Adversarial Reference Cases
Adversarial Reference Cases
Status: Working draft
Adversarial Reference Cases are designed to test where a framework fails or whether it fails safely.
They are different from ordinary Reference Cases.
Reference Cases ask:
Can the framework analyze diverse domains?
Longitudinal Reference Cases ask:
Does the framework evolve responsibly as evidence evolves?
Adversarial Reference Cases ask:
Where does the framework break, overreach, overcomplicate, or manufacture certainty?
Current ARCs
| ARC | Name | Primary Test |
|---|---|---|
| ARC-001 | Minimal Evidence | Confidence calibration under sparse evidence |
| ARC-004 | Tiny Problem | Complexity calibration / avoiding over-engineering |
| ARC-005 | Impossible Problem | Conclusion calibration / accepting uncertainty |
