A statement made to a mind is now three things kept apart: the observation
that it arrived, an append-only assertion (attributed actor, stance,
certainty, modality, negation, reported or quoted speech, hypothetical
status, interpretation confidence and notes), and, only for factual
assertions, one piece of evidence for a proposition belief attributed to
whoever actually stands behind it. Reported speech is attributed to the
person reported and weighed as second-hand; hypotheticals, questions and
imperatives create no belief; expressed doubt counts against; a possibly
sarcastic remark is recorded with low interpretation confidence rather
than guessed at. Interpretation is deterministic code; a model may enrich
the claim list but never sets stance or confidence.
Association no longer treats conversational turns as world events:
hypotheticals, questions, requests and consecutive turns by one speaker
cannot seed causal hypotheses.
Adds internal/epistemics, migration 0018, the assertions API, assertions
on belief pages and in belief detail, a shared end-to-end test harness
(tests/harness), end-to-end tests for eight speech patterns, and updates
the milestone test to the new provenance.
- snapshots: checksummed JSON archive of every mind-scoped state table plus
identity/personality/config and the event position; stored, downloadable
- fork: restore into a new mind with all ids remapped; event references are
kept so history before the fork is shared by reference
- export/import: same archive; import is hostile-input validated (size,
allow-listed tables, row caps, column names, checksum, forced mind_id)
- compare: deterministic counts, belief diffs by proposition, personality
and config diffs, event mix
- replay: Runtime.Step for synchronous drivers; sandbox fork driven one
stimulus at a time under a forbidden capability context; recorded model
responses via a replaying router; steps labelled exact / approximate /
diverged with recorded-vs-replayed digests
- experiments: definition (overrides, stimuli, expectations, seed, duration),
background run in a disabled subject mind, stored and exportable results
- migration 0015, API, UI (Snapshots and Replay tabs, Experiments section,
compare page), noemactl snapshots/compare/replay/experiments, docs
