Epistemic Honesty Grindstone (W-Axis Framework)
ID: EPISTEMIC-HONESTY-2
This module formalizes the refined W-axis Epistemic Honesty Grindstone framework
for distinguishing between high-fidelity reasoning and "hallucinatory leakage."
The W-axis serves as the coordinate system for Intellectual Humility with a
three-boundary taxonomy for metalogic monitoring:
1. Gödel Boundary (I_F) - Incompleteness: Truth outruns proof in system F
- Condition: q ∈ True(N) but F ⊬ q
- W-Gate: U (Underspecified/Unprovable in F)
- Honesty Output: "The statement is independent of the system F"
2. Descent Boundary (D(r)) - Well-foundedness violation: Infinite decrease in N
- Condition: Proof route r implies n₀ > n₁ > n₂ > … in N
- W-Gate: X (Forbidden/Category Error)
- Honesty Output: "The proposed logic violates the well-foundedness of the natural numbers"
3. Scope Boundary (S(F,r)) - Missing tools: F lacks axioms/higher-order tools
- Condition: F lacks the axioms or higher-order tools (e.g., modular forms) required by route r
- W-Gate: U (Underspecified Toolkit)
- Honesty Output: "The proof requires tools not defined in the current scope"
Proof Pressure Equation:
W(q,F,r) = α·I_F(q) + β·D(r) + γ·S(F,r)
Where α, β, γ represent the "epistemic weight" of each boundary violation.
The framework prevents "semantic laundering" where undefined residue is promoted
to standard fact, and serves as a precise instrument for metalogic monitoring.
STATUS: REFINED
WARNING:
- This is a refined framework with mathematical rigor for epistemic classification
- It provides more than a "don't lie to me" value by formalizing category boundaries
- It is intended as a verification layer over semantic reasoning systems
- It distinguishes between "hard to prove," "impossible," and "undecidable"

EpistemicCategory: classification of claims by epistemic status (W-Gate).
The W-Gate categorizes every proposition by its Epistemic Signature:
- R (Standard-Resolvable): Derivable via standard logic/math
Examples: 2+2=4, ∇⋅B=0
- S (Speculative/Modelable): Hypothetical but follows coherent internal logic
Examples: "If we treat A as B...", semantic Higgs mechanism
- U (Underspecified): Valid logic but missing parameters
Examples: "The result depends on the unknown constant k"
- P (Patamathematical): Purely metaphorical or symbolic
Examples: "The chocolate boson of debt"
- X (Forbidden/Category Error): Logically impossible or nonsensical
Examples: "The color of the number five", physical Higgs coupling for imaginary numbers
-/
inductive EpistemicCategory where
| standardResolvable -- R: Derivable via standard logic/math

EpistemicSignature: a claim tagged with its epistemic category and confidence.
Each claim must pass the W-Gate pre-computation step before being accepted

Honesty metric: quantifies the model's integrity by preventing
"semantic laundering" — promotion of undefined residue to standard fact.
H_W = 1 - FalseReal(u_W → u_R) / (TotalClaims + ε)
Where:

- FalseReal: Count of category errors where speculative/undefined material
is presented as standard-resolvable
- ε: Small constant to prevent division by zero
A high H_W indicates proper boundary management between epistemic categories.

W-Gate verification: check if a claim's category matches its presentation.
A claim is "category error" if it is presented as standard-resolvable (R)
but its actual category is speculative (S), underspecified (U),
patamathematical (P), or forbidden (X).
This is the core mechanism for detecting "semantic laundering."

Task: Prove FLT using only elementary descent.
Corrected Classification under Refined W-axis Rules:

X (Descent Violation): Any attempt to claim a single descent chain covers all n.
Claim: "A single infinite descent proof covers all n>2"
Category: Forbidden (X) - Descent Boundary

Fermat-FAMM Ascent Framework
This is the dual of infinite descent: unresolved contradiction is not forced
downward into impossibility, but lifted upward through frustration memory until
a missing invariant, adapter, or formal boundary is exposed.
Core equation: P_{k+1} = Lift(P_k + η·∇F(P_k))
Where:
- P_k: Current problem representation
- F(P_k): Unresolved contradiction / route friction / torsion stress
- η: Ascent rate
- Lift: Move to a higher representational layer
- P_{k+1}: Next lifted problem state
Inverted descent gradient:
- Descent: n_{k+1} < n_k (decreasing numbers)
- FAMM Ascent: C(P_{k+1}) > C(P_k) (increasing capacity)
where C is representational capacity, dimension, or semantic resolution.
FAMMState: state of a problem during Fermat-FAMM ascent.
Tracks:
- problem: Current problem representation
- frustration: Torsion / contradiction pressure
- routeCost: Failed route trace cost
- wResidue: Unresolved W-axis residue
- capacity: Representational capacity / dimension / semantic resolution

productiveAscent: A valid ascent step increases capacity while decreasing or maintaining W-residue.
