Experiment Set ID: CC-EXP-NEXT-01
Version: 0.1
Date: 19 September 2026
Programme: Codex Commons
Standing: INTERNAL β NEXT CANDIDATE TEST SET / CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT PLAN. NO ADMISSION OR PUBLICATION AUTHORISED.
Purpose
Continue the Commons extraction programme after admission of:
- RRAP v0.1 Candidate;
- QMAP v0.1 Candidate;
and approval of the Commons Non-Promotion Rule.
The next tests deliberately avoid reopening already resolved RRAP/QMAP semantics and avoid prematurely admitting CR/authority-sensitive constructs.
Candidate triage
From CC-EXTRACT-ARQUA-01 and CC-C01 decomposition:
Advance now
T1 β Conformance / Acceptance Boundary
Source: SP3 residual after RRAP.
Question:
Can we define a reusable cross-domain profile distinguishing constraint/reference β assessment β conformance finding β acceptance/adoption, without creating a conformance engine or authority model?
Why now:
RRAP stops at role; QMAP stops at mapping. Conformance remains a repeated independent concern.
T2 β Evidence / Assertion Standing
Source: CC-C08.
Question:
Can source assertion, normalised classification, interpretation, implementation claim, observed evidence, conformance finding and runtime outcome be reduced into a reusable evidence/assertion profile without importing CR epistemic theory?
Why now:
This repeatedly appears in vendor, framework, agent and customer evidence flows.
T3 β Change / Supersession / Revalidation
Source: RRAP/QMAP repeated requirement.
Question:
Is there a small reusable profile for effective period, supersession, invalidation and revalidation triggers across semantic artefacts?
Why now:
Both admitted candidates depend on reconstructable history, but neither should own a full lifecycle ontology.
Hold
H1 β Epistemic Qualification
CC-C05 / SP1.
HOLD: too close to active CR epistemic/reality research.
H2 β Proposition-Relative Authority
CC-C07 / SP2.
HOLD: requires legal/cultural/Indigenous authority reconciliation.
H3 β Understanding / Execution Boundary
SP4.
HOLD: needs reduction away from EAA before Commons testing.
H4 β SNPP standalone artefact
HOLD: already placed as Commons governance rule + Arqua principle.
Experiment T1 β Conformance / Acceptance Boundary β first-pass decomposition
Candidate distinctions:
Reference/Constraint β Assessment β Conformance Finding β Acceptance β Authority β Admissibility.
Generality probes
- software schema validation;
- cybersecurity control assessment;
- building inspection/certification;
- regulatory compliance mapping;
- data contract validation;
- AI model evaluation;
- manufacturing quality inspection;
- professional accreditation.
Hostile questions
- Can conformance be self-declared?
- Can assessment produce non-conformance?
- Does certification imply legal permission?
- Does accepted exception mean conformant?
- Can implementation be accepted despite non-conformance?
- Can conformance be purpose/version-specific?
- Can two assessors disagree?
- Does runtime drift invalidate prior conformance?
Provisional hypothesis: likely decomposes into an Assessment Assertion plus separate acceptance/authority. Test before naming.
Experiment T2 β Evidence / Assertion Standing β first-pass decomposition
Candidate sequence-like list:
Source Assertion Β· Classification Β· Interpretation Β· Implementation Claim Β· Observation Evidence Β· Conformance Finding Β· Runtime Outcome.
Immediate warning:
This is probably not a lifecycle.
Test whether these are:
- assertion/evidence roles;
- epistemic modes;
- provenance roles;
- institutional standings.
Generality probes
- vendor product documentation;
- research paper;
- regulatory source;
- sensor evidence;
- customer implementation statement;
- audit finding;
- AI-generated summary;
- incident/outcome record.
Hostile questions
- Is a source assertion itself evidence?
- Can observation be generated by inference?
- Can an interpretation be authoritative?
- Can an implementation claim be observed?
- Does an audit finding become truth?
- Does a runtime outcome validate the prior model?
- Can AI summaries preserve source assertion standing?
- Which parts are already RRAP roles?
Provisional hypothesis: likely decomposes rather than becoming one profile. Strong overlap with RRAP/PROV and CR epistemic mode must be controlled.
Experiment T3 β Change / Supersession / Revalidation β first-pass decomposition
Candidate concepts:
- effective_from / effective_to;
- supersedes / superseded_by;
- invalidated_by;
- revalidation_trigger;
- last_reviewed;
- review_due;
- applicability change.
Generality probes
- framework version update;
- vendor capability change;
- regulation amendment;
- schema migration;
- mapping supersession;
- design revision;
- observation expiry;
- authority source change.
Hostile questions
- Does newer automatically supersede older?
- Can two versions remain concurrently applicable?
- Does source change invalidate every dependent assertion?
- Is expiry the same as invalidation?
- Can an artefact be superseded for one purpose but still valid for another?
- Is revalidation a semantic relation or workflow task?
- Does changed evidence invalidate accepted standing automatically?
- Can applicability be jurisdiction-specific?
Provisional hypothesis: likely a temporal/applicability guidance profile, but much may already be covered by PROV/time/version vocabularies. Prior-art reduction will be decisive.
Test order
- CC-EXP-C05-CONF-01 β Conformance / Acceptance Decomposition & Generality
- CC-EXP-C08-EVID-01 β Evidence / Assertion Standing Decomposition
- CC-EXP-CHANGE-01 β Supersession / Revalidation Generality
- Reassess candidate register after all three before admitting anything else.
Programme guardrails
- No βone ontology to rule them allβ.
- Reuse existing standards before minting Commons terms.
- Keep authority separate.
- Keep CR epistemic theory separate.
- Preserve Commons Non-Promotion Rule.
- RRAP/QMAP standings unchanged.
- No public publication.
- No namespace/schema/GitHub implementation.
Decision
CC-EXP-NEXT-01 β NEXT TEST SET ESTABLISHED.
Begin with T1 Conformance / Acceptance Boundary, because it is the clearest unresolved semantic gap adjacent to RRAP/QMAP.
