VIS-LINEAGE-01PRESERVED FAILURE / BOUNDED SUCCESSORCorrection lineage

Correction Creates Successor Evidence

When an evaluator, task, or candidate is corrected, the original failure remains intact. The correction begins a new evidence branch with its own identity, scope, and burden of proof.

Correction Creates Successor Evidence evidence diagram

Governing rule

A correction may earn successor evidence. It cannot manufacture retroactive success.

Context

AlexOS encountered failed and invalid evaluation outcomes alongside defects in the institution doing the judging. Treating the corrected rerun as if the first result had passed would erase the event that justified the correction and blur which identity actually earned which result.

Current state

The original outcomes remain preserved. Corrected evaluators and candidates receive successor identities, and a later RC9-to-RC12 handoff earned one bounded mechanics pass. RC9 remains active; RC12 remains experimental; broader promotion remains withheld.

  • The original task, output, evaluator decision, and failure classification remain intact
  • The evaluator challenge is recorded rather than folded into the candidate score
  • A correction creates a distinct successor record
  • The bounded mechanics pass belongs only to the successor evidence
  • Authority does not transfer until the applicable successor checks are earned

Claim boundary

What remains unearned.

  • Not proof that the corrected evaluator is generally valid
  • Not a promotion of RC12
  • Not an erasure or reclassification of the original failure
  • Not independent validation
  • Not production readiness or automatic-routing authority
