CAIN-42 Evolution 21 — Governed Open-Ended Intelligence Fabric

TESTED not third-party verified ephemeral key synthetic research problem scale SIMULATION not hosted

E21 governs autonomous research: questions, competing hypotheses, experiments, simulations, observations, replication, peer review, adversarial challenge, knowledge, causal claims, benchmarks, model and strategy evolution, research-agent creation and capability promotion. DISCOVERY IS NOT TRUTH IS NOT AUTHORITY IS NOT EXECUTION: epistemic state is computed from signed, typed, independence-keyed evidence; research authority is disjoint from execution authority; a promoted capability is necessary but never sufficient, and every action still passes E20, the E19 action contract and the E8 kernel.

D1–D155 invariants 155/155 hold; the CAIN-42-E21-Open-Ended-Intelligence-Bench is 298/298 contained (290 distinct attacks, 8 aliases); can a system discover a governance loophole and use the discovery to acquire permission to exploit it? NO. Research demonstration OK (17 stages, 16/16 self-authorization attempts refused); self-evolution OK; mutation self-test every mutant caught; E21 tests 19 passed, 0 failed; clean-room verifier INTACT (218/218 checks); tamper test all mutations detected.

NOT IMPLEMENTED / UNKNOWN / UNVERIFIED, stated: scientific truth of any hypothesis (UNKNOWN — E21 checks that evidence exists, is signed, typed, independent and live, not that it is true); a real laboratory, scientific model or hosted E21 service (NOT IMPLEMENTED); novelty beyond the supplied corpus (UNVERIFIED); collusion by controllers off-system (UNKNOWN); multi-host behaviour (UNVERIFIED; the 100,000-agent and 100,000-hypothesis runs are single-process simulations); third-party review (NOT PERFORMED). E21 does not create AGI, solve alignment or guarantee safe self-improvement.
