# 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.
