Docket Map
This appendix is a reader-facing view of the repository's machine-readable research status, the sole authority for paper lifecycle and epistemic status. “Formally verified” means that a stated result in a stated model has machine-checked support. It does not verify a constitutional conclusion, a historical interpretation, or a claim about institutions outside that model.
The docket has changed materially. The original Coherence Fee gateway and several fee-family papers are withdrawn or falsified. Their surviving results may be reused only through the corrected reports named by the status source. In particular, the old fee did not predict execution failure. It survives only as a scoped disclosure or omission measure.
Current Program
| Work | Lifecycle | Epistemic status | Reader's guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tarski Coherence | external review | formally verified | The degree-1 conjecture was false as stated. The paper gives a corrected graph-theoretic characterization in its model. |
| Compositional Accountability | technical report | empirically demonstrated | The proposed theorem gate failed. The surviving finite profile measures query-relative evidence survivability without claiming new cut mathematics. |
| BABEL v2 | active draft | conjectural | Execution-failure prediction is unvalidated and awaits independently authored workflow evidence. |
| BABEL v1 | archived | empirically demonstrated | The frozen benchmark remains reproducible within its protocol; the execution-prediction interpretation is retired. |
| The Disclosure Deficit | active draft | not assessed | Planned consolidation of surviving scoped measurements, with no new theorem presently claimed. |
| The Coherence Fee gateway essay | withdrawn | falsified | Historical only. The schema fee failed as an execution-failure predictor. |
| The Coherence Fee Paper I | withdrawn | falsified | Corollary 3.2 is false. Surviving component-count results require the consolidated report. |
| The Witness Gram Paper III | withdrawn | falsified | The basis-count corollary is false. Only audited rank identities and the corrected repair result may survive. |
| Witness Geometry Beyond Scalar Fee | withdrawn | falsified | Operational-sparsity claim withdrawn. Corrected repair results require the correction note. |
| Coherence Types | withdrawn | falsified | The type-soundness theorem is false under the stated rules. |
| The Linear Communication Bottleneck Conjecture | withdrawn | falsified | Spectral-gap trichotomy withdrawn. Only the scoped Haar lemmas survive. |
| Column-Matroid Backbone | technical report | formally verified | Scoped corank identity under the paper's construction and hypotheses. |
| Signed-Incidence Structure | technical report | formally verified | Scoped rank results under stated hypotheses. |
| A Witness Logic for Semantic Composition | technical report | formally verified | Abstract numerical layer is checked. Concrete modeling identification remains review-dependent. |
| SCPI | technical report | formally verified | Scoped finite-site core, with perimeter statements remaining conditional. |
| Bridge | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Identification and specification gap on the disclosed study families only. |
| Seam | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Diagnostic consequences demonstrated in the reported environment, not a universal protocol theorem. |
| SHEAF | active draft | conjectural | Enriched bridge and topology-auction claims remain unverified. |
| Bitcoin After Money | technical report | conjectural | Settlement argument remains a proposal, not a demonstrated necessity. |
| Coherence Cliff | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Scaling result on the disclosed experimental families. |
| Local Interface Descriptions Do Not Compose | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Scoped evidence under the reported construction. |
| The Physical Coherence Fee | archived | conjectural | Historical extension, with no current demonstrated physical-domain result. |
| The Stitching Defect | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Scoped experimental result under disclosed tasks. |
| The Composition Tax | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Scoped experimental result that does not establish a universal institutional tax. |
| Local Validity Does Not Compose | technical report | empirically demonstrated | Demonstrated on the reported families, not all compositions. |
| Compositional Incoherence Is a Parity | technical report | conjectural | Hardness claim remains conditional. |
| Interpretability Frontier | archived | empirically demonstrated | The scoped cyclic-composition result is retained; no general boundary for all interpretability systems is established. |
What the Docket Can Support
The research program supplies several kinds of evidence, which must not be collapsed:
- machine-checked theorems establish consequences of formal definitions under stated hypotheses,
- experiments establish results on frozen tasks, models, and datasets,
- historical cases support institutional analogies and convergence arguments,
- the constitutional articles remain normative proposals, and
- C2, C5 through C12 are not “verified” merely because some adjacent mathematical object is.
The strongest current formal result relevant to the abridged argument is that locally acceptable structures can exhibit defined global obstructions in specified models. The strongest current empirical warning is negative: an attractive structural measurement did not generalize to execution-failure prediction. That correction narrows the program and increases its credibility.
Claim-to-Evidence Map
| Claim | Epistemic class | Present support | Current limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 Tempo and legitimacy | architectural | constitutional argument and cases | no universal empirical threshold |
| C2 Convergent witnessing | historical | sourced recurrence across selected institutions | recurrence is not proof of necessity or independence |
| C3 Trust Tax | interpretive | institutional cases and scoped disclosure measure | no general failure predictor |
| C4 Compositional failure | formal plus empirical | checked formal cores and disclosed study families | model-to-world identification remains conditional |
| C5 Factor Prime | conjectural | operational V/C heuristic | automation order has counterforces and domain limits |
| C6 Bifurcation | conjectural | economic argument | concentration and firm-boundary forecast unvalidated |
| C7 Domination without a dominator | interpretive | republican theory and composed-system cases | normative classification, not a theorem |
| C8 Receipt minimum | normative | due-process analogy and design specification | sufficiency and calibration require trials |
| C9 Predictable receipt failure | architectural | working three-part taxonomy | taxonomy is not proven exhaustive |
| C10 Credible exit | normative | exit, voice, interoperability literature | portability may fail under network effects or duress |
| C11 Quiet Foreclosure | conjectural | platform and process examples | “dominant form” remains an empirical forecast |
| C12 Mercy threshold | normative | temporal-justice argument | no formal theory proves a single correct calibration |
Live Authority and Falsification
The status source records a falsifier for every active paper. A manuscript claim must be downgraded whenever its linked paper is falsified, withdrawn, or superseded. No prose summary may preserve the earlier status.
