III. THEORY ROADMAP#

Main Theorem (Conditional Stability with Quantile Gates)#

Theorem: LOGOS Stability with Regime-Stratified Quantile Gates

Given a topological constraint graph G with ONN dynamics T = T_proj ∘ T_consensus, under assumptions A1'-A8' (upgraded):

• If off-diagonal coupling magnitude satisfies: ‖M_off‖₂ ≤ m_off^95 (quantile) with P ≥ 0.95
• And diagonal component satisfies: μ_diag < 1/(1 + κ_off) where κ_off = η_off^95 · m_off^95
• Then the system remains stable with delay-amplification envelope Γ̂

Scope: Local-in-time, regime-conditional, finite-sample (not global, not unconditional)

Status: PLAUSIBLE (empirical validation pending, see Phase 6 tasks)

Supporting Lemmas (Lemma Forge)#

Assumptions (Original → Upgraded)#

Counterexample Families (Empirical Validity Tests)#

Proof Routes (Multiple Paths per Target)#

For Main Theorem (Stability):

1. Route A: Small-gain + quantile envelope (CHOSEN, deployable inequality, conservative)
2. Route B: Lyapunov/ISS framework (higher complexity, explicit margins)
3. Route C: Averaged operator/Krasovskii (cleaner convergence, weaker delay interpretation)

For L5-L6 (Fiber Jacobian):

1. Route 1: Spectral decomposition along fiber basis (operator-theoretic)
2. Route 2: Loss-based contraction (stochastic convergence)

For L7-L8 (Mixing Correction):

1. Route 1: Mixing coefficient ψ_max adjustment to DKW (chosen)
2. Route 2: Conformal quantiles (distribution-free, conservative)

IV. VERIFIED CLAIMS vs. CONJECTURES#

Claimed and PROVED#

• C1: Projection-consensus descent (operator-theoretic)
• C6: Leakage inflation inequality derivation
• C10: Benchmark reproducibility after constructor fix (59/59 vs 0/59 baseline)

Claimed and PLAUSIBLE (Empirically Supported, Proof in Progress)#

• C2: Local contraction if Lip(T_ONN) < 1 (Jacobian bounds verified on 1K-100K)
• C4: Delay-robust boundedness (estimated empirically, bounds conservative)
• C5: Diagonal structured-μ gate sufficiency (numerical validation)

Claimed but NEEDS-EXPERIMENT (High Confidence, Validation Pending)#

• C3: Topology-conditioned robustness under noise
• C7: Quantile leakage replacement with m_off^95 (finite-sample transfer risk)
• C8: Two-stage gate lowers false accepts vs. single threshold
• C9: Combined ONN+ORTSF certificate (CONJECTURE, joint violation risk)

Key Falsifiers#

V. OPEN RESEARCH PROBLEMS#

VI. CI GATES (P1-P3) & DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST#

What Needs Validation Before Deployment#

⚠ Regime drift detector (A3') calibration on real system logs ⚠ Quantile transfer robustness across topology regimes ⚠ Delay amplification envelope measurement (system-specific) ⚠ False-accept/false-reject rate audit on representative traces ⚠ Monitor lag vs. instability onset calibration

Phase 6+ Work (Theory Empirical Validation)#

2. Measure system-specific Γ̂ (delay amplification envelope)
3. Calibrate drift detector and quantile thresholds for target deployment regime
