Phase 7 Addendum — Post-Phase-8 Confidence Re-rating — 2026-05-05

Run summary

Per CLAUDE.md schema, Phase 7 has a post-Phase-8 confidence addendum because synthetic-layer assembly can change confidence values. This addendum re-rates concept-page and claim-entry confidence after the Phase 8 eighth run (γ-implementation + Step 8.9 cite-back + Step 8.5 first-wave) completed at 2026-05-05.

Phase 8 sub-reports as inputs: synthetic-layer-2026-05-05-eighth-run-gamma.md, synthetic-layer-2026-05-05-eighth-run-citeback.md, synthetic-layer-2026-05-05-eighth-run-step85.md, plus the consolidated synthetic-layer-2026-05-05-eighth-run.md.

Claim confidence ratings — zero delta

Walked all 81 claim entries. No confidence ratings changed:

  • science-secrete-stiftung-chiasm (now contested, medium) — confidence stays medium despite the status change. The contested status reflects evidential under-support of the four-element joint operation in MP's published corpus, not a confidence-revision in the wiki's representation of that thesis. The wiki's representation is now properly framed as contested rather than supported, which is more accurate than before; confidence captures representational accuracy, which has not degraded.

  • mp-painter-as-primary-witness-for-indirect-ontology (NEW, live, medium) — created at medium. Promotion to high would require sustained engagement with Saint Aubert 2006 Vers une ontologie indirecte (not in raw/) which may corroborate or qualify the painter-as-primary-witness specificity at the level of late-MP's indirect-ontology architecture. Stays medium for this run.

  • 6 supported claims — circulus-vitiosus-deus-mp-ontology-of-ontology, coherent-deformation-universal-operative-form, ingested-corpus-four-element-gap, malraux-schema-precedes-mp-coherent-deformation-philological-refinement, sb-1942-kinetic-melody-origin, valery-mauvaises-pensees-attribution — all stay at medium. The Payoff expansions on coherent-deformation-universal-operative-form and ingested-corpus-four-element-gap clarify what each claim contributes under γ but do not shift evidential basis or confidence.

  • 9 δ-affected halt-pending claims (kaushik-stiftung-literary-frame, taddio-secret-science-as-gestalt-perception, cryptic-institution-extends-beith, ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy, ineinander-universalizes-institution, faul-institutional-camp, time-as-late-mp-privileged-ontological-clue, mp-1942-already-prefigures-late-sedimentation, plus the contested science-secrete-stiftung-chiasm itself) — Counterpressure / cross-reference framings updated under γ; confidence ratings unchanged. The HALT framing for supported promotion is durable until γ-decision propagation completes.

Concept-page confidence ratings — zero delta

Walked the 8 δ-affected concept pages (γ-rewrites) plus the 7 Step 8.5 pages plus the ~17 cite-back-augmented pages. No confidence ratings changed:

  • 8 δ-affected pages ([[science-secrete]], [[coherent-deformation]], [[chiasm]], [[stiftung]], [[indirect-ontology]], [[fundamental-thought-in-art]], [[institution]], [[ineinander]]) — the rewrites are framing updates aligned to γ; they don't shift evidential basis. The wiki's representation of each concept is now post-γ accurate. Confidence ratings (high / medium) stay where they were.

  • 7 Step 8.5 first-wave pages ([[systeme-d-equivalences]], [[indirect-language]], [[hyper-dialectic]], [[hyper-reflection]], [[flesh-as-element]], [[wild-being]], [[sedimentation]]) — the new optional sections (What the Concept Does / What It Rejects / Stakes / Problem-Space) fill out the wiki's interpretive base on already-established concepts. They strengthen the schema but don't introduce new evidence; existing confidence ratings are preserved.

  • ~17 cite-back-augmented pages — cite-back additions are textual cross-references to claims; they don't shift evidential basis on the receiving page.

  • [[simone-de-beauvoir]] (NEW entity stub) — created at medium confidence with explicit raw-absence acknowledgment in Open Questions. Confidence stays medium until Beauvoir's Le deuxième sexe enters raw/.

Aggregate

  • Total claim entries: 81 (6 supported / 43 live / 31 candidate / 1 contested / 0 retired).
  • Total concept-page confidence changes: 0.
  • Total claim-entry confidence changes: 0.

The Phase 7 addendum is therefore zero-delta for this run beyond the new-creation confidence assignment for mp-painter-as-primary-witness-for-indirect-ontology (medium at creation) and the new entity stub [[simone-de-beauvoir]] (medium at creation).

Notes for future maintainers

The successor claim's medium → high pathway requires:

  • Saint Aubert 2006 Vers une ontologie indirecte ingest, OR
  • Sustained external-corpus engagement with the late-MP painter-corpus secondary literature beyond what is currently in raw/.

Any future Phase 8 run that promotes mp-painter-as-primary-witness-for-indirect-ontology to supported must satisfy the 5-test gate against the strongest counter-position, which is δ's universality finding: "the painter is not uniquely a primary witness; sculpture, literature, and other expressive registers operate the same coherent-deformation logic." The successor claim's payoff is the primacy claim, not the uniqueness claim, so the supported promotion must clarify what primacy adds beyond one-among-several.

Verbatim block (items 1–10)

  1. Scope: post-Phase-8 confidence re-rating across all 81 claims and ~30 affected concept/source/entity pages (8 δ-affected, 7 Step 8.5, ~17 cite-back-augmented, 1 new entity).
  2. Files inspected: claims.md (full); the 8 δ-affected concept pages; the 7 Step 8.5 pages; the entity stub simone-de-beauvoir.md; the 3 Phase 8 sub-reports + consolidated eighth-run report.
  3. Raw sources inspected: none (Phase 7 addendum operates on artifacts).
  4. Claims or pages affected: 0 confidence changes.
  5. Findings ranked: zero delta. The γ-implementation accomplishes its work at the framing level; evidential basis hasn't shifted.
  6. Evidence anchors: each concept page's existing extraction-note anchors remain intact; γ-rewrites do not introduce new citations.
  7. Recommended action: report-only; no further confidence re-rating.
  8. Cross-references: this addendum is a companion to synthetic-layer-2026-05-05-eighth-run.md and phase-7-initial-2026-05-05.md.
  9. Confidence/status before → after: zero changes beyond the H_synth status (live → contested per Phase 8) and the two new-creation confidence assignments (successor claim and Beauvoir entity, both medium at creation).
  10. Report only — Lead writes; no further sub-agent edits required.
