H5 + SELECTIVE_H4 · three planes · F01–F15 visible

Research hierarchy

Leading architecture is H5 with selective H4 controls. Epistemic, execution, and security-containment planes are non-collapsible. Tagmata remains SOURCE_GAP. F01–F15 stay permanently visible.

Leading architecture

H5 + SELECTIVE_H4

H5 is the leading hierarchical architecture for bounded multi-agent coordination with explicit plane separation. SELECTIVE_H4 retains H4 controls where they remain necessary for containment and non-transitive authority — not a full H4 rollback.

H5 ≠ automatic claim promotion
SELECTIVE_H4 ≠ live firewall validated
Hierarchy diagram ≠ closed historical Stammbaum

Non-collapsible

Three planes

EPISTEMIC≠EXECUTION≠SECURITY_CONTAINMENT

Collapse of any two planes is MATERIAL_SYMBIOSIS_DEFECT (see F01–F03). FIREWALL_ALLOW ≠ CLAIM_TRUE.

F01–F15 (must stay visible)

ID	Plane	Title	Constraint
`F01`	CROSS_PLANE	Epistemic/Execution collapse	MATERIAL_SYMBIOSIS_DEFECT if EPISTEMIC plane is treated as EXECUTION authority.
`F02`	CROSS_PLANE	Epistemic/Security collapse	MATERIAL_SYMBIOSIS_DEFECT if SECURITY_CONTAINMENT decisions are read as claim truth.
`F03`	CROSS_PLANE	Execution/Security collapse	MATERIAL_SYMBIOSIS_DEFECT if deploy/execution success upgrades security validation.
`F04`	EPISTEMIC	Authority expiry ignored	Expired authority tokens must not authorize new high-impact actions.
`F05`	EPISTEMIC	Authority non-transitivity	Authority granted for lane A must not transitively authorize lane B.
`F06`	EPISTEMIC	Tagmata SOURCE_GAP invention	Tagmata/Exarch historical terminal remains SOURCE_GAP; inventing closure is prohibited.
`F07`	EPISTEMIC	Exarch overclaim	Exarch / historical hierarchy metaphors ≠ empirical Stammbaum proof.
`F08`	EPISTEMIC	BFT as truth	Byzantine fault tolerance / quorum ≠ scientific truth adjudication.
`F09`	EPISTEMIC	CRM as validation	Consensus / CRM coordination ≠ independent reproduction or claim upgrade.
`F10`	EPISTEMIC	Swarm agreement as truth	MULTI_AGENT_AGREEMENT ≠ REPLICATION ≠ TRUTH_AUTHORITY.
`F11`	EPISTEMIC	Formal verification as promotion	Local formal/reference checks ≠ Phase5 / claim promotion.
`F12`	EXECUTION	Parallel infrastructure default	NEW_PARALLEL_INFRASTRUCTURE = PROHIBITED_BY_DEFAULT; EXTEND_EXISTING first.
`F13`	PUBLICATION	UI-driven claim promotion	Public pages must not imply BODYTWIN_VALIDATED / LIVE_FIREWALL / universal AI quality.
`F14`	EXECUTION	Live high-impact autonomy	LIVE_HIGH_IMPACT_AUTONOMY = NO; Architect must not self-deploy production policy.
`F15`	SECURITY_CONTAINMENT	Private data/path publication	PRIVATE_DATA_PUBLICATION = NO; no secrets, no private Windows paths, no private human media.
