuracy, calibration,
  information gain, intervention-effect prediction, counterfactual error,
  planning utility, anomaly/shift detection, transfer, unsafe exploration,
  false certainty, latency, memory, compute, replay fidelity, and governance
  cost. Reconstruction or compression alone is not world-model usefulness.
- Adjudicate ownership after results. First strengthen the existing chapter
  owners. Activate a `developmental-world-models-and-situated-learning` or
  durable-memory chapter only if the distinct-interface test passes on observed
  artifacts and failures, not because the topic is important or historically
  evocative.

#### Campaign 5 terminal receipt — bounded finite effect promoted, no new chapter

Campaign 5 closed on 2026-07-16 with one bounded non-core promotion. The design
was frozen before any outcome: two meaningfully different authored partially
observable environments, five seeds, ten matched arms, 11,250 total episodes,
6,000 held-out episodes, six named ablations, exact artifact separation,
matched authority ceilings, an independent scorer, and no outcome-aware repair.
The validator recomputes the central result and rejects ten laundering
mutations.

The governed path reached hidden-state accuracy 0.7933 in the adaptive workshop
and 0.7967 in the service mesh, compared with 0.4500 and 0.4067 for the reactive
path. Unsafe-action rates were 0.1000 and 0.1133, compared with 0.2333 and
0.2733 for the ungoverned predictive arm. Task success was lower than that
ungoverned arm by 0.0233 and 0.0300 because uncertain cases escalated. All
integrity and both-environment baseline gates passed. Six of six preregistered
aggregate ablation signatures were directional, while active information was
honestly heterogeneous: -0.0067 accuracy in the workshop and +0.0367 in the
service mesh.

Identity binding, replay, and authority conformance were exact on the governed
held-out traces. Quiescent consolidation preserved support, contradiction, and
supersession lineage; governed serialized replacement and rollback were exact
in 10/10 environment/seed runs. Removing quiescence produced 34 and 44 silent
rewrites. Removing consolidation reduced accuracy by 0.0367 and 0.0700.
However, shift detection remained 0.1667 and 0.2200, intervention-effect
prediction remained 0.5999 and 0.6470, and neither authored simulator is an
open-world or neural-world-model test.

The accepted claim
`situated-world-model.finite-pomdp-governed-acquisition-and-consolidation`
moves from `argument` to `synthetic-test-backed`. The chapter-core promotion
count is zero. Existing chapters own every observed interface: Planning owns
belief, prediction, intervention, escalation, and shift residuals; Replaceable
Cognitive Substrates owns the typed architecture-neutral shell; Procedural
Memory owns quiescent consolidation, lineage, replacement, and rollback; and
Benchmark Ratchets owns the frozen causal decision. The distinct-interface gate
therefore rejects a new world-model or durable-memory chapter.

No neural world model, learned latent representation, natural-task planning,
open-world object permanence, general causal understanding, reliable anomaly
detection, simulator adequacy, sim-to-real transfer, deployment safety,
security, SOTA, AGI, ASI, publication, release, or chapter-core claim follows.
Campaign 5 is complete. Campaign 6 and the remaining M8 claim-family work are
now active.

### Accepted source integration — Kernel English Residual Compiler (KERC)

The complete Corben-authored paper `kernel_english_residual_compiler` was
ingested on 2026-07-16 from the supplied 3,750-line Markdown and DOCX forms.
The canonical local text is SHA-256
`f560c61196cb2a114475ebd455f8643536e78c82dbbf6ec8dd712d993f2b6519`;
the supplied DOCX presentation copy is SHA-256
`5cad30263bda29ac8f00e8c448253b90a38c87731127a46f5b22f097cf8f1796`.
Both remain in the ignored raw-source cache. The tracked source note, source
inventory entry, backlog record, and triage decision are public-safe; this
intake neither publishes the paper nor infers a completed implementation.

KERC passes the source-value test and does not yet pass the new-chapter test.
Its strongest contribution is a joined runtime and falsification program:
protect exact objects before correction; compile sense, scope, modality,
identity, ambiguity, and provenance into a small versioned Kernel IR; route
surface distinctions through interaction-global, segment, token-local, and
exact-object residuals; reason over a replaceable compact core; render through
a separate surface vocabulary; and recompile the answer under explicit
semantic and exact-object checks. The paper correctly preserves the central
conservation boundary: exact Kernel-plus-residual encoding relocates source
information rather than destroying it, so all claimed savings must charge the
compiler, core, renderer, verifier, residual codec, registries, object store,
migration, fallback, human work, and governance together.

Two current chapters jointly own the contribution. `cognitive-compilation-and-semantic-ir`
owns immutable source capture, protected spans, correction lattices,
sense-aware Kernel lowering, stable concept identity, open-world handles,
answer packets, and translation validation. `compact-generative-systems-and-residual-honesty`
owns entropy relocation, the hierarchical residual ledger, semantic/faithful/
lossless modes, exact fallback, reconstruction burden, and full-system cost.
Ten adjacent owners retain context materialization and transactions,
verification adequacy, fast rendering, substrate replacement, resource
economics, security, procedural macro promotion, benchmark validity, and
whole-stack integration. A paper-shaped chapter would duplicate these
authorities before evidence clarifies whether a separate learned-language
runtime actually exists.

A new `canonical-cognitive-languages-and-residual-runtime` chapter may be
reconsidered only after the campaign below observes all of the following: a
durable Kernel Packet ABI used by more than one compiler, core, or renderer; a
residual lifecycle with distinct authority and failure semantics; an artifact
or invariant that neither primary owner can express without conflict; and a
reader job that is not merely a repetition of cognitive compilation plus
residual honesty. Paper length, vocabulary novelty, a shorter token sequence,
or a coherent diagram does not satisfy this gate.

### Campaign 6 — Canonical cognitive language and hierarchical residual runtime

This is an M8 campaign after M6 routing/deliberation and M7 update/unlearning.
It may begin design work earlier, but its outcome denominator must not compete
with or modify the already frozen M6 run.

1. **Freeze the runtime, not just a dialect.** Version a minimal Kernel grammar,
   stable concept registry, runtime codebook, boundary-aware macro tokenizer,
   Kernel Packet schema, entity/concept table, exact-object store, four-level
   residual schema, source alignment, answer packet, compiler, renderer,
   verifier, state-hash, migration, fallback, and revocation contracts. Stable
   semantic identity must remain distinct from compact spelling, token ID,
   embedding, macro, and model checkpoint.
2. **Build three progressively honest slices.** Slice A tests protected objects,
   exact handles, and a shared terminology residual without a new core model.
   Slice B adds sense-aware compilation, semantic/faithful/lossless modes, and
   deterministic round-trip checks. Slice C trains or adapts at least one small
   core natively on Kernel packets and compares the complete dual-vocabulary
   system. Failure of a later slice must not erase a useful narrower result.
3. **Use a corpus designed to break canonicalization.** Include paraphrase and
   minimal semantic contrasts; negation, quantifiers, modality, attribution,
   and temporal scope; dialect and informal language; code-switching;
   misspellings versus valid names and terminology; rare and Unicode names;
   quantities, units, dates, quotations, code, URLs, and formulas; legal and
   safety-sensitive wording; long coherent interactions; topic changes;
   exact-form tasks; and adversarial residual, object, macro, and authority
   updates. Protect the held-out semantic labels from compiler, renderer,
   router, and selection policy.
4. **Compare the simplest alternatives as seriously as the ambitious system.**
   Baselines must include strong surface BPE/unigram, byte-level, dynamic
   chunking, learned text compression, controlled or simplified language,
   semantic IR/graph, copy-aware generation, and a deliberately simple entity-
   handle plus shared-glossary system. Where feasible, compare a standard
   surface-trained core, a Kernel-native core, a shared-trunk dual-head model,
   and oracle compilation. A complicated KERC system does not win if the simple
   handle/glossary baseline captures the value.
5. **Separate representation questions.** Score protected-object recall,
   correction abstention, sense and role accuracy, ambiguity retention,
   source-to-Kernel field coverage, bidirectional entailment, question
   preservation, exact-object fidelity, entity/number/unit/scope/modality/time/
   attribution/quotation preservation, render quality, and byte-exact recovery
   separately. A fluent round trip, high embedding similarity, or matching
   compiler/recompiler output is not semantic truth.
6. **Report the whole rate.** Measure Kernel tokens and encoded bits;
   interaction-global, segment, token-local, and exact-object residuals;
   registry, codebook, index, packet, checkpoint, delta, migration, codec, and
   model assumptions; source expansion; failure and fallback bytes; and both
   operational message rate and total-description assumptions. Exact mode must
   satisfy reconstruction; semantic and faithful modes must publish their loss
   contract and per-axis distortion.
7. **Report the whole cost.** Use equal-raw-byte, equal-training-FLOP, and equal
   end-to-end inference-budget views. Measure compiler, core, renderer,
   verifier, residual codec, retrieval, object expansion, retry, fallback,
   migration, monitoring, human adjudication, and governance latency; active
   and total parameters; FLOPs; KV cache; peak memory; throughput; money; and
   energy only where calibrated. Token count, core-only FLOPs, or asymptotic
   attention savings cannot stand in for useful total-system efficiency.
8. **Test interaction amortization causally.** Plot setup, delta, checkpoint,
   eviction, desynchronization, and recovery cost from the first turn through
   long interactions. Randomize repetition and topic coherence. Compare local
   tags, global defaults, learned promotion, no sharing, and oracle sharing.
   Report the observed break-even point and regimes where shared state loses.
9. **Ablate every claimed mechanism.** Remove protected-span-first ordering,
   correction uncertainty, sense-aware compilation, concept capsules, each
   residual level, exact objects, importance allocation, Kernel macro fusion,
   dual vocabularies, separate renderer, round-trip verification, state hashes,
   version migration, and macro promotion one at a time under matched budgets.
   Retain interactions among components where single-factor ablations would be
   misleading.
10. **Attack every new authority and state surface.** Test dialect erasure,
    identity collision, Unicode confusables, quote/object escape, code and URL
    injection, poisoned concept definitions, malicious residual deltas, cross-
    user or cross-project reuse, scope and expiry loss, stale state, missing
    checkpoints, version skew, downgrade, migration corruption, macro boundary
    crossing, authority widening, privacy deletion, verifier monoculture, and
    silent source fallback. No residual or macro update may become authority.
11. **Bind macro learning to governed procedural memory.** Repeated verified
    sequences or residuals may propose a dictionary entry, tokenizer macro,
    workflow, or learned procedure only after diverse positive and negative
    cases, typed expansion, shadow evaluation, signed promotion, drift tests,
    quarantine, rollback, decompilation, descendant invalidation, and migration
    checks. Frequency, compression, or fluent reuse is not eligibility.
12. **Freeze falsifiers and retain narrow wins.** KERC's broad efficiency claim
    fails if no realistic regime improves the matched quality–total-cost–
    fidelity frontier, semantic errors remain unacceptable, residual overhead
    consumes the savings, shared state never clears its management cost, or the
    simpler baseline matches it. A narrower result—such as exact handles,
    terminology locks, or interaction-shared residue helping while the full
    internal language fails—must be retained and integrated honestly.
13. **Require reproduction and transfer before broad claims.** Repeat across
    models, seeds, domains, interaction lengths, dialects, at least one
    meaningfully different language, and at least one separate implementation.
    General efficiency, fairness, security, or state-of-the-art claims remain
    blocked until the causal signature and break-even regime transfer.
14. **Reconcile chapter ownership after results.** Update the twelve existing
    owners first. Add a chapter only if the distinct-interface gate above
    passes on observed artifacts and failures. Every hypothesis ends as retain,
    narrow, refute, deprecate, promote at bounded scope, or blocked after full
    attempt; no structured packet, theoretical proposition, or green validator
    can substitute for that disposition.

### Campaign 6 terminal receipt — broad efficiency refuted, narrow mechanisms retained

Campaign 6 is complete. It prospectively froze 192 authored bilingual records
with 128 training, 32 ordinary held-out, and 32 adversarial held-out rows; five
seeds; eight baseline families; thirteen ablations; twenty state and authority
attacks; and the three promised exact-handle, round-trip, and Kernel-native-core
slices. The design and corpus were hash-bound before the single outcome run,
and no outcome-aware repair or retry occurred.

The broad claim failed its frozen falsifier. Kernel-native, surface, and simple-
handle linear cores all reached `0.500000` mean intent-plus-polarity accuracy;
the adversarial polarity class had no training examples. The compact Kernel
string averaged `32.625` bytes, but the complete packet averaged `714.0` bytes
against `73.25` bytes for the best simple total-description representation.
Energy was not calibrated. The accepted exact claim
`kerc.broad_matched_total_system_efficiency` therefore moves from `argument` to
`refuted` for this implementation and corpus, not for all possible KERC
systems.

Two narrow finite findings survive. All five protected objects were preserved
on each of 64 held-out records and lossless recovery was exact, while removing
protected-span capture reduced object recall to zero. One frozen repeated-term
curve crossed the simple shared-glossary byte break-even at two turns. Those
claims become bounded non-core `synthetic-test-backed` transitions. The
glossary curve excludes semantic failure, privacy, migration, model, monitoring,
and governance costs and cannot be described as end-to-end efficiency.

The negative boundaries remain part of the evidence. The finite rule policy
handled 19/20 attacks but allowed the quote/object escape; compiler and verifier
were jointly authored; the no-sense ablation was confounded by intent-bearing
URLs; residual storage duplicated top-level objects; the bilingual data were
templates; and no recurrent, SSM, search, or neural non-Transformer core ran.
The new-chapter gate failed. The twelve existing owners were strengthened, all
chapter cores remain `argument`, and no general semantic, independent-verifier,
security, multilingual-transfer, production-efficiency, energy, SOTA, AGI,
ASI, deployment, publication, or release claim follows. Remaining M8 work is
the CF-01 through CF-08 full-attempt coverage and per-atom disposition program,
which is discharged by the terminal audit below without discharging P5's
separate natural-work bundle gate.

### P4 completion gate

Each campaign has an informative preflight, immutable preregistration, justified
precision, strong-model selection, matched baselines, independent evaluator or
replayer implementation, adversarial controls, retained raw data, cost/latency
accounting, replication, an `instrument_adequate` protocol outcome, and an
accepted canonical claim outcome plus exact detailed disposition. A third
unchanged rerun of a diagnosed failed protocol is forbidden. An instrument-
inadequate run cannot satisfy this gate or the full-attempt requirement.

## P5 — Full claim-family evidence program

### Mandatory first terminal campaign batch

Before broad P5 expansion, exercise the proof constitution on exactly these
three deliberately bounded atoms:

1. `circle-calculus-and-proof-carrying-ai-contracts.mechanism.003` — build or
   verify a named formal target and retain command, environment, logs, failures,
   proof boundary, and compiled-declaration receipt rather than trusting a
   theorem label;
2. `system-boundaries-and-authority.invariant.001` — test that authority never
   expands silently, including incomparable dimensions and explicit grant
   controls; and
3. `capability-replacement-and-rollback.invariant.011` — keep artifact
   restoration, digest equality, service restart, behavioral recovery, privacy
   repair, and external compensation as separate rollback outcomes.

For each atom, freeze scope, consumer, baseline, negative controls, falsifier,
attempt budget, stopping rule, evidence lanes, promotion ceiling, residual
owner, and terminal record before outcome-bearing execution. The batch is
complete only when all three end as one of `promoted_at_bounded_scope`,
`retained_after_full_attempt`, `narrowed_after_full_attempt`,
`refuted_after_full_attempt`, `deprecated_after_full_attempt`, or
`blocked_after_full_attempt`. Three honest non-promotions satisfy this batch;
three adjacent green validators do not. No other P5 family may use the batch as
a substitute for its own campaign.

### Mandatory first batch terminal receipt — two bounded promotions, one narrowing

The exact three-atom batch is complete. A prospective single-shot audit froze
each atom's scope, falsifier, ceiling, retained inputs, and no-retry rule before
independently replaying its artifacts. The Circle named-target/receipt atom
moves to bounded `prototype-backed`; the finite no-silent-authority-expansion
atom moves to bounded `synthetic-test-backed`; and rollback-outcome separation
is `narrowed_after_full_attempt` at `argument` because service restart and
external compensation were not executed. The result rejects four laundering
mutations, creates zero chapter-core movement, and grants no deployment,
transfer, SOTA, AGI, ASI, publication, or release authority. The canonical
receipt is `docs/p5_mandatory_terminal_batch.md` and the result is
`experiments/p5_terminal_batch/results/result.json`.

This receipt opens the broader family sequence but does not discharge it.
CF-01 through CF-08 remain separately responsible for their unmatched
load-bearing atoms, strongest comparators, causal signatures, negative results,
costs, reproduction, transfer, and exact terminal dispositions.

### Repository-wide terminal-disposition audit — complete, proof gaps retained

The prospectively frozen CF-01 through CF-08 audit is complete over all 3,745
scoped atoms: 3,730 activation atoms plus the accepted 15-atom cognitive-
substrate addendum. The evaluator ran once after an input-digest preflight and
executed the PR registry, deep registry, and full Lean build. Its first result
inherited two obsolete `nonmaterial_context` labels; the validator rejected
them, the evaluator was not rerun, and a recorded conservative schema-only
repair changed those two labels to `blocked_after_full_attempt` while preserving
their missing normative lane and original-result digest.

The terminal distribution is 3,698 `blocked_after_full_attempt`, 36
`retained_after_full_attempt`, nine `narrowed_after_full_attempt`, and two
`promoted_at_bounded_scope`. The two bounded promotions only preserve the
already accepted finite authority and Circle receipt transitions. They create
zero chapter-core movement. Every block names at least one missing formal,
executable, empirical, causal, transfer, source-synthesis, or normative lane;
2,068 atoms lack normative plus transfer treatment and 1,299 lack all six
formal/executable/empirical/causal/normative/transfer lanes. The result is
therefore a precise residual proof ledger, not proof by coverage.

The readable receipt is `docs/claim_family_terminal_coverage.md`; the machine
result is `experiments/claim_family_terminal_coverage/results/result.json`.
Four laundering mutations reject and publication/release authority remains
`none`. This closes M8's per-atom disposition subtask but does **not** close M8
or P5:
each family still needs at least one competent end-to-end or natural-work
bundle with relevant negative controls under the completion gate below.

### Family natural-work and end-to-end bundle gate — complete

The missing family-level breadth gate is now bound to eight existing bundles,
one per CF-01 through CF-08. Each selected result has an exact digest, an
independently registered rejecting validator that is replayed by the coverage
audit, relevant negative controls, and an explicit scope ceiling. The bundles
are governed usefulness, safety-critical lifecycle, intent-to-execution,
situated-world-model acquisition and consolidation, ambiguous routing and
deliberation, KERC compilation and residuals, update/unlearning causality, and
integrated governed lifecycle replay.

The receipt is `docs/claim_family_bundle_coverage.md` and the binding result is
`experiments/claim_family_bundle_coverage/result.json`. Five audit mutations
reject family deletion, validator erasure, digest rewriting, invented chapter-
core promotion, and blocked-gap erasure. The audit preserves all 3,698 blocked
atom gaps and creates no new support transition. It satisfies the P5 minimum
breadth gate without claiming that one bundle proves every atom in its family.

The machine status binds every chapter to exactly one primary family so breadth
cannot disappear behind the five flagship campaigns.

For the accepted CF-06 cognitive-substrate expansion, the minimum full attempt
is not an architecture leaderboard. It requires:

1. at least three genuinely different kernels behind the same typed ABI,
   including a strong Transformer, a stateful recurrent/SSM arm, and a non-token-
   native or exact-search/controller arm;
2. preregistered equal-active-parameter and equal-total-lifecycle-cost views,
   plus wall time, memory, energy where measurable, retrieval, search,
   verification, adaptation, routing, migration, maintenance, recovery, and
   assistance accounting;
3. natural tasks beside copying, state tracking, associative recall, distractor,
   size/depth/topology extrapolation, continual drift, exact execution, and
   hardware-sensitive workloads;
4. single-kernel, routed, hybrid, oracle-router, random-router, and strong-
   generalist controls with exact contribution receipts; when a model contains
   internal expert routing, keep token-to-expert and task-to-kernel candidate
   sets, costs, failures, and ablations separate;
5. a topology-complete capability card and matched component ablations for
   hybrid attention candidates: local window, global cadence, positional
   mechanism, query/KV topology, convolutional paths, expert topology and dense
   exceptions, active and total parameters, modality tokenization/frontends,
   configured/served/tested context, numerics, hardware, auxiliary prediction
   blocks, effort actuator, and mutable state. Keep fixed layer composition,
   learned internal expert routing, caller-selected effort, and stack-level
   kernel routing as four separately observed control planes. Inkling is the
   current primary case: its released configuration records 55 local and 11
   global layers, different local/global KV-head counts, one dense-MLP exception,
   and an eight-layer MTP block whose released serving role is undocumented.
   Preregister component and interaction ablations; do not infer MTP use or
   speedup from configuration presence. If the reported 600 GB NVFP4 or 2 TB
   BF16 minimum blocks direct replay, record that blocker and label any smaller
   mechanism-matched proxy as a proxy, not an Inkling reproduction;
6. fixed recurrent-state, growing-cache, sparse-slot, exact-memory, and
   attention controls that distinguish computation from addressable memory;
7. for OneCell/TRM-class arms, canonical single-pass, matched sampling/voting,
   blank/random/unseen identity, marginal-utility-by-recursion-step, learned-
   stopping, and progressive mechanism-ablation views;
8. a frozen-core ratchet against no-library, random-library, retrieval-only,
   growing-core, and oracle-library controls, with contamination, false
   activation, maintenance, rollback, and transfer audits; and
9. one governed architecture lifecycle through proposal, independent
   evaluation, shadow, canary, promotion denial or admission, effect-complete
   rollback, retirement, and descendant invalidation without self-approval.
   Include an Inkling-style model-authored fine-tuning trace as a boundary case:
   preserve the user-supplied objective, external training service, generated
   data and scorer, base and candidate checkpoints, independent regression
   evaluator, supervisor-mediated switch, rollback exercise, descendant
   invalidation, and unchanged-versus-changed architecture disposition so a
   narrow successful fine-tune cannot be laundered into architectural RSI.

### P5 completion gate

Every chapter's material atoms have received their required formal, executable,
empirical, causal, transfer, source-synthesis, or normative treatment. Each
family has at least one end-to-end or natural-work bundle and relevant negative
controls. “Not applicable” is allowed only with a typed rationale. No chapter
is considered attempted solely because an adjacent family campaign ran.

## P6 — External reproduction and SOTA challenge

### Non-negotiable entry gate

No P6 outcome-bearing run may begin until (a) every tested superiority or
Pareto statement resolves to exact registered claim atoms, (b) the dated
comparator ledger freezes baseline name, version, weights, code, dataset and
split, hardware, budget, metric, uncertainty method, and comparison date, (c)
the reproduction acceptance range is fixed before seeing the ASI Stack arm,
and (d) the OneCell or other author-origin candidate has a signed defeat
prediction naming the conditions under which it loses cleanly. If the strongest
baseline cannot be reproduced, the result is a reproduction blocker or a
weaker-comparator study—not a SOTA challenge.

### Comparator discipline

1. Refresh the primary-literature and official-implementation scan within 30
   days before each flagship freeze and again before any SOTA wording ships.
2. Record the strongest relevant baseline, not merely the easiest reproducible
   baseline. If the strongest is inaccessible, distinguish reproduction from
   reimplementation and record the access blocker.
3. Prefer official code, weights, datasets, splits, and evaluation scripts;
   digest or version every mutable dependency.
4. Reproduce the baseline result or establish a documented implementation
   agreement range before comparing the ASI Stack mechanism.
5. Match information access, model capability, tool access, context, total
   compute/calls, latency accounting, and evaluator exposure where the claim
   requires fairness.
6. Run contamination, leakage, memorization, prompt sensitivity, evaluator
   bias, and hardware sensitivity checks.
7. Report uncertainty, effect sizes, per-task distributions, failure classes,
   and Pareto fronts rather than a single aggregate score.
8. Replicate claimed transfer on a different workload and model family. The
   second implementation/evaluator remains internal unless outside work is
   actually obtained; no external-human review is implied.
9. For the replaceable-cognitive-substrates chapter, maintain a dated primary-
   source taxonomy spanning dense attention; selective state spaces including
   Mamba-3 plus adversarial cloud-versus-edge hardware measurements;
   retention/linear recurrence; long convolution; modern gated and
   shared-depth recurrence; test-time learned memory; differentiable external
   memory; continuous-time dynamics; KANs plus matched critical comparisons;
   graph/relational processors; program/library learning; and hybrids,
   including current local/global-attention-plus-MoE systems such as Inkling.
   For hybrid systems, freeze an effort-quality-cost curve and component-credit
   ablations rather than comparing only a provider's maximum-effort point. A survey
   can locate papers but cannot substitute for primary-paper and official-
   implementation review.
10. Implement at least a strong Transformer baseline, a recurrent/state-space
    baseline, and a genuinely different non-token-native or exact-search lane
    behind one Cognitive Kernel ABI. Compare equal-active-parameter and equal-
    total-cost views fixed before outcomes, with exact assistance, search,
    memory, verifier, adapter, kernel, hardware, migration, and governance
    accounting.
11. Treat OneCell's frozen-core ratchet and architectural-RSI lifecycle as
    refutable campaigns: gains fail if they depend on a large hidden adapter,
    privileged retrieval, answer-producing tools, benchmark-authored skills,
    unreported search, self-evaluation, or costs exported outside the chosen
    denominator.

The comparison matrix must consider every axis that the scoped claim invokes:
task quality, useful completion and release, unsafe release, false refusal,
calibration/selective risk, robustness, adversarial resilience, privacy and
security effects, latency, throughput, token/compute cost, memory, energy or a
declared energy proxy, data efficiency, operator and reviewer burden,
governance tax, rollback completeness and recovery time, audit/replay
faithfulness, residual discovery and aging, reproducibility, and transfer. An
axis may be marked not applicable only with a claim-specific rationale. No
method is called globally superior because it wins one dimension while hiding
regressions elsewhere.

### Allowed SOTA dispositions

- `exact_dominance_supported`: preregistered superiority on every named
  required axis for the exact comparison;
- `pareto_frontier_supported`: no dominated trade-off and a preregistered
  meaningful gain on at least one named axis;
- `competitive_not_superior`: within the declared equivalence or uncertainty
  range without a superiority result;
- `no_change`: estimable result that does not move the claim;
- `refuted`: the exact superiority or mechanism claim failed its frozen gates;
- `blocked_after_full_attempt`: reproduction or comparison cannot be completed
  under the full-attempt rule.

No book-wide or architecture-wide “beyond state of the art” claim is permitted
from one benchmark. Each claim must name its exact comparator envelope.

The dated refresh must bind the exact primary-paper revision, official code or
model-card revision, retrieval date, relevant topology or mechanism claims,
reported evaluation limits, and the exact chapter atoms it changes. Do not add
a source merely because it is recent; add or refresh it when it changes prior
art, the strongest comparator, an ablation, a falsifier, or an acceptance gate.
Provider-reported results remain source-grounded claims until independently
reproduced.

### P6 terminal receipt — strongest comparators honestly blocked

The 2026-07-16 primary/official refresh froze five comparator records and seven
exact cognitive-substrate atoms before any outcome-bearing ASI Stack run. It
also froze a digest-bound OneCell defeat prediction. The scan displaced Mamba-3
as the latest claimed recurrent frontier for the scoped envelope: Gated
DeltaNet-2 reports stronger aggregate results than the compared Mamba-family
variants on its 1.3B/100B-token language, commonsense, retrieval, and RULER
setup. This is a source-reported claim that P7 must add to the chapter and
Appendix H, not a local reproduction.

The full attempt cannot form the frozen tournament. Inkling requires at least
600 GB aggregate VRAM in NVFP4 or 2 TB in BF16; the official Mamba-3 path is
Linux/NVIDIA/CUDA-oriented and lacks a frozen end-to-end Mamba-3 language-model
checkpoint for the paper result; the archived TRM repository documents a 48 GB
L40S as the smallest training route and no release checkpoint; and OneCell has
no runnable candidate. The available host has 16 GB unified Apple M1 memory and
no CUDA. DreamCoder alone would be a weaker isolated proxy, not the common-ABI,
matched-assistance, equal-total-lifecycle-cost comparison.

All seven atoms therefore end `blocked_after_full_attempt`. There were zero
outcome-bearing comparisons, zero external reproductions, zero SOTA-supported
dispositions, and zero chapter-core promotions. No null, competitive, refuted,
Pareto, or dominance result is inferred. The canonical receipt is
`docs/p6_external_reproduction_and_sota_challenge.md`; six laundering mutations
reject. Publication and release authority remain `none`.

## P7 — Book-wide evidence integration

For every chapter:

- reconcile the core claim and subordinate atoms with the actual dispositions;
- improve the existing chapter before considering structural expansion;
- add a compact evidence packet explaining protocol, baseline, result,
  uncertainty, counterevidence, transfer, limitations, and reproduction path;
- include at least one worked success, failure, and boundary case where the
  mechanism is executable;
- distinguish formal proof, executable conformance, controlled measurement,
  causal evidence, source grounding, and normative reasoning in plain language;
- update the Source crosswalk, Codex tests, Formalization hooks, Minimum Viable
  Implementation, Beyond the State of the Art, failure modes, and Handoff;
- rewrite or remove claims contradicted by results rather than leaving the
  refutation only in a ledger;
- preserve raw negative and null results in the evidence registry;
- update Appendix C, Appendix E, Appendix H, Appendix K, the core and non-core
  ledgers, proof adequacy, evidence-quality vectors, novelty positioning, and
  changelog; and
- add a bounded pre-1995 intellectual-lineage map only from inspected primary or
  authoritative historical sources, routing computation, cybernetics,
  information/compression, uncertainty, memory, situated learning, specialist
  societies, formal limits, recursive improvement, and objective-failure
  thought experiments to current chapter owners. Treat convergence as history,
  not proof that ancient or religious works encoded the ASI Stack; and
- regenerate the reader projection so readers get the actual result and not
  only live/research scaffolding.

For the Reflexive Router source package, P7 must update the twelve named
existing owners as one coordinated edit rather than duplicating the paper in
each chapter. Routing owns the pre-deliberative decision; command contracts own
user dispatch intent; Planning owns bounded DAGs; Stable Capability Fields own
substitution; context and claim ledgers own typed and temporal continuity;
runtime adapters own effects; procedural memory owns compilation; Resource
Economics and Benchmark Ratchets own measurement; and Integrated Architecture
owns the joined trace. Every source mapping must name exact passages and a
non-claim. No prose may report the paper's proposed metrics, launch gates,
schemas, algorithms, or examples as implemented or measured. The package may
create a new chapter only through the observed distinct-interface gate recorded
under P4 Campaign 2.

For the accepted new cognitive-substrate chapter, steps 1–4 of the seven-step
structural sequence are complete; P2/P5/P6 must finish steps 5–7 before P7 can
reconcile all 55 live chapters. The chapter must include: a plain-language architecture taxonomy; a
Cognitive Kernel ABI; reflex/reaction/deliberation and specialist-route
crosswalk; exact–latent boundary; state/checkpoint/migration contract; matched
architecture comparison table; OneCell worked candidate; at least one rejected
candidate or negative result; frozen-core ratchet results; architectural-RSI
governance; total KISS cost accounting; runnable conformance example; and exact
handoffs to Routing, Readiness, Replacement, Fast Generation, Deliberation,
Recurrence, Self-Improvement, Integrated Architecture, and Theseus.

The chapter dossier must also include an argument-exit table. Every
load-bearing atom names the next support state attempted, the work performed,
and why the result promoted, retained, narrowed, refuted, deprecated, or
blocked the claim. A chapter fails P7 if its core remains at `argument` only
because adjacent evidence was never brought to bear or a full attempt was never
made. The objective is not a promotion quota: a well-supported refutation or an
honestly retained argument after a competent failed promotion attempt is a
better result than evidence laundering.

A new chapter is warranted only if the evidence reveals a durable interface,
invariant, artifact, failure mode, and evidence program with no current owner.
Topic importance or source volume alone is insufficient. The replaceable-
cognitive-substrates intake is the one accepted case: it owns the Cognitive
Kernel ABI, exact substrate-swap artifacts, architecture-specific failure modes,
and matched kernel-tournament program that no activation chapter owns.

### P7 completion gate

All 55 chapters, after the accepted structural insertion, pass a claim-to-
evidence semantic review; no live prose exceeds
its strongest accepted disposition; every important result is reproducible or
has an exact blocker; all refutations/narrowings change the owning prose; and
the narrative remains coherent and useful even where the original hypothesis
failed.

### P7 terminal receipt — complete reconciliation without claim laundering

The canonical reconciliation is `docs/p7_book_evidence_reconciliation.md`,
bound to `experiments/p7_book_evidence_reconciliation/result.json` and enforced
by `scripts/validate_p7_book_evidence_reconciliation.py`. All 55 chapters now
contain exactly one concise reader-facing conclusion, one separate exact
evidence packet, one worked success/failure/boundary set, and one argument-exit
table derived from the terminal 3,745-atom program. Appendix C, Appendix E,
Appendix F, Appendix H, and Appendix K are digest-bound to the record. The
reader projection replays, the complete 68-document HTML render passes, and five
invalid reconciliation mutations reject.

This is reconciliation, not proof by formatting. It preserves 3,698
`blocked_after_full_attempt` atoms, 36 retained atoms, nine narrowed atoms, two
bounded subordinate promotions, and all 55 chapter cores at `argument`. Gated
DeltaNet-2 is integrated only as a dated source-reported comparator; the P6
seven-atom external reproduction result remains wholly blocked. There are zero
chapter-core promotions and no new SOTA, deployment, publication, release, AGI,
or ASI claim. Publication and release authority remain `none`.

## P8 — Reader release and terminal evidence freeze

1. Freeze an evidence-reconciled 55-chapter reader source after the accepted
   cognitive-substrate insertion and its full claim/evidence review.
2. Preserve the approved exact local HTML and DOCX histories.
3. Reattempt EPUB in a real local EPUB application and PDF in a real local PDF
   viewer. If native automation remains unavailable, use an exact author-run
   application-inspection record with artifact digest, application/version,
   checklist, screenshots, observed failures, and explicit non-claims. Do not
   infer application behavior from package validation.
4. Keep accessibility, screen-reader, WCAG, device, and Microsoft-application
   claims separate. Record only checks that actually ran.
5. Make independent decisions for living-book release, public reader release,
   each format, DOI/archive, rights, and deployment. Activity does not force a
   version increment.
6. Run the registry, Lean, Quarto, full browser, release, rights, secret,
   artifact-digest, reproducibility, and deployed-attestation gates over the
   exact source commit and tested artifact.
7. Write an evidence-freeze declaration and exact release, no-release, or
   blocked records that reconcile every product and claim state. This freeze is
   the input to P9 and is not roadmap closure.
8. Programmatically build and inspect every locally feasible format before
   assigning an application blocker. Local completion may end in
   `ready_not_published`; no push, tag, deployment, DOI/archive deposit, or
   external publication is authorized by this roadmap or by a reviewer's
   recommendation.

### P8 terminal receipt — exact local freeze, no public release

P8 is complete at `docs/p8_reader_evidence_freeze_and_release_disposition.md`.
The immutable local v2.2 freeze contains all 55 evidence-reconciled reader
chapters and four digest-bound format attempts. The 60-page HTML artifact passes
120 desktop/mobile browser, accessibility-tree, keyboard, and WCAG-preparation
page-view pairs with zero reported failures and is the only approved exact local
format. EPUB passes structural inspection and a bounded Apple Books import,
open, text-exposure, and navigation check, but is not device, screen-reader, or
release approved. DOCX is structurally valid and all 726 rendered pages were
covered by visual contact-sheet review; its page-6 figure break remains an exact
layout residual and Microsoft Word was not claimed. PDF parses as 912 untagged
pages but fails release: the raster audit flags 72 outer-edge pages, and direct
review confirms page-48 clipping and page-50 right-edge overflow. Preview
automation timed out, but those visual defects independently reject the PDF.

The validator binds all source, artifact, and evidence-report digests and rejects
seven mutations. The terminal decision is
`evidence_freeze_ready_not_published_multiformat_release_not_approved`: there was
no commit, push, tag, deployment, DOI/archive deposit, public release, license
grant, external publication, or claim-support movement. This exact freeze is
the input to P9.

## P9 — Maintained X Article synopsis and 5:2 header

P9 runs only after P7 evidence reconciliation and the P8 reader/release freeze,
so its public summary cannot be written around obsolete arguments. The durable
contract is `docs/x_article_synopsis_contract.md`; the canonical future
artifacts are `editions/x_article/asi_stack_synopsis.md`,
`editions/x_article/manifest.json`,
`editions/x_article/asi_stack_synopsis_header.png`, and
`editions/x_article/header_provenance.json`.

### Article content and evidence requirements

1. Put the canonical live-book URL
   `https://corbensorenson.github.io/asi-stack-book/` as the first visible body
   line after the X-native title. Verify the link in X's published preview; do
   not substitute a repository, shortener, or stale version URL.
2. Keep the complete visible article—including title, body, headings, captions,
   and footnotes—at **9,999 words or fewer**. Target 7,500–9,250 words so later
   corrections have room. The platform's current live composer is a second,
   change-sensitive gate; the repository limit remains binding even if X later
   allows more.
3. Treat the article as a synopsis, not a second book. State the stack thesis,
   architecture, most decision-relevant mechanisms, strongest established
   results, strongest negative/null results, proof boundaries, implementation
   path, and open research residuals. Link readers to the book for full
   protocols, sources, proofs, ledgers, and updates.
4. Build a machine-readable crosswalk from every substantive article claim to
   its chapter atom, support state, evidence lane, result/proof artifact, and
   exact book anchor. The article may compress wording but may not raise scope,
   certainty, independence, transfer, or SOTA status.
5. Put evidence immediately after consequential claims. Distinguish checked
   formal results, executable conformance, controlled measurements, causal
   evidence, reproduction/transfer, literature synthesis, and design argument
   in reader language. Include decisive failures; do not make the synopsis a
   victory-only narrative.
6. Edit ruthlessly: remove repeated definitions, roadmap mechanics, theorem and
   validator counts without semantic consequence, throat-clearing, hype,
   duplicate examples, and any detail that belongs behind a book link. A
   paragraph survives only if it changes understanding, evidence calibration,
   implementation choice, or next action.
7. Validate mobile skimmability with short paragraphs, meaningful subheads,
   accessible link text, and a heading hierarchy that survives X paste/import.
   Preserve a canonical Markdown source and record any X-specific formatting
   delta rather than editing only in the composer.

### Header-image contract

- Create one final **2000×800 pixel** RGB header image: exact 5:2 aspect ratio,
  PNG primary, with a tested JPEG fallback only if the live composer requires
  it. No stretch, letterbox, or silent crop is allowed.
- The image must communicate the governed-stack thesis at small size, fit the
  book's visual language, avoid photorealistic authority theater and unsupported
  “superintelligence achieved” implications, and remain legible in light and
  dark surrounding UI.
- Keep essential symbols and any text inside a center safe region, inspect the
  actual desktop and mobile X previews for cropping, and revise the source image
  when either preview hides meaning. If X applies a different crop, the 5:2
  master remains canonical and any platform derivative is recorded by digest.
- Store prompt/design brief, generation or source provenance, tool/version,
  rights/publication status, dimensions, color mode, file size, SHA-256, and
  alt text in `header_provenance.json`. Alt text describes the image rather
  than repeating the title.

### Maintenance, publication, and closure

- Compute the article manifest from the canonical article and header plus the
  book structure, claim-atom registry, core evidence vectors, release identity,
  source inventory, and chapter/result anchors it summarizes.
- Mark the derivative stale whenever a public release changes; a summarized
  chapter or core claim is added, removed, renamed, narrowed, promoted,
  deprecated, or refuted; a decisive result or source changes; the live-book
  URL changes; or X changes its Article/import/media behavior. Each public book
  release must either refresh and revalidate the derivative or carry an exact
  `not_refreshed` disposition explaining why it must not be represented as
  current.
- At execution time, re-check X's official Article and image-description help,
  then run a real composer preview for link, length, formatting, image upload,
  crop, alt text, and audience. X currently documents Articles as a Premium-
  tier publishing surface with links, rich formatting, media, header images,
  edit/unpublish behavior, and audience controls; it does not publish a stable
  Article-body or 5:2 pixel limit on the cited help page. Therefore the live
  composer, not memory, decides platform compatibility.
- Creating repository artifacts does not authorize an external post. Publish
  the X Article only after Corben explicitly authorizes that external mutation.
  Record the final X URL, timestamp, audience, source/header digests, and
  preview receipt if posted; otherwise record `ready_not_published` or the exact
  blocker. The roadmap can complete with `ready_not_published` because author
  posting authority is separate from artifact quality.
- After the article disposition is exact, activate the next unfinished-work
  roadmap in the same transaction. If no immediate experiment or publication
  campaign remains, activate a maintenance and evidence-renewal roadmap that
  includes the synopsis staleness triggers. Zero active successors is invalid.

### P9 completion gate

The canonical synopsis is evidence-faithful, at most 9,999 words, opens with
the exact live-book link, passes claim-crosswalk and stale-input validation,
and survives a current X composer preview. The exact-ratio 2000×800 header,
alt text, provenance, rights state, previews, and digests pass. Publication is
either explicitly authorized and receipted or exactly `ready_not_published`.
All terminal records agree and one exact successor is active.

### P9 and M13 terminal receipt — maintained synopsis ready, not published

P9 is complete at `docs/x_article_synopsis_completion.md`. The canonical
synopsis contains 5,222 visible words, begins with the exact live-book URL, and
maps 24 substantive claim markers through
`editions/x_article/claim_crosswalk.json`. It states the strongest negative and
blocked results and does not promote any chapter-core claim. Its exact
2000×800 RGB PNG header, provenance, and canonical alt text are retained.

The current signed-in X Article composer accepted the full body and exact top
link, reported 5,196 words, accepted the header, and passed desktop and 390×844
mobile previews. Draft `2077875347220041728` remains unpublished. The platform
did not expose an Article-header image-description control, and plain-text
import did not preserve Markdown heading/emphasis semantics; both limitations
remain explicit rather than being laundered into an accessibility or rich-text
pass. Audience controls were not opened because publication was not authorized.

The terminal disposition is
`ready_not_published_unpublished_x_draft_exists`. No publish control was
activated, no public Article URL exists, and no commit, push, tag, deployment,
archive deposit, license change, public living-book release, or support-state
movement occurred. The package validator rejects eight mutations. M13 is
complete because the no-publication record is exact and
`docs/post_v2_3_maintenance_transfer_and_publication_roadmap.md` is active at
P0/M0 with its own machine status, schema, validator, and public pointers.

## Milestones

| Milestone | State | Completion condition |
|---|---|---|
| M0 — Successor activation | completed | Roadmap, status, schema, validator, public pointers, continuity rule, and negative controls are installed. |
| M1 — Claim-atom coverage | completed | All 3,730 activation structured atoms are semantically reviewed, all 2,716 current activation prose candidates are dispositioned, all 54 activation chapter sweeps have zero unowned material claims, and the authorized 55th chapter adds 15 semantically reviewed atoms in a preserved addendum; prose identity changes retain lineage and no support state changed. |
| M2 — Measurement and reproduction foundation | completed | A 24-task three-slice corpus, exact 6/6/12 partitions, isolated held-out labels, three model roles, inference/evaluator/statistics/environment/safety/artifact contracts, and a 10-case sacrificial preflight pass under a six-mutation validator. No outcome-bearing model evidence or support follows. |
| M3 — Proof rationalization and formal semantic depth | completed | All 1,151 baseline declarations and 298 baseline targets have claim-centered dispositions; 300 baseline declarations and 185 baseline targets are absent or changed through preserved-lineage retirement/replacement; all 298 activation-era targets remain adequacy-routed, while the current manifest is tracked separately; nine required semantic models have dossiers and independent consumers; and the closure validator rejects six forms of false completion. Downstream live-schema, effect, review-quality, empirical, reproduction, and transfer work remains mandatory under P3–P7 and is not claimed as M3 evidence. |
| M4 — Integrated executable slices | completed | One versioned interface replays retained real model and checkpoint outputs across 12 cases and all 10 lifecycle states, performs six independently observed local effects with exact/residual/quarantine accounting, contains 20/20 named boundary injections, preserves one observation–interpretation–belief trace through an 11-surface sealed quiescent epoch, corrects two historical instrument-failure lineages, and rejects 11 mutations without support movement. |
| M5 — Governance/usefulness campaign | completed | Informative-regime matched campaign is adjudicated without zero-release or floor laundering; bounded local support is reconciled without transfer or chapter-core promotion. |
| M6 — Routing/deliberation campaign | completed | A prospectively repaired 32-task held-out real-model campaign covers eight tracks, four ingress modes, eight routing arms, four stopping arms, seventeen active controls, and fifteen preserved harms; it records a mixed bounded routing effect with two unsafe full-policy outputs and accepts no support promotion. |
| M7 — Update/unlearning campaign | completed | Two instrument failures and one adequate five-seed/seven-arm terminal run are preserved; behavior, comparator influence, membership attack, lineage, legal, storage, backup, and external-descendant axes are separately adjudicated, the broad claim is narrowed, and no core support is promoted. |
| M8 — Remaining claim-family campaigns | completed | Residual/verifier-capacity, situated-world-model/consolidation, and KERC canonical-language/hierarchical-residual campaigns are adjudicated; CF-01 through CF-08 have full-attempt coverage and exact per-atom dispositions; and every family has at least one competent end-to-end or natural-work bundle with relevant negative controls. All 3,698 residual atom gaps remain visible. |
| M9 — External reproduction/SOTA challenge | completed | Strongest baselines are reproduced or honestly blocked; exact superiority/Pareto dispositions are recorded. The exact result is seven `blocked_after_full_attempt` atoms, zero reproductions, and no SOTA support. |
| M10 — Book and evidence reconciliation | completed | All 55 chapters after the accepted cognitive-substrate insertion and all evidence/proof/source appendices match results and counterevidence. |
| M11 — Reader and release disposition | completed | HTML, DOCX, EPUB, PDF, accessibility, rights, and public-release decisions are exact and artifact-bound. |
| M12 — X Article synopsis and header | completed | The proof-led synopsis, top live-book link, claim crosswalk, exact 2000×800 header, provenance, alt text, and current-composer preview all pass with exact platform residuals retained. |
| M13 — Terminal closure plus successor | completed | The Article is exactly ready-not-published, all work is terminally adjudicated, release truth is reconciled, and the maintenance/transfer/publication successor is active in the same transaction. |

## Definition of done

This roadmap is complete only when all of the following are true:

- P0–P9 and M0–M13 are terminal under their stated gates;
- every material claim has an owned atom and one of: accepted support at the
  appropriate scope, retained current state, narrowed, refuted, deprecated, or
  `blocked_after_full_attempt`;
- all flagship and family campaigns received competent, informative attempts;
- formal results name their model and assumptions, empirical results report
  uncertainty and scope, and normative claims expose premises and authority;
- no theorem count, schema pass, fixture count, citation count, source count,
  validation count, format count, commit count, or release number is used as a
  proxy for semantic proof or empirical success;
- all 1,151 activation-baseline theorem declarations and 298 proof targets have
  claim-centered dispositions, every retained theorem has a semantic,
  refinement, countermodel, executable, or reusable dependency role, and proof
  bloat has been consolidated or retired without erasing lineage;
- every load-bearing atom has received a promotion-or-refutation campaign; an
  `argument` disposition survives only with an exact full-attempt explanation;
- all raw results, failures, exclusions, evaluator disagreements, costs,
  residuals, and reproduction instructions required for the public-safe record
  are retained;
- chapter prose, Appendix C/E/H/K, evidence vectors, proof adequacy, ledgers,
  reader projections, and public status all agree;
- exact release/no-release/block records exist for the living book and every
  attempted reader format;
- the maintained X Article derivative is evidence-faithful, at most 9,999
  words, opens with the canonical live-book URL, has an exact 2000×800 5:2
  accessible header, passes the current composer preview, and is either
  receipted as published with explicit authority or exactly
  `ready_not_published`;
- no external-human prepublication review or outreach is required or claimed;
  and
- one and only one active successor roadmap exists before this roadmap's status
  changes to completed.

Completion means the project gave every claim a proper scientific or formal
attempt and made the book match the evidence. It does not require every
hypothesis to succeed, does not convert empirical evidence into mathematical
certainty, and does not claim universal AI safety, AGI, or ASI.

> header, live-composer preflight, and explicit publication disposition; do not
> publish externally without Corben's authorization. Execute all safe,
> reversible, local research, writing, coding, evaluation, rendering, and
> validation work without asking for another hosted-chat run or routine user
> approval. Never make ChatGPT or another conversational browser session an
> unfinished dependency. When an optional model is unavailable, substitute an
> available local/open-weight/Codex role prospectively, record exact identity
> and limitations, and preserve the resulting claim ceiling. Treat prior Chat
> Pro runs as immutable history only. Do not close this roadmap until every
> material claim has a terminal disposition under the full-attempt standard,
> the exact release decision is recorded, all gates pass, and the next roadmap
> is activated in the same transaction.

## Non-claims at activation

- This roadmap does not prove, demonstrate, measure, or promote any chapter
  claim.
- It does not establish that the ASI Stack is beyond the state of the art.
- It does not approve or publish EPUB, PDF, DOCX, HTML, audio, or any reader
  edition.
- It does not create a new public version, tag, deployment, archive, DOI,
  license, or rights grant.
- It does not turn internal evaluator separation into independent external
  review.
- It does not guarantee positive experimental results.
- It does not create, upload, or publish the future X Article or its header; P9
  defines and governs those later artifacts, and external posting requires
  explicit authorization.
- It does not claim a validated ASI implementation, general AI safety, AGI, or
  ASI.
