Evidence Contract

This project is intentionally audit-first. Every visible claim should point to a local artifact that a reader can inspect before trusting the dashboard.

Claim	Current evidence	Status	Boundary
The public Xperience-10M sample has been converted into aligned model windows.	results/episode_task_suite/windows.csv, results/episode_task_suite/shared_windows.npz, results/episode_task_suite/summary_report.json	Verified for 5,821 frames and 1,161 windows	One public sample episode only
The current feature contract is explicit and reviewable.	results/episode_task_suite/feature_manifest.json, results/episode_task_suite/available_modalities.json	Verified for an 8,378-d feature vector	Audio is present in MP4 streams but not yet a feature block
The 12 task heads are real scripts and artifacts, not presentation placeholders.	scripts/episode_task_suite.py, results/episode_task_suite/*/metrics.json, results/episode_task_suite/*/predictions.*	Verified for all 12 task definitions	Chronological single-episode split, not cross-episode generalization
Minimal and neural heads use the same task contracts.	scripts/neural_task_models.py, results/episode_task_suite/neural_mlp/, docs/assets/task_architectures.png	Verified for 12 minimal heads and 12 neural MLP heads	Small heads only; not a foundation model
Four Ropedia research directions are mapped honestly as direct, proxy, or diagnostic evidence.	results/episode_task_suite/research_directions/research_direction_taxonomy.json, docs/data/research_directions.json	Verified taxonomy	Some directions remain proxy-only
Four extra direction probes are coded and evaluated.	results/episode_task_suite/research_direction_extensions/research_direction_extension_results.json, docs/data/research_direction_extensions.json	Verified single-episode probes	Not full human modeling, neural rendering, intent modeling, or world modeling solutions
Qwen3-Omni infrastructure has passed technical smoke checks.	results/omni_finetune/RUN_REPORT.md, results/omni_finetune/dataset_manifest.json, results/omni_finetune/metrics_eval.json	Smoke-only evidence	One episode, 128 train windows; not a 32-episode pilot
The real 32-episode LoRA pilot is blocked on gated data access, not on repo presentation.	results/omni_finetune/DATA_BLOCKER_REPORT.md, results/omni_finetune/A100_HF_RELAY_STATUS.md, results/omni_finetune/source_discovery.json	Blocker documented	No 32-episode metric should be claimed until the gate passes
The public GitHub and Hugging Face bundles are publication-clean.	scripts/validate_publication_package.py, docs/data/publication_audit.json	Verified pass	Checks public files and HF bundles, not arbitrary ignored local scratch outputs
The core proof artifacts are indexed for fast review.	scripts/build_artifact_index.py, docs/data/artifact_index.json	Verified index	Selective source-of-truth catalog, not a complete inventory of every output file
The project is externally citable and machine-readable.	CITATION.cff, codemeta.json, docs/data/project_manifest.json, LICENSE	Verified metadata files	Code license does not override original Xperience-10M dataset terms
A first-time reviewer has an explicit audit path.	docs/data/reviewer_packet.json, website reviewer section, README reviewer path	Verified reviewer packet	It guides inspection; it does not add new experimental claims

Review Order

1. Read docs/data/reviewer_packet.json for the shortest audit path and proof boundary.
2. Read docs/data/artifact_index.json to see the indexed proof artifacts, sizes, and stable-file hashes.
3. Read docs/assets/task_suite_infographic.png for the high-level map.
4. Inspect results/episode_task_suite/summary_report.json for the task and metric source of truth.
5. Inspect results/episode_task_suite/feature_manifest.json to see which modalities enter the current feature vector.
6. Inspect results/episode_task_suite/neural_mlp/ to compare minimal and neural heads under the same splits.
7. Inspect results/omni_finetune/DATA_BLOCKER_REPORT.md before interpreting any Qwen3-Omni artifact.
8. Inspect docs/data/publication_audit.json before publishing or sharing the project externally.
9. Inspect CITATION.cff, codemeta.json, and LICENSE before reusing or citing the project.
