G.8:12 - SoTA‑Echoing (informative; post‑2015 practice alignment)
This pattern’s separation of decision rules, acceptance thresholds, provenance paths, and set‑valued outputs echoes post‑2015 practice in:
- Set‑valued / set-returning selection (multi‑objective and uncertainty‑aware regimes; avoiding forced scalar winners).
- Quality‑Diversity and archive‑based evaluation (post‑2015 QD variants emphasize edition‑pinned descriptors/distances and telemetry‑driven refresh).
- Open‑endedness / curriculum generation (post‑2018 lines emphasize explicit transfer rules, safe degrade branches, and telemetry‑driven orchestration rather than hidden gates).
- Reproducibility‑aware publishing (explicit identifiers, pinned editions/policies, citable traces rather than prose‑only decision rationales).
(Examples are illustrative; they do not introduce new Part‑G‑wide norms.)
