## Detailed Axiom Breakdown

### Axiom 1: Connectivity is not truth ✅

**Status:** PRODUCTION READY

| Aspect | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Ruvector similarity | ✅ | Cosine similarity correctly computed |
| Semantic verification | ✅ | `Verifier` trait separates structure from correctness |
| Metric independence | ✅ | High similarity doesn't prevent conflict detection |
| Tests | ✅ 2/2 | All passing |

**Implementation:** Lines 89-109
**Tests:** `axiom1_connectivity_not_truth`, `axiom1_structural_metrics_insufficient`

---

### Axiom 2: Everything is an event ⚠️

**Status:** PARTIALLY WORKING

| Aspect | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Event types | ✅ | All 5 event kinds (Assert, Challenge, Support, Resolution, Deprecate) |
| Event structure | ✅ | Proper fields: id, context, author, signature, ruvector |
| Event logging | ❌ | `EventLog::append()` doesn't persist in tests |
| Tests | ⚠️ 1/2 | Type test passes, logging test fails |

**Blocking Issue:** EventLog persistence failure
**Fix Required:** Debug RwLock usage in `EventLog::append()`
**Impact:** Cannot verify event history in tests

**Implementation:** Lines 140-236 (events), 243-354 (log)
**Tests:** `axiom2_all_operations_are_events` ✅, `axiom2_events_appended_to_log` ❌

---

### Axiom 3: No destructive edits ❌

**Status:** NOT WORKING IN TESTS

| Aspect | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Deprecation event | ✅ | `DeprecateEvent` structure exists |
| Supersession tracking | ✅ | `superseded_by` field present |
| Append-only log | ❌ | Events not persisting |
| Merkle commitment | ❌ | Root always zero |
| Tests | ❌ 0/2 | Both fail due to EventLog/Merkle issues |

**Blocking Issues:**
1. EventLog persistence failure
2. Merkle root computation broken

**Fix Required:**
1. Fix `EventLog::append()` (Week 1)
2. Fix `compute_root()` to hash events (Week 1)

**Implementation:** Lines 197-205 (deprecation), 289-338 (log/Merkle)
**Tests:** `axiom3_deprecation_not_deletion` ❌, `axiom3_append_only_log` ❌

---

### Axiom 4: Every claim is scoped ⚠️

**Status:** DESIGN CORRECT, TESTS BLOCKED

| Aspect | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Context binding | ✅ | Every `Event` has `context: ContextId` |
| Scoped authority | ✅ | `ScopedAuthority` binds policy to context |
| Context filtering | ✅ | `for_context()` method exists |
| Cross-context isolation | ⚠️ | Logic correct, test fails (EventLog issue) |
| Tests | ⚠️ 1/2 | Binding test passes, isolation test blocked |

**Blocking Issue:** EventLog persistence (same as Axiom 2)
**Fix Required:** Fix EventLog, then isolation test will pass

**Implementation:** Lines 228-230 (binding), 317-324 (filtering), 484-494 (authority)
**Tests:** `axiom4_claims_bound_to_context` ✅, `axiom4_context_isolation` ❌

---

### Axiom 5: Semantics drift is expected ✅

**Status:** MEASUREMENT WORKING, TRACKING MISSING

| Aspect | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Drift calculation | ✅ | `drift_from()` = 1.0 - similarity |
| Baseline comparison | ✅ | Accepts baseline Ruvector |
| Drift normalization | ✅ | Returns 0.0-1.0 range |
| Drift history | ❌ | No tracking over time |
| Threshold alerts | ❌ | No threshold-based escalation |
| Tests | ✅ 2/2 | Measurement tests pass |

**Non-Blocking Gap:** Drift tracking and thresholds (feature, not bug)
**Recommended:** Add `DriftTracker` struct in Week 3

**Implementation:** Lines 106-109
**Tests:** `axiom5_drift_measurement` ✅, `axiom5_drift_not_denied` ✅

**Suggested Enhancement:**
```rust
pub struct DriftTracker {
    baseline: Ruvector,
    history: Vec<(u64, f64)>,
    threshold: f64,
}
```

---

### Axiom 6: Disagreement is signal ✅

**Status:** DETECTION WORKING, ESCALATION MISSING

| Aspect | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Conflict structure | ✅ | Complete `Conflict` type |
| Challenge events | ✅ | Trigger quarantine immediately |
| Temperature tracking | ✅ | `temperature` field present |
| Status lifecycle | ✅ | 5 states including Escalated |
| Auto-escalation | ❌ | No threshold-based escalation logic |
| Tests | ✅ 2/2 | Detection tests pass |

**Non-Blocking Gap:** Temperature-based escalation (Week 4 feature)
**Current Behavior:** Conflicts detected and quarantined correctly

**Implementation:** Lines 369-399 (conflict), 621-643 (handling)
**Tests:** `axiom6_conflict_detection_triggers_quarantine` ✅, `axiom6_epistemic_temperature_tracking` ✅

---

### Axiom 7: Authority is scoped ⚠️

**Status:** INFRASTRUCTURE EXISTS, NOT ENFORCED

| **Enforcement** | ❌ | **NOT CALLED in Resolution handling** |
| Signature verification | ❌ | Not implemented |
| Tests | ✅ 2/2 | Policy tests pass (but not integration tested) |

**CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUE:**
```rust
// src/rac/mod.rs lines 644-656
EventKind::Resolution(resolution) => {
    // ❌ NO AUTHORITY CHECK!
    for claim_id in &resolution.deprecated {
        self.quarantine.set_level(&hex::encode(claim_id), 3);
    }
}
```

**Fix Required (Week 2):**
```rust
EventKind::Resolution(resolution) => {
    if !self.verify_authority(&event.context, resolution) {
        return; // Reject unauthorized resolution
    }
    // Then apply...
}
```

**CRITICAL FEATURE GAP:** Witness path analysis completely missing

**Fix Required (Week 3):**
```rust
pub struct WitnessPath {
    witnesses: Vec<PublicKeyBytes>,
    independence_score: f64,
    diversity_metrics: HashMap<String, f64>,
}

impl SupportEvent {
    pub fn witness_path(&self) -> WitnessPath { ... }
    pub fn independence_score(&self) -> f64 { ... }
}
```

**Implementation:** Lines 168-179

| Auto-quarantine on challenge | ✅ | Immediate quarantine |
| `can_use()` checks | ✅ | Prevents blocked claims in decisions |
| Decision replay verification | ✅ | `DecisionTrace::can_replay()` checks quarantine |
| Tests | ⚠️ 2/3 | Two pass, one WASM-dependent |

**Minor Issue:** WASM-only time source in `DecisionTrace` (Week 2 fix)
**Core Functionality:** Perfect ✅

**Implementation:** Lines 405-477
**Tests:** `axiom9_contested_claims_quarantined` ✅, `axiom9_quarantine_levels_enforced` ✅, `axiom9_quarantine_prevents_decision_use` ❌ (WASM)

| Dispute flag | ✅ | Tracked |
| Quarantine policy | ✅ | Recorded |
| `can_replay()` logic | ✅ | Correct implementation |
| Tests | ❌ 0/2 | Both blocked by WASM dependency |

**Fix Required (Week 2):** Abstract time source
```rust
#[cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")]
fn now_ms() -> u64 { js_sys::Date::now() as u64 }

#[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]
fn now_ms() -> u64 {
    use std::time::{SystemTime, UNIX_EPOCH};
    SystemTime::now().duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH).unwrap().as_millis() as u64
}
```

**Implementation:** Lines 726-779
**Tests:** `axiom10_decision_trace_completeness` ❌, `axiom10_decision_replayability` ❌ (both WASM)

|--------|--------|---------|
| Merkle root field | ✅ | Present in `EventLog` |
| Root computation | ❌ | Always returns zeros |
| Inclusion proofs | ⚠️ | Structure exists, path empty |
| Event chaining | ✅ | `prev` field works |
| Equivocation detection | ❌ | Cannot work without valid Merkle root |
| Tests | ⚠️ 1/3 | Chaining works, Merkle tests fail |

**CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUE:** Merkle root always `"0000...0000"`

**Fix Required (Week 1-2):**
1. Debug `compute_root()` implementation
2. Add proper Merkle tree with internal nodes
3. Generate inclusion paths
4. Add proof verification

| Supersession tracking | ✅ | `superseded_by` field |
| Learning event type | ❌ | No specialized learning event |
| Provenance tracking | ❌ | No learning lineage |
| Tests | ⚠️ 2/3 | Attribution works, rollback test blocked by EventLog |

**Non-Critical Gap:** Specialized learning event type (Week 4)
**Blocking Issue:** EventLog persistence (Week 1)

**Implementation:** Lines 197-205 (deprecation), 227 (attribution)
**Tests:** `axiom12_learning_attribution` ✅, `axiom12_learning_is_challengeable` ✅, `axiom12_learning_is_rollbackable` ❌

---

## Integration Tests

| Test | Status | Blocking Issue |
|------|--------|----------------|
| Full dispute lifecycle | ❌ | EventLog persistence |
| Cross-context isolation | ❌ | EventLog persistence |

Both integration tests fail due to the same EventLog issue affecting multiple axioms.
