G.0:11 - SoTA‑Echoing
This pattern aligns with post‑2015 best practice in evaluation and governance by:
- treating “abstain / defer” as a first-class outcome rather than forcing a single brittle scalar (cf. selective prediction / abstention and set-valued reporting practices),
- preserving multiobjective / partial-order outputs as sets (Pareto / archive thinking) rather than silently collapsing to a scalar,
- emphasising reproducibility via explicit versioning/pinning of evaluation surfaces (editions) and explicit policy identifiers,
- making evidence minima explicit and auditable (a conceptual analogue of modern reproducibility/robustness checklists and evaluation protocols),
- keeping method-family specifics modular (e.g., QD/archives, open-ended exploration budgets) via explicit wiring to governing patterns rather than embedding method semantics into the universal legality gate.
