PURECheck

Observational four-axis PURE viability check

Definition

Mechanism

A Check specialization of the PURE framework for a candidate Subject. Evaluate the same subject and evidence snapshot independently through Parsimony, Novelty, Realizable, and Expansive, with each axis isolated from every other axis's verdict and reasoning. Apply the corresponding Criteria, Criteria, Criteria, or Criteria to convert each axis finding into its named Status, Status, Status, or Status, then return those four results and their conjunctive Status to the caller.

Invariants

Completeness: Each run returns Status, Status, Status, and Status; no axis is skipped after an earlier failure.
Isolation: Every axis evaluates the same unchanged Subject and evidence snapshot in an isolated evaluation context that excludes every other axis's verdict and reasoning.
Criterion Mapping: Each axis status is Verified when its accepted criterion is met, Falsified when that criterion is not met, and Unknown when the available evidence cannot establish either result.
Non-Compensation: Status is Verified iff all four axis statuses are Verified; it is Falsified if any is Falsified, and Unknown otherwise.
Determinism: The same Subject, four criteria, evidence snapshot, evaluator state, and seed yield the same five statuses.
Observational: Running the check does not mutate Subject, write remediation debt, or alter caller control flow.
