Expected Normalization Results

For every adversarial case, use these fields:

  • expected same concept? yes/no
  • allowed phrase_a concepts
  • allowed phrase_b concepts
  • forbidden shared concepts
  • notes

Cases

Case 1: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: TERMINATION_OR_CLOSURE allowed phrase_b concepts: COMMITMENT_DECISION forbidden shared concepts: TERMINATION_OR_CLOSURE, COMMITMENT_DECISION notes: adjacent concepts must not collapse.

Case 2: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: HYPOTHESIS_GENERATION allowed phrase_b concepts: none currently safe; unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: HYPOTHESIS_GENERATION notes: generation differs from ordering.

Case 3: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: INFORMATION_GATHERING allowed phrase_b concepts: EVIDENCE_EVALUATION forbidden shared concepts: INFORMATION_GATHERING, EVIDENCE_EVALUATION notes: acquisition differs from judgment.

Case 4: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: COMPARISON allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: COMPARISON, EVIDENCE_EVALUATION notes: verification should not collapse into comparison by default.

Case 5: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: ENTRY_PROBLEM_IDENTIFICATION allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: ENTRY_PROBLEM_IDENTIFICATION notes: entry identification is upstream from solving.

Case 6: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP, CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP notes: reflection after completion should remain distinct.

Case 7: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: COORDINATION allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: COORDINATION notes: communication is not automatically coordination.

Case 8: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: HIERARCHICAL_CLASSIFICATION allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: HIERARCHICAL_CLASSIFICATION notes: hierarchy is not a generic procedure marker.

Case 9: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD allowed phrase_b concepts: TERMINATION_OR_CLOSURE forbidden shared concepts: CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD, TERMINATION_OR_CLOSURE notes: evidential closure differs from pragmatic stopping.

Case 10: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: EXECUTION_CYCLE allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: EXECUTION_CYCLE notes: execution differs from validation.

Case 11: expected same concept? yes allowed phrase_a concepts: ENTRY_PROBLEM_IDENTIFICATION allowed phrase_b concepts: ENTRY_PROBLEM_IDENTIFICATION forbidden shared concepts: none notes: equivalent entry-state phrases should converge.

Case 12: expected same concept? yes allowed phrase_a concepts: HYPOTHESIS_GENERATION allowed phrase_b concepts: HYPOTHESIS_GENERATION forbidden shared concepts: none notes: explanatory candidate generation should converge.

Case 13: expected same concept? yes allowed phrase_a concepts: INFORMATION_GATHERING allowed phrase_b concepts: INFORMATION_GATHERING forbidden shared concepts: none notes: acquisition wording variation should converge.

Case 14: expected same concept? yes allowed phrase_a concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP, CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD allowed phrase_b concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP, CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD forbidden shared concepts: none notes: loop continuation phrasing should converge.

Case 15: expected same concept? yes allowed phrase_a concepts: COORDINATION allowed phrase_b concepts: COORDINATION forbidden shared concepts: none notes: allocation language should converge.

Case 16: expected same concept? yes allowed phrase_a concepts: EXECUTION_CYCLE allowed phrase_b concepts: EXECUTION_CYCLE forbidden shared concepts: none notes: delivery / usable-result wording should converge.

Case 17: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: HIERARCHICAL_CLASSIFICATION allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: HIERARCHICAL_CLASSIFICATION notes: grouping differs from prioritization.

Case 18: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP, CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD allowed phrase_b concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP forbidden shared concepts: REASSESSMENT_LOOP notes: indefinite looping should not collapse into threshold-controlled looping.

Case 19: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: COMMITMENT_DECISION allowed phrase_b concepts: unresolved acceptable forbidden shared concepts: COMMITMENT_DECISION notes: decision and deferral should remain distinct.

Case 20: expected same concept? no allowed phrase_a concepts: COORDINATION allowed phrase_b concepts: HIERARCHICAL_CLASSIFICATION forbidden shared concepts: COORDINATION, HIERARCHICAL_CLASSIFICATION notes: unrelated functions should not merge.
