22-spike Spike 4 ζ-Q5 alignment-axiom strength cascade-Q authoring CLOSED 2026-05-03
Outcome
outcome-VALIDATED on strict reading per refined-prompt v3.7. Kill-condition NOT-MET: Q-005 cascade-Q fits κ.θ-LITE 12-criterion v3.7 META-frame cleanly (Bass 4e utility-tree + ASR scenarios + AHP weights placeholder + ISO 25010 sub-mapping + BEA 2e fitness functions + LLM-evaluable scenarios all accommodated). AHP-readiness check passes for 11 of 12 criteria (criterion 4 MCDA-SOTA BORDERLINE per Spike 3 finding).
What was framed
6-option set κ.α-κ.ζ derived against Q-004 ω.η lock:
- κ.α — Strict-exactMatch-only (NARROWER than ω.η; partial retraction); Wsum 3.33
- κ.β — exactMatch + closeMatch only (subset of ω.η; rejects relatedMatch); Wsum 3.83
- κ.γ — All 3 SKOS predicates maturity-graded per A-55 reuse (matches ω.η §2.2 verbatim); Wsum 4.42 (strong fallback)
- κ.δ ★ — κ.γ + SSSOM 1.1 curation_rule reserved column (forward-looking); Wsum 4.67 (provisional Claude pick at unweighted-equal allocation)
- κ.ε — κ.δ + per-source per-predicate split (Mondo precedent at 73 TSVs / 109K rows per S7); Wsum 3.75
- κ.ζ — Rich-defined TBD escape hatch; common synthesis candidates absorbed (κ.γ-Phase-1 / κ.δ-trigger-Phase-1.5; κ.δ-mandated-Phase-1; κ.ε-Year-2-only)
Margin: κ.δ ★ → κ.γ second: 0.25 (NOT sensitivity-borderline at 0.20 threshold). 8 sensitivity perturbations: 6/8 favour κ.δ; 2/8 favour κ.γ (criteria 8 Phase-2-timeline ×2 + criterion 5 AI-arch-eval ÷2). κ.γ strong fallback.
Cumulative-state alignment
Cumulative-state §1 pre-stages essentially κ.γ + curation_rule reserved at A-131 ε.ι formal amendment landing. cumulative-state §3.2.5 confirms “curation_rule reserved-Phase-1 / first-rows-Phase-1.5+” pattern. Q-005 lock activates A-131 cascade.
Plan defect surfaced + INLINE-FIXED in v1.22
THIRD v3.7 Candidate 6 PRE-RESOLUTION defect-class detection in 22-spike suite (after Spike 2 MQ-numbering + Spike 3 design-spec angles enumeration + Spike 8 9-class enumeration + Spike 9 placeholder DOI = 6th defect across 5 spikes).
Plan §3 Task 4 Step 6 said “Stage arch-state §11 row” but §11 is closed-derisking-spikes ε.ι (per v3.31 changelog); 22-spike methodological foundation + forthcoming-Q-formulation rows belong in §13. Same defect at Task 5 Step 5 + Step 7 (Spike 5 next inline). All 3 §11 references corrected to §13 inline this commit per REFERENCE-recommended consolidation.
Empirical signal supports promoting v3.7 Candidate 6 from “candidate” to “locked” in next refined-prompt revision (~50% defect-detection rate per spike on plan-file-pre-resolution sub-class).

Q-005-zeta-alignment-axiom-strength.mdv1.0 (300 lines / 25 KB / 11 sections + CHANGELOG; 6-option scoring matrix; per-option architectural-commitments + cost-rows + sensitivity-perturbations + pre-mortem + reversal-readiness + open-tensions + cross-links + sources) — docs-strategy commit81d27c8(push DONE; CURRENT-AWAITING-ANSWER status until Rich locks). - arch-state: v3.36 → v3.37 §13 row Q-and-A-S4 APPENDED below Q-and-A-S3 above Q-and-A-S18 + new Changelog row.
- INDEX.md: v2.6 → v2.7 Phase 2 asked_so_far 4 → 5; answered_so_far stays 4.
- Plan: v1.21 → v1.22 §0 Spike 4 checkbox ticked + lastmod 13:30 → 13:50 + new CHANGELOG entry + INLINE plan defect-fix (3 §11 → §13 corrections at Task 4 Step 6 + Task 5 Step 5 + Task 5 Step 7).
- NO docs-personal commit (no richard-task disposition for forthcoming-Q-formulation spike per parent CLAUDE.md §6; richard-task implications surface at Rich’s lock-time).
Companion T-files cited (~50% effort-saving validated)
- T5 SKOS+XKOS+CMNS-notes.md v0.2 — top Tier 2 hit Q1 sim 0.806 (SKOS exactMatch / closeMatch / relatedMatch + Pattern 4 ELI/EuroVoc precedent)
- T10 SSSOM-notes.md v1.0 — sims 0.741-0.784 (5 of top 8 Q1; SSSOM 1.0/1.1 curation_rule + Mondo Feb 2026 transition + sssom-py + sssom-java + ROBOT plugin production toolchain)
- T18 BIOLINK-MODEL-notes.md v1.0 — alignment patterns + federally-funded-consortium adoption pattern + 99% PRs touch single YAML + qualifier-refactor lessons-learned
- T12 EXTERNAL-ONTOLOGIES-notes.md v1.0 — A-22 iv-3 alignment-matrix tier rationale + FIBO 2025/Q4 + OMG Commons 1.3 beta + LADM Edition-II + BFO 2020 ISO 21838-2:2020 stable
Tier 2 surfaced (NOT in original read-first list): T50 sim 0.793 (combinatorial-explosion warning at 50K+ alignment axioms in cross-jurisdiction symmetric-bridges; flagged for Phase-1.5+ revisit) + T8 sim 0.770 (sssom:inject + MIREOT extraction patterns).
Cross-repo ref restructuring per Q-001 _external_ref pattern
Q-005 frontmatter restructured: cross-repo paths (off-github) moved out of companion_files: block to top-level _external_ref keys without pin_kind: per Q-001 t82_external_ref + wr_external_ref pattern. Avoids pin-drift hook workspace-only false-positives.
Reconsideration trigger preserved
AHP weights at richard-task #205 may shift winner — particularly criterion 11 (Q-004 consistency) is potentially load-bearing for κ.γ/κ.δ tie at AHP-applied weighting; T-file is starting reference. Per ζ-Q1 §3 richard-task #205 ~90-min AHP session pending; per Spike 3 finding criterion 4 MCDA-SOTA is BORDERLINE on AHP weight-stability.
Methodological observation
11th spike of 22-spike suite to close (after Spikes 1 + 12 + 18 + 22 + 2 + 21 + 3 + 8 + 9 + 10); FIRST forthcoming-Q-formulation spike (Group 2 Spike 4); Batch B SPIKE-RUNNER session 7 inline-paired with Spike 5 ζ-Q15 NEW Wills follow-through (Spike 5 follows immediately same session per Batch B Option B smart-batching).
NEXT (this session)
Spike 5 ζ-Q15 NEW Wills follow-through (Batch B second-half) inline same session. T56+T2+T63+T49 read-first per plan §3 Task 5 read-first list; ~30% effort saved. Q-015 cascade-Q file authoring under refined-prompt v3.7 META-frame.
Plan v1.22 → v1.23 patch candidate flagged for next session: §3 Task 5 Step 5 + Step 7 §11 → §13 corrections ALREADY applied this commit (preempted Spike 5’s defect-detection).
