VERSION / V4.7

Cosmos

Advance candidates that are closer to being tested

Historical protocol & software prototype

Cosmos uses stage-bucket scheduling to connect mechanism, experiment, attack and candidate stages, reducing the starvation of later-stage nodes by exploration scores. It also tightens model-field coverage, ledger identity binding and renewed refutation after repairs.

Philosophy

Exploration needs breadth and progress toward a testable question. Promotion should depend on supplied core fields, and a repaired idea should not inherit its predecessor’s ledger unchecked.

Architecture & control flow

  1. 01

    Prioritize later-stage nodes, then rank within a stage by unfinished actions, coverage bonuses and exploration terms.

  2. 02

    Track provenance coverage across five core candidate fields to limit seed-filled content being labeled model-generated.

  3. 03

    Reject foreign or stale UUID ledger bindings and route repaired candidates through renewed refutation and review.

  4. 04

    Preserve low-confidence mathematics–physics mappings rather than assigning internal confirmed_novel without sufficient criticism and responses.

Architecture outline derived from this version’s control flow.

What this version changes

Compared with Galaxy, adds stage scheduling, core-field provenance audits, strict UUID binding and a ledger lifecycle for repairs.

Implementation & evidence scope

The candidate path is primarily tested with simulated calls, and later documentation identifies remaining scheduling randomness. The mathematics–physics bridge lacks complete live literature retrieval; internal confirmed_novel is not independent proof of scientific novelty.

Code & bundled material

The introduction draws on bundled notes, changelogs and central code. Software tests, synthetic diagnostics and scientific effectiveness use different evidence standards.
