G.8:6 - Archetypal Grounding (System / Episteme)

Show‑A — Tri‑state admissibility with set‑valued selection (multi‑criteria). A CG‑Frame carries multiple offline/robust decision families (e.g., conservative offline RL and transformer‑based policy models post‑2020). The bundle cites SoSLogRuleId[] (SoS‑LOG semantics in C.23) and cites AcceptanceClauseId[] for any floors (governed by G.4). The run‑time AdmissibilityLedger cites PathSliceId (when available) for each pass/degrade/abstain. G.5 consumes the ledger and returns a selected set under the declared partial order—no scalar “winner”.

Show‑B — QD archive dispatch with edition‑pinned descriptors (post‑2015 QD families). A method family uses a modern QD line (e.g., CMA‑ES‑driven archives, differentiable QD variants, and large‑scale JAX‑style QD toolchains). The bundle pins DescriptorMapRef.edition and DistanceDefRef.edition, plus insertion/emitter policies. Illumination metrics are logged as telemetry; any promotion into dominance is only via explicit CAL policy pins (recorded in the admissibility trace).

Show‑C — Open‑ended environment–method co‑evolution (post‑2018 open‑ended families). A generator family operates in an open‑ended setting (e.g., POET‑style and PAIRED‑style regimes). The bundle carries TransferRulesRef.edition and validity region pins; unknown transfer validity triggers a degrade branch rather than an ad‑hoc fourth status. Telemetry (coverage/regret proxies) is emitted for refresh planning, not silently turned into dominance.
