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:

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

Aspect	Status	Details
ScopedAuthority struct	✅	Context, keys, threshold, evidence types
AuthorityPolicy trait	✅	Clean verification interface
Threshold (k-of-n)	✅	Field present
Enforcement	❌	NOT CALLED in Resolution handling
Signature verification	❌	Not implemented
Tests	✅ 2/2	Policy tests pass (but not integration tested)

CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUE:

// 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):

EventKind::Resolution(resolution) => {
    if !self.verify_authority(&event.context, resolution) {
        return; // Reject unauthorized resolution
    }
    // Then apply...
}

Implementation: Lines 484-503 Tests: axiom7_scoped_authority_verification ✅, axiom7_threshold_authority ✅

---

Axiom 8: Witnesses matter ❌

Status: DATA STRUCTURES ONLY

Aspect	Status	Details
SupportEvent	✅	Has cost, evidence fields
Evidence diversity	✅	Different evidence types (hash, url)
Witness paths	❌	Not implemented
Independence scoring	❌	Not implemented
Diversity metrics	❌	Not implemented
Confidence calculation	❌	Not implemented
Tests	⚠️ 2/2	Infrastructure tests pass, no behavior tests

CRITICAL FEATURE GAP: Witness path analysis completely missing

Fix Required (Week 3):

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 Tests: axiom8_witness_cost_tracking ✅, axiom8_evidence_diversity ✅

---

Axiom 9: Quarantine is mandatory ✅

Status: PRODUCTION READY

Aspect	Status	Details
QuarantineManager	✅	Fully implemented
Four quarantine levels	✅	None, Conservative, RequiresWitness, Blocked
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)

---

Axiom 10: All decisions are replayable ⚠️

Status: LOGIC CORRECT, WASM-DEPENDENT

Aspect	Status	Details
DecisionTrace structure	✅	All required fields
Dependency tracking	✅	Complete event ID list
Timestamp recording	⚠️	Uses js_sys::Date::now() (WASM-only)
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

#[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)

---

Axiom 11: Equivocation is detectable ❌

Status: MERKLE BROKEN

Aspect	Status	Details
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

Implementation: Lines 326-353 Tests: axiom11_merkle_root_changes_on_append ❌, axiom11_inclusion_proof_generation ❌, axiom11_event_chaining ✅

Signature fields	✅	Present (verification not implemented)
Deprecation mechanism	✅	Rollback via deprecation
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.
