Validation Status — RippleLogic v9.0

Last updated: 2026-03-24

Current Status

RippleLogic v9.0 is freeze-ready as the core synced document/workbook set.

The current release line provides:

  • a governing canon document (RippleLogic_v9.0_Canon.docx)
  • synced companion artifacts across SGP, ripple.md, the Agent System, and the Aligners Sheet
  • a workbook with clean claimability and publication surfaces
  • release manifest and SHA-256 assets suitable for GitHub release publication and website distribution

Tier 4 compliance claims remain prohibited until validator/schema surfaces and any optional executable replay assets are separately published and pinned.

Validation Phase Tracker

Phase Description Status
Core freeze line Synced canon + workbook + release manifest/hash package ✅ Complete
Formal specification Canon and companion documents aligned for v9.0 release line ✅ Complete
Workbook publication clean state Claimability and publish-ready surfaces resolved ✅ Complete
Release packaging Manifest, SHA-256 files, and integrity documentation prepared ✅ Complete
Inter-rater reliability (IRR) Required before stronger operational-readiness claims 🔲 Planned
Phase 1 — Formal verification Independent implementation and adversarial testing surfaces 🔲 Planned
Phase 2 — Measurement validation Indicator reliability and UCI calibration work 🔲 Planned
Phase 3 — Controlled pilots Comparison against baseline governance processes 🔲 Planned
Phase 4 — Field studies Longitudinal monitoring and kernel calibration 🔲 Planned
Tier 4 replay publication Validator/schema and replay-grade bundle publication 🔲 Not yet published

What "Freeze-Ready Core Canon Line" Means

The v9.0 line is complete enough to serve as the authoritative public document/workbook release for the core RippleLogic stack.

That means:

  • the main specification and core companions are version-synchronized
  • the workbook is calculable and publication-clean
  • the release can be pinned through hashes and manifests
  • GitHub and website publication can proceed without internal sync blockers

It does not mean that empirical superiority has been established, nor that the current package alone is a full replay-grade system release.

What Remains Outside This Claim Boundary

The following remain outside the claim boundary of the core freeze package alone:

  • full replay-grade validator/schema publication
  • optional executable companion assets
  • formal inter-rater reliability studies
  • controlled pilots and broader external validation
  • longer-horizon operational evidence

Contribution Priorities

The most valuable next contributions are:

  • independent implementation of the published Tier 1–3 logic surfaces
  • validator/schema publication and review
  • inter-rater reliability studies
  • controlled pilot designs
  • challenger audits of worked examples, workbook runs, and audit surfaces

See CONTRIBUTING.md for submission guidance.

Falsification and Revision Posture

RippleLogic remains a falsifiable governance framework. Freeze-readiness of the core release line does not remove the need for revision when empirical or adversarial evidence demonstrates failure, drift, loopholes, or poor predictive performance.

Future revisions should remain versioned, pinned, and auditable rather than silently mutating the v9.0 line.
