Concept ↔ Implementation Fitness Map
Updated: 2026-08-22 (TD-WP-0002-T03)
Traces each important concept to the implementation, experiment and evidence that support it. Unsupported entries are the point of this map — a concept with no implementation and no evidence is not a gap to be embarrassed about, it is the current honest state, and hiding it defeats the map's purpose.
Support levels follow TestDriverImprovementLoop.md §13:
C0 Idea · C1 Hypothesis · C2 Experimentally Supported ·
C3 Practically Validated · C4 Architectural Invariant
Current state
At the time of writing there is no implementation, so no concept can honestly
exceed C1. The initial classifications in §13 of the Improvement Loop
(Actor Isolation C2, Independent Oracles C2) are corrected downward here: they
were aspirational, not evidenced.
| Concept | Level | Implementation | Experiment | Evidence | Open question |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
C-use-case |
C1 | — (T04) | — | — | Is a use case expressible without leaking mechanics? |
C-actor-isolation |
C1 | — (T04) | E-001 | — | Isolation is asserted by construction; unverified. |
C-semantic-action |
C1 | — (T04) | E-001 | — | Does identity survive restructuring better than a recorded sequence? (H-001) |
C-oracle-independence |
C1 | — (T04) | E-001, E-003 | — | Independence of components ≠ independence of belief. (H-004) |
C-evidence-pack |
C1 | — (T04) | — | — | What is the minimum sufficient for replay? |
C-observation-channel |
C1 | — (T05) | — | — | D-07 — required of every system under test. Adoption cost unknown. |
C-adaptation |
C1 | — (T08) | E-001 | — | (H-002) |
C-classification |
C1 | — (T08) | E-001, E-003 | — | Decision table is total on paper; unexercised. |
C-crystallization |
C1 | — (T09) | E-002 | — | (H-003) |
C-intent-provenance |
C1 | — (T04) | E-003 | — | Constrains provenance, not quality. Accepted residual. |
C-lineage |
C0 | — | — | — | Parent pointer only in the spike. |
C-energy |
C0 | events only (T04) | — | — | Dormant by decision. (H-005) |
C-temperature |
C0 | — | — | — | Deferred. No implementation planned in TD-WP-0002. |
C-confidence |
C0 | — | — | — | Deferred. |
C-campaign |
C0 | — | — | — | Deferred. |
C-metabolism |
C0 | — | — | — | Deferred. Depends on C-energy. |
C-retirement |
C0 | — | — | — | Deferred. Depends on C-energy. |
C-security-mutation |
C1 | — | E-003 | — | Catalogue exists; no derivation mechanism. |
Orphan check
Conceptual orphans — concepts with no planned implementation in TD-WP-0002:
C-temperature, C-confidence, C-campaign, C-metabolism, C-retirement.
All five are deferred by explicit decision, not oversight. They are the group most at risk of being built because they are easy and satisfying, and never validated. They are revisited at T10, where the question is not "when do we build these" but "does the evidence justify keeping them in the model at all".
Implementation orphans — none yet; there is no implementation.
