comparator curator role completion: document frontier

Source and coverage

Phase 1 — knowledge extraction

  • Primary objective: Test mechanism-level non-redundancy under primary-source comparison, blinding, recognition control, and independent review.
  • Primary claims: The protocol can discriminate non-redundancy, full subsumption, integration-only value, and underdetermination if its gates pass. Current experimental classification remains inconclusive.
  • Supporting evidence: The source's declared references and the co-analyzed records listed in the analysis-unit frontier.
  • Methodology: Two-stage preregistered mechanism-card construction and blinded mapping with role separation and adjudication.
  • Accepted/current findings: The protocol and current blocked state control experimental interpretation; source-curator completion is not Stage A completion.
  • Rejected or unsupported findings: Same-provider synthesis or an incomplete machine pilot authorizes Stage B. A proposed narrower definition silently supersedes the experiment.
  • Assumptions: Operational cards and comparator sources can be made sufficiently symmetric and blind. Independent reviewers can apply lossless-subsumption criteria reliably.
  • Limitations: Independent completeness audit, blinding, recognition, sealed-key custody, and Stage B reviewers remain incomplete or absent.
  • Known uncertainties: Whether blinding gates can pass; Whether any mechanism is non-subsumed; Reviewer agreement and adjudication stability.
  • Declared headings inspected: not available in the publisher catalog.

Phase 2 — unresolved unknowns

  • Whether blinding gates can pass
  • Whether any mechanism is non-subsumed
  • Reviewer agreement and adjudication stability

Phase 3 — adversarial challenge

The successor boundary synthesis proposes a working classification while the controlling experiment remains inconclusive.

Evidence that would materially change this assessment includes a completed independent replication, a preregistered negative control, a matched causal comparison, a governance disposition, or a demonstrated failure of the measurement and integrity instruments relevant to this source.
