Describes the logical hypothesis substrate and the discrete actions that create or replace structure in DE11, including the evidence needed to trace lineage and complexity.
Research documentation: this page interprets a cited research source and defines evidence requirements. It does not claim a released Teleodynamic AI implementation.
Forms as hypotheses
The reported system uses a logical language derived from Spencer-Brown’s calculus as the structural substrate. Each form requires a stable identifier, ancestry, class association, parameters, complexity, creation event, and retirement state.
Genesis
A genesis action adds a new hypothesis from available primitives or compositions. Record parent inputs, resulting DAG size, resource cost, and before-and-after candidate scores.
Wedge
A wedge action refines or replaces existing structure. Record what was displaced, why the replacement was eligible, and whether lineage and interpretability remain intact.
Scope
This starter page defines the questions, boundaries, evidence, and failure modes that should be recorded before a capability is presented as supported.
Engineering considerations
- Identify the source, version, target environment, and owner.
- Separate observed values from estimates and externally reported values.
- Record trade-offs, unsupported cases, and fallback behavior.
- Link performance statements to a compatible benchmark methodology.
Verification questions
- What exact artifact, revision, backend, and environment were reviewed?
- Which assumptions could change the result?
- Which data should be retained so another engineer can reproduce the conclusion?
