These updates are intentionally isolated. They must not be merged into canonical registries until the responsible review gate accepts them.
Theory registry
| ID |
Statement |
Status |
Confidence |
Evidence |
Revision trigger |
| FE-THEORY-0.1 |
FE is provisionally a framework-characterization and redesign research methodology, not a validated discipline. |
current baseline |
Low-Moderate |
EV-FE-001/002/003 |
independent matched comparative evidence |
| FE-THEORY-ALT-001 |
Observed benefits arise from generic structured analysis rather than FE-specific mechanisms. |
live competitor |
Low-Moderate |
EV-FE-002 |
FE outperforms complexity-matched alternatives |
| FE-THEORY-ALT-002 |
Apparent procedural invariance is partly instrument abstraction or recognition leakage. |
live competitor |
Low |
EV-FE-003 |
negative controls and human baseline preserve effect |

Hypotheses |
Acceptance condition |
| FE-EXP-BOUNDARY-001 |
Adjacent-method definition/boundary comparison |
proposed |
FEH-001 |
blinded reviewers identify non-redundant scope with acceptable agreement |
| FE-EXP-COLDSTART-001 |
REP/canon/ID cold-start continuation trial |
proposed |
FEH-002/003/004/007/010 |
better correct-first-action and provenance at acceptable cost |
| FE-EXP-UTILITY-001 |
FE versus matched structured baseline |
proposed |
FEH-001/009 |
preregistered net benefit beyond complexity |
| FE-EXP-HUMAN-001 |
ECR-000003 independent human baseline |
proposed |
H002/H003/H013/H015/H018 |
accepted extraction and adjudication dataset |
| FE-EXP-CONCURRENCY-001 |
Parallel-agent conflict and recovery trial |
proposed |
FEH-005/006/008 |
conflicts detected, lineage preserved, duplication bounded |
Decision registry
| ID |
Decision |
Status |
Rationale |
Revisit |
| FE-DEC-2026-07-23-001 |
Keep discipline status provisional. |
recommendation |
distinctiveness and efficacy not established |
after FE-EXP-BOUNDARY-001 and UTILITY-001 |
| FE-DEC-2026-07-23-002 |
Do not promote ECR-000003 proposal updates. |
constraint |
human decision record is blank |
when board outcome is recorded |
| FE-DEC-2026-07-23-003 |
Delay broad ontology and generation automation. |
recommendation |
ontology and causal mechanisms unstable |
after independent replication |
| FE-DEC-2026-07-23-004 |
Test minimal and full-strength operating modes. |
recommendation |
documentation burden is material and unmeasured |
after COLDSTART-001 |
Glossary
| Term |
Evaluation definition |
| Framework |
A named, reusable knowledge artifact that constrains or guides perception, reasoning, decision, or coordinated action; boundary remains empirical. |
| Framework Engineering |
The provisional program defined in the executive brief, not yet a validated standalone discipline. |
| Canonical |
Explicitly accepted by a named authority for a declared scope and version; neither newest nor most polished. |
| Immutable record |
A commit-addressed or append-only historical record whose prior content remains retrievable; ordinary editable Markdown is not immutable by declaration. |
| Accepted |
Passed its declared review gate; proposal-only and generated do not imply accepted. |
| Backbone |
High-level procedural roles or control shape that may persist despite label/detail drift. |
| Incremental value |
Benefit beyond a complexity-, time-, and expertise-matched alternative, net of cost. |
| Continuation test |
A blinded test of whether a new agent selects and executes the correct next action with traceable provenance. |
