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
AMBIGUOUSescalation — 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.
