Verify — "Are the claims true?"¶
Mindset: Auditor. The RF is a declaration, not a fact. Min verify ratio:
0.42RF files claimed: 5 distinct paths Minimum files:ceil(5 × 0.42) = 3Files actually verified: 5/5 (100%)
Verification Log¶
V1: .tfw/README.md¶
- RF claim: rewritten as a problem-led 1,548-word, 105-line English Project North Star with selected Trace, human/agent authority, methodology architecture, proportional Editions,
NS1–NS3, and authority routing. - Actual: full source inspection confirms the stated narrative order and content. Independent counts return 1,548 words and 105 lines; all nine local link occurrences resolve; explicit IDs
ns1,ns2, andns3occur exactly once; private labels F1–F4/R1 occur zero times. - Match: ✅
V2: README.md¶
- RF claim: only the TFW-55 Task Board control row changed; public prose did not.
- Actual:
git diff c5da85e..cada005 -- README.mdcontains one removed row and one replacement row for TFW-55, moving the task from approved TS to RF and adding ONB/RF links. No public-prose hunk exists. - Match: ✅
V3: ONB__phase-a__canonical_foundation_essay.md¶
- RF claim: onboarding records understanding, source citations, risks, claim conflicts, and no blocker before production work.
- Actual: commit
c67deafcontains the ONB and the corresponding Task Board transition before delivery commitcada005. The ONB states no blocking question, records the exact baselines, lists the scope guardrails, and resolves source-versus-contract differences without modifying the contract. - Match: ✅
V4: evidence/EV__phase-a__canonical_foundation_essay.md¶
- RF claim: EV contains nine AC mappings, twenty claim dispositions, purpose and authority tests, before/final counts, link/anchor output, the BoK completeness check, and consistent N/A evidence statuses.
- Actual: full inspection finds all nine gate verdicts, C1–C20, two purpose tests, four authority scenarios, the 1,575/165 → 1,548/105 ledger, raw 9-link/3-anchor outputs, BoK ontology/contradiction/hypothesis/risk checks, and 9/9 TS-prescribed N/A evidence rows. No unresolved field is present.
- Match: ✅
V5: RF__phase-a__canonical_foundation_essay.md¶
- RF claim: execution is complete, all nine ACs pass, applicable master DoD/DoF are accounted for, evidence is 9 N/A with 9 document-gate passes, and no out-of-scope observation exists.
- Actual: the RF includes all required §§1–9, agrees with the actual diff and EV, accurately distinguishes Phase A-applicable master items from Phase B/future items, and does not claim live or human-effect evidence.
- Match: ✅
Acceptance Criteria Re-check¶
| AC | Independent result | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| AC-1 | PASS | Opening establishes disappearing intellectual work before mechanics; What TFW is states Philosophy of Trace → methodology → realizations, the repository role, and the owner-positioning limit. |
| AC-2 | PASS | Trace exclusions, Goal/Value/Question/Task/Context/Boundaries, result/current state, continuation/close, and proportional assurance are present without F1–F4/R1 labels. |
| AC-3 | PASS | Exact prose retains purpose, authority, judgment, acceptance, accountability, stop responsibility, bounded agent authority, sufficient-not-total understanding, observability limits, and contextual memory interests. |
| AC-4 | PASS | ns1, ns2, ns3 each occur once; purpose, six operational principles, and all six required non-goals are substantive and support the aligned/excessive proposal decisions. |
| AC-5 | PASS | Baseline overclaims are removed or qualified; Iteration 2 supports the no-novelty/category limit; Taylorism and field-effect claims are absent. |
| AC-6 | PASS | All six operational self-description questions are present with non-consciousness/non-authority limits; Editions are proportional and the teaching route is explicitly bounded. |
| AC-7 | PASS | North Star, current mechanics, history/evidence corpus, and future subordinate BoK each have one destination; no working Obsidian path or new authority surface appears. |
| AC-8 | PASS | 1,548 ≤ 2,000 words; 105 lines; problem-led heading order; 9/9 local links; 3/3 stable IDs; no mechanics catalog, installation guide, changelog, or BoK outline. |
| AC-9 | PASS | EV supplies complete mappings, ledgers, raw retake, subtraction accounting, BoK boundary, valid statuses, and no unfinished field. |
Commands Executed¶
| # | Command / check | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | git diff --name-status c5da85e..cada005 and both git show --stat calls |
PASS — five expected paths; ONB precedes delivery; no foreign path committed. |
| 2 | Contract drift diffs against a60bc6d and c5da85e |
PASS — master HL, Phase HL, and TS unchanged. |
| 3 | Independent PowerShell whitespace word and line counts | PASS — final 1,548/105; baseline 1,575/165; net −27/−60. |
| 4 | Independent Markdown local-link and fragment checker | PASS — 9 link occurrences, 0 failures; README.md#task-board resolves. |
| 5 | Explicit-ID and private-label census | PASS — ns1/ns2/ns3 each 1; F1–F4/R1 public labels 0. |
| 6 | git diff --check c5da85e..cada005 |
PASS — no whitespace errors. |
| 7 | Focused placeholder and prohibited-claim scans | PASS — no unfinished template field; prohibited concepts appear only as explicit exclusions/qualifications. |
| 8 | Knowledge citation link and item checker | PASS — 14/14 HL links and 14/14 ONB links resolve; 37/37 cited knowledge facts exist. |
| 9 | Owner-source filesystem and content check | PASS — nine mini-essays, architecture note, and BoK v0.1 all exist; sampled architecture/status claims match. |
The configured build commands are echo placeholders and do not test a Markdown essay. They were not treated as evidence; the TS-defined document gates above were re-run instead.
Claim & Source Checks¶
| # | Claim / citation checked | Where it appears | Traces to | Holds? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Philosophy of Trace grounds TFW methodology; workflows are realizations; this repository is one realization | .tfw/README.md, What TFW is |
Master amendment A3 at a60bc6d; owner architecture note lines describing Философия Следа, Методика TFW, and Реализация, или workflow |
✅ |
| C2 | methodology is owner positioning, not a research-proven new category or component invention |
.tfw/README.md, What TFW is |
RES Iteration 2 D2, D4, D5 and conclusion: component novelty refuted; category word underdetermined | ✅ |
| C3 | Light → Assisted → Full is one bounded founder-led route, not proven superior pedagogy or field effect | .tfw/README.md, Proportional realizations |
RES Iteration 2 D7, D9, Q5, H4 and RES Iteration 1 D8 | ✅ |
The numeric baseline/final counts were also checked against their primary Git/file states rather than accepted from RF.
Discrepancies Found¶
No discrepancies.
Evidence Verification¶
The mandatory EV artifact exists and was fully audited even though all live-evidence fields are N/A.
| # | RF Evidence ref | Artifact exists? | Matches claim? |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | evidence/EV__phase-a__canonical_foundation_essay.md | ✅ | ✅ — nine TS evidence fields are N/A, nine EV evidence rows are N/A, and nine separate document gates pass. |
Evidence completeness and evidence sufficiency are separate here: the EV completely records the applicable document checks; those checks establish the Markdown/source-accounting claims, but they do not establish human comprehension, learning, adoption, correctness, or field effect. The essay and RF explicitly avoid those claims.
Knowledge Citations Verified¶
| # | Citation | Link resolves? | Item exists? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Root README landing / Editions / Quick Start / Task Board | ✅ | ✅ |
| 2 | .tfw/README.md prior philosophy paper |

| 16 | Owner architecture note | filesystem source | ✅ — file and sampled architecture clauses exist. |
| 17 | Owner BoK v0.1 | filesystem source | ✅ — file contains explicit hypothesis/open-status markers. |
The HL and ONB each carry the same 17-item cascade. All 14 Markdown links in each artifact resolve; the three owner-local filesystem sources also exist. Total citation items: 17; verified: 17; hallucinations: 0.
KNOWLEDGE.md Consistency¶
No contradiction found. In particular, D2/D35 support surface separation, D52–D54 support evidence and adapter boundaries, D55 limits commit attribution, D56–D60 bound Editions and capability claims, D61 requires the universal ten-row review, D63 protects the contract baseline, and D64 requires the cited Purpose Check used in Judge.
