Public evidence basis

The status label describes maturity. This basis describes the public-safe support for that label; it is not a claim of public runtime proof.

  • Approved public-safe taxonomy and site-completion audit

Responsibilities

  • syn-ai-autophagy governs pruning and recycling under recovery checks.

What it receives

  • Bounded, documented inputs

What it produces

  • Inspectable, bounded outputs

Authority it does not have

  • Does not grant its own authority or certify its own claims.

How it can fail

  • Stale, incomplete, or misclassified state

Health signals

  • Evidence date, stated limits, and explicit operator review

Builder takeaway

Start with bounded inputs, explicit authority, inspectable outputs, and a recovery path; do not treat the analogy as proof of capability.

Limitations

  • Private implementation details and operating records are not published.
