H-001..H-005 with explicit falsification conditions, E-001..E-003, the Concept-Implementation Fitness Map, findings log and ID convention. Plain files, no tooling. - fitness map corrects Improvement Loop section 13 levels downward: nothing exceeds C1 without implementation - H-005 (Energy) dormant by decision - events captured, no scoring written - H-001 gets a genuine control arm so the semantic-action thesis is not trivially true - E-003 added: deliberately attacks the safety boundary rather than only sampling benign cases Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Assistant: claude-code Assistant-Model: opus Assistant-Process: 1629012@bnt-lap001 Assistant-Session: 78d4fb13-8a1e-474b-87a3-9b9261c49a39

# H-005 — Verification Energy
|
|
|
|
## Claim
|
|
|
|
Historical evidence about defects caught, adaptations required, false positives
|
|
and duplication can identify verification assets whose continued execution is
|
|
more valuable than others.
|
|
|
|
## Falsification condition
|
|
|
|
Energy scores computed from event history fail to rank assets better than a
|
|
trivial baseline (e.g. recency, or uniform priority) when predicting which assets
|
|
subsequently catch a defect.
|
|
|
|
## Why no experiment is planned yet
|
|
|
|
**This hypothesis is not testable at the current scale and is deliberately
|
|
dormant.** Validating it requires event history across many assets over months —
|
|
history the spike will not accumulate. Implementing a scoring function now would
|
|
produce a number that cannot be checked, which is worse than no number.
|
|
|
|
`TD-WP-0002` therefore records **raw immutable `EnergyEvent`s from the first run**
|
|
and implements no scoring, decay, or selection logic. Events cannot be
|
|
reconstructed later; scores can always be computed later.
|
|
|
|
This is the hypothesis most likely to be **cheaply built and never validated**,
|
|
which is precisely why it is fenced off.
|
|
|
|
## Status log
|
|
|
|
- 2026-08-22 `PROPOSED`, dormant by decision. Event capture only.
