Mimesis Verification Relocation Packet - 2026-06-15

이 artifact는 Mimesis Engineering을 더 크게 주장하기 위한 문서가 아니다.

오히려 반대다.

검증된 외부 원본은 좋은 구조를 찾는 데 도움을 줄 수 있지만, 그 원본의 검증은 새 Mimesis 산출물로 상속되지 않는다.

이것을 Digital Factory에서는 verification relocation이라고 부른다.

Claim

Allowed public claim:

Digital Factory has a local, verifier-checked Mimesis evidence packet showing
that external source artifacts can help identify load-bearing structure, but
validation does not transfer to new outputs.

Reuse still needs extract-loss, domain-shift, conditioning-efficacy,
wrong-anchor, and downstream gates.

Forbidden public claim:

external artifacts transfer validation to Mimesis outputs,
source-level attribution proves downstream lift,
external OSS maintainers endorsed Mimesis,
verification gets reduced by using better sources,
provenance proves correctness,
local reinjection runs prove product value,
Mimesis is externally validated,
Mimesis universally improves AI output.

External Standards

These sources constrain the wording. They do not validate Mimesis Engineering.

source	what it contributes
W3C PROV-O and PROV-DM	Provenance records relationships among entities, activities, and agents. It is history/lineage, not proof that a derived output is true or useful.
C2PA / Content Credentials	Content provenance can expose origin and history metadata. That still differs from truth, quality, or downstream usefulness.
SLSA Provenance	Provenance describes where, when, and how a software artifact was produced. It scopes claims to the produced artifact.
in-toto Attestation Framework	An attestation binds a predicate to a subject. That subject-predicate boundary is the useful analogy for Mimesis evidence.
NIST AI TEVV and NIST AI RMF 1.0	Test, evaluation, verification, and validation happen across lifecycle and operational context; new context needs its own question, metric, and limitation.
Datasheets for Datasets	Useful artifacts should document motivation, composition, collection process, recommended uses, and limits.
ACM Artifact Review and Badging	Artifact availability, artifact evaluation, reproduced results, and replicated results are different categories and should not be collapsed.
Pearl and Bareinboim on external validity / transportability	Transfer across contexts requires assumptions about source-target differences; generalization is not automatic.

Local Evidence Packet

Observed local packet:

mimesis-plugin/evidence/verification-relocation/

The packet says:

External source artifacts can help identify load-bearing structure, but they do
not transfer validation to a new Mimesis output. Verification is relocated to
extract loss, domain shift, and conditioning efficacy gates.

Local Files

local file	role	public boundary
`verification-relocation/README.md`	Main packet: claim, files, gates, prior-art framing, forbidden claims.	Local evidence packet only.
`external-oss-attribution-README.md`	Source-level attribution summary.	Attribution is not downstream lift.
`downstream-reinjection-README.md`	Downstream reinjection summary.	Lift is regime-dependent and can be null or negative.
`P-EXT-05-RESULTS.md`	Boundary case for judgment-laden structure-class labels.	Labels remain partly judgmental, not oracle-backed truth.
`DOWNSTREAM-OUTPUT-RESULTS.md`	Local downstream result log with null, negative, and narrow positive regimes.	Synthetic/local evidence, not product validation.
`mimesis-plugin/CLAIMS.md`	Public forbidden-claim guardrail.	Claim policy, not method proof by itself.
`MIMESIS-CANON.md`	Bounded canon and next proof-packet shape.	Local canon, not public proof.
`README.md`	Workbench verification snapshot.	First-reader map and local hygiene, not external validation.

What The Packet Separates

Question	Local answer	Boundary
Can a verified external artifact expose load-bearing structure?	Selected local evidence says yes, with source/trace evidence and some local repros.	This is source-level attribution.
Does reinjecting extracted structure improve downstream output?	Only in a narrow local regime: underdetermined task plus slop-contaminated prior.	Not general downstream performance.
Does validation transfer from source artifact to new output?	No.	New output needs new gates.

Required Gates

Any Mimesis reuse of an external artifact needs separate checks for:

gate	question
extract loss	Did the extracted structure preserve what mattered in the source artifact?
domain shift	Did the new task differ from the source artifact’s validation context?
conditioning efficacy	Did the structure change the model output in the intended direction?
wrong-anchor risk	Would an irrelevant but strong-looking artifact produce the same result?
downstream behavior	Does the resulting output pass the target gate, not only the source gate?

Validation

Fresh local commands observed in the Digital Factory workbench:

python verify_workbench_surface.py

From mimesis-plugin/:

python verify_evidence_references.py
python tools/validate_module.py --all

Observed result:

Digital Factory workbench surface checks passed.
Mimesis evidence-reference checks passed.
14/14 valid

Current root npm boundary:

No root package.json is present, so npm test is not a current verification target.

Claim Boundary

What this artifact proves:

A local verification-relocation evidence packet exists.
The packet has an explicit claim and forbidden-claim boundary.
The packet is compatible with the local claim/evidence/module hygiene checks.
The public-safe message is stronger because it refuses inherited validation.

What this artifact does not prove:

external validation,
external adoption,
production readiness,
universal lift,
statistical significance,
legal clearance,
visual quality improvement,
or that using verified sources makes verification cheaper.

Marketing Use

Safe sentence:

Mimesis does not treat strong source artifacts as borrowed proof. It uses them to find load-bearing structure, then relocates verification to extract-loss, domain-shift, conditioning, wrong-anchor, and downstream gates.

Unsafe sentence:

Because the source artifact was verified, the Mimesis output is verified too.

Next Proof

Run verification relocation on one redacted case. The next stronger artifact should include:

source artifact,
extracted structure,
wrong-anchor or checklist control,
target output,
downstream gate,
failure notes,
claim boundary.

Until that exists, this remains local methodology evidence, not external validation.
