# 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` recorded raw events, but no decision used them. TD-WP-0003-T04
|
|
removed capture and scoring concepts on 2026-09-28. Ordinary run evidence and
|
|
verdicts remain; no energy history is promised for future reconstruction.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- 2026-09-28 `DORMANT-INDEFINITE`. Capture removed; no new implementation gate.
