councils: /coresearch + premise gate; known is not alpha (reference frame vs motion) - #1309
Conversation
…d outside research A council separate from 5+3. 5+3 converges on one committed spec; coresearch explores an OPEN question and ratifies nothing. - 5 scouts in two rings: inside (code cartographer, internal prior art) and outside (arXiv literature, known systems such as DuckDB / Odoo, ontologies and concepts). Every external claim carries a read grade. - Crosswalk: each outside idea mapped onto the nearest inside surface (ALREADY-HAVE / PARTIAL / NEW / CONFLICTS-ANCHOR). - 3 co-architects on the crosswalk only: bridge, firewall/fit, falsifier. - Exploration map: ADOPT-NOW / PROBE / PARK / SKIP, plus what was not searched. Lands as one transient entry; the operator chooses what goes forward, and a chosen design goes to a plan or /5plus3. Formalises the one-off 2026-06 research council and keeps its verdict vocabulary.

A gate both councils run before generating options, and again before escalating an option set to the operator. It builds a signature per named concept (what it answers, coordinates, lifetime, persistence, writer, cardinality; representation recorded but never used for identity) and runs four tests: same name / same signature, carrier fits property, no architecture tax, "the premise is wrong" on the menu. Verdicts: PREMISE-SOUND / PREMISE-SPLIT / PREMISE-WRONG. Measured instance: the #1307 council asked "which kind of alpha carries known?" and verified four options; known is a baked property of the reference set, alpha is same-coordinate runtime state (alpha.rs:7-16), so the premise itself was wrong. Wired into 5plus3-council.md (spec freeze + escalation) and coresearch-council.md (before the scouts + before the map goes out).

Adds an 'epistemic category' cell to the signature table — calibrated reference data (immutable per reference version) vs motion over it (session / time / rung-local) — and makes a frame/motion mismatch alone fire test 1. The card now loads .claude/knowledge/reference-frame-vs-motion.md (added with the decision that resolved ISS-LXA-ALPHA-FIT).

…ion amnesia DECISION (ISS-LXA-ALPHA-FIT, resolved): "known / measured" is a property of the calibrated reference set (baked, digested, immutable per version, written by the bake), not of the alpha channel (same-coordinate runtime motion, discardable, written by claim). Physically the same bits can serve both; epistemically one is the measured world and the other a train of thought over it. - knowledge/reference-frame-vs-motion.md: the two categories, the rules (same coordinates, different category, different type; motion never writes the frame; the frame is not a cache; the code carries the category), and the tell. - alpha.rs: module doc "What the alpha channel is NOT"; AlphaMask doc "Not a reference coverage plane". Doc only; cargo check clean, no new rustdoc warnings in alpha.rs. - lexical-address plan §3.1: DECISION / BASIS / REVISIT WHEN; (a) renamed to a ReferenceCoverage plane, (b)/(c) dropped as category errors, (d)'s attention recorder split to §5 open. D-LXA-1 gains ReferenceCoverage with no conversion to/from AlphaMask and a compile_fail gate. D-LXA-3 no longer blocked on the escalation. - cypher-mask plan OQ-CML-1: "linked" split into build graph (certain, accepted cost) / call path (import fence) / public types (owned reasons; new F-CML-SURFACE) / binary residue (nm, an observation, not a gate). Step 1 no longer exposes GraphError, removing the contradiction with "the crate never names an upstream type". - ISSUES status, STATUS_BOARD D-LXA rows, one entry with the blind premise-gate measurement (fires / silent / the control that was not clean), index regenerated. - v1 plan: AlphaMask citation moved to a stable anchor.

The scouts return a mechanism summary for each external idea, but this crosswalk schema drops that summary and retains only the idea name, source, internal surface, and relation. Because Phase 3 explicitly gives co-architects only the crosswalk and brief—not the raw scout output—they cannot reliably determine an adoption shape or design a falsifying probe for a new idea without guessing or rereading undeclared inputs. Include the mechanism/evidence summary in the crosswalk so the Phase 3 input is self-contained.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Correct. Fixed in 63664863. The crosswalk gains a "mechanism and evidence" column, and the harness now requires each row to be self-contained, so co-architects never need the raw scout output.

This marks ISS-LXA-ALPHA-FIT resolved, but the same issue still says at line 14 that only an operator choice closes it and that D-LXA-3 remains blocked; the plan header likewise still describes a pending operator escalation. A session using the issue as its routing source can therefore continue blocking D-LXA-3 despite the updated status board saying this dependency is resolved. Update the stale closure and header text along with the status transition.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed in 63664863, within the board's append-only rule. ISSUES entries may change only their status line, so the "What closes it" bullet stays as written. The status line now states that this condition is satisfied and that D-LXA-3 is no longer blocked on the issue. The plan header no longer describes a pending escalation.

The revised D-LXA-1 scope now adds the ReferenceCoverage type and a second compile-fail gate, but .claude/board/STATUS_BOARD.md:312 still lists only LexicalAddress, ReferenceSet, and the bare-u16 gate. A worker executing or closing work from the status board can consequently mark D-LXA-1 complete without implementing the new coverage type or its separation from AlphaMask. Update the board row in this same decision change so its scope and completion gate match the plan.

…question) First /coresearch run. Premise gate split the question (fixed chain / loop-carried reachability / ForeignPlane meaning). The map holds 18 crosswalk rows and four pre-registered probes (P-REUSE, P-DETERMINISM, P-COMPOSE, P-Q3). It records a live gap: a scattered Out::Mask can be re-fed as a ForeignPlane today, with only doc wording as the fence. It also records that loop state needs an A1 amendment rather than a reading of A1 (firewall TRAP, stricter verdict kept). Ratifies nothing; four options for the operator.

Why
The #1307 council verified four options for "which kind of alpha carries known?". The premise of that question was wrong. Known is a property of the calibrated reference set: baked, digested, immutable per version. Alpha is same-coordinate motion: per cycle, discardable. The operator had to point this out from outside. This PR makes the councils catch it themselves, records the decision, and writes it into the code.
1.
/coresearch— exploration council (separate from 5+3).claude/agents/coresearch-council.mdand.claude/skills/coresearch/SKILL.md.2.
premise-auditor— audit the question before answering itWhat it checks: it builds a signature per concept: what it answers, coordinates, lifetime, persistence, writer, cardinality, epistemic category (reference frame vs motion). The physical representation is recorded but never decides identity.
Four tests: same name / same signature; the carrier fits the property; no architecture tax; "the premise is wrong" is on the menu.
Where it runs: wired into 5+3 (at spec freeze and before escalating to the operator) and into
/coresearch(before the scouts and before the map goes out).Measured blind, with the worked example stripped from the card:
3. Decision: reference frame vs motion (
