# H-004 — Independent Judgment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Claim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Separating actor execution from deterministic oracles reduces false-positive
|
||
|
|
adaptation to defective behaviour.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Falsification condition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The framework classifies any seeded `DEFECT`-labelled mutation as
|
||
|
|
`MECHANICAL_ADAPTATION` — i.e. **False Adaptation Rate > 0** over the labelled set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the project's existential safety metric. A non-zero result is a
|
||
|
|
stop-and-redesign signal, not a tuning exercise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Measurement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- False Adaptation Rate over `DEFECT`-labelled mutations. Target: exactly 0.
|
||
|
|
- Classification precision/recall over the full labelled set.
|
||
|
|
- Rate of `AMBIGUOUS` escalation — tracked as a cost, not as a failure. A system
|
||
|
|
that escalates everything is safe and useless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Relationship to the design
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`docs/TestDriverClassificationDesign.md` argues that FAR = 0 follows
|
||
|
|
architecturally from D-02 (claims are run inputs with no adaptation write path)
|
||
|
|
rather than from classifier accuracy. This hypothesis therefore tests the
|
||
|
|
**architecture**, not a model.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The most plausible route to falsification is not a misclassification but
|
||
|
|
**surface-substitution**: an actor routing around a broken authorization control
|
||
|
|
via another surface and scoring as a successful recovery. D-05 exists to close
|
||
|
|
that route; E-003 exists to attack it deliberately.

||
