ζ-Q6 R2-reframed T-box layering LOCKED φ.α’ α 3-layer status quo — 2026-05-01T03:57 BST

Decision

φ.α’ α 3-layer status quo (single PROV-O upper EL; OWL 2 EL middle per module; SROIQ application) locked under ω.α + ψ.γ’ + ε + G+ permanent. FIRST ζ.2 decision authored AFTER MQ-001 R2 reversal — validates the reversal-recovery pattern as load-bearing.

Why: Under R2 (single PROV-O upper, no multi-parent, no Prudhomme bridge), φ.γ’s T-box fragmentation justification (multi-parent reasoner-tax management) DISSOLVED. viii-3 multi-profile output achievable at OUTPUT level via single-source authoring + ROBOT derivation — same output, simpler authoring, ~£3-5K + 2-3 days saved. Recommendation FLIPPED ω.γ-context φ.γ → R2-context φ.α’.

How to apply: All Phase-3 module-authoring uses single-source per module + ROBOT OUTPUT-level multi-profile derivation. ε grounding work transfers cleanly to SSSOM TSV alignment-metadata rows. A-21 20 gates (no new gates). No new richard-tasks.

Configuration

Layer 2 middleOWL 2 EL per module — single-source authoring per module; SSSOM TSV alignment metadata for ε grounding
Layer 3 applicationSROIQ + Catala+Mopsa+Lean integration
viii-3 multi-profileOUTPUT-level ROBOT (robot reduce + robot extract + robot reason) → ~30 OWL artefacts at OUTPUT (not at T-box authoring)

Scoring (R2-reframed)

5 options against locked 14-criterion C frame: φ.α’ α 3-layer status quo 4.55 / φ.γ’ γ 3-layer + multi-profile T-box 4.45 / φ.ζ’ Phase-1 EL + Phase-2+ uplift 4.31 / φ.ε’ ε 5-layer profile-fragment 3.55 / φ.δ’ δ 2-layer collapse 3.36. φ.α’ wins 6/8 sensitivity perturbations. Margin to φ.γ’ = 0.10 (below 0.20 threshold but pattern reflects genuine option-closeness rather than architectural over-stretch — under R2 architecture is meaningfully simpler).

Cascade artefacts

  • arch-state Tier-1 v3.16 → v3.17 + A-132 amendment + Shape X §3 angle (v) row update
  • INDEX v2.7 → v2.8
  • 2026-04-18 architecture-options scorecard v2.5 → v2.6 status note
  • ζ-Q6 cascade file moved current-questions/ → answered-questions/ + status: ready-to-ask → answered + maturity: ready-to-ask-r2 → locked

Methodological observations

  • FIRST ζ.2 decision after a reversal validates the reversal-recovery pattern. Reversals are recoverable when prior locks are scoped (ε grounding work transferred cleanly to alignment metadata; ψ.γ commitments largely preserved as ψ.γ’).
  • Recommendation FLIP ω.γ-context φ.γ → R2-context φ.α’ demonstrates that fresh re-derivation under changed architectural context yields material new analysis.
  • Convergent decision pattern continues: 6 of 7 ζ.2-related decisions convergent (ζ-Q1 + ζ-Q3 + ζ-Q4 + ζ-Q5 + MQ-001 + ζ-Q6 R2-reframed; only ζ-Q2 G+ permanent was Rich-divergent).
  • viii-3 alignment via OUTPUT-level ROBOT: φ.α’ satisfies viii-3 lock by deriving outputs from single-source authoring (FIBO + Mondo + uPheno production-grade pattern). T-box-level multi-profile fragmentation not required.
  • Margin compression cluster (3 below-threshold) preceded reversal; post-reversal margin still below threshold but reflects option-closeness not over-stretch. Going forward: distinguish margin compression from over-stretch via per-decision honest analysis.

Honest caveats

  • Phase-1.5 reasoner-tax validation richard-tasks #193 retired under MQ-001 R2 — no multi-parent regime; reasoner pass times return to baseline ~22s DL (vs ~32s under ω.γ).
  • Phase-2+ uplift to T-box-level multi-profile (φ.γ’ or φ.ε’) remains optionality if Phase-2+ evidence justifies — covered by richard-tasks #196 trigger conditions.
  • 5-year TCO under φ.α’ ~£12K vs φ.γ’ £28K (£16K savings).
