R2-H LIFECYCLE SIDECAR
Artifact class: GOVERNANCE / DESIGN RECORD (per-family lifecycle sidecar)
Research family: R2-H — horizon-boundary experiment
Family status: CLOSED / IMMUTABLE
Outcome: NULL
This sidecar: records the lifecycle state of every R2-H artifact so the
repository can always distinguish frozen evidence from transient output and
from superseded documents. It grants no execution authorization, changes
no scientific state, and is not scientific evidence itself.
| field | value |
|---|---|
| family | R2-H |
| current protocol | r2-h-v0.1.0-frozen |
| manifest | R2-H-MANIFEST-v0.1.0-frozen |
| family status | CLOSED / IMMUTABLE |
| outcome | NULL (acceptable non-positive result) |
| design frozen | 2026-08-26 — protocol + manifest recorded DESIGN FROZEN — EXECUTION NOT AUTHORIZED |
| execution completed | yes — R2_H_EXECUTION_MANIFEST.json, R2_H_REPORT.md, R2_H_INFERENCE.json |
| execution outcome | NULL — global gate not rejected; consistent with R1-R null persisting |
| immutable | yes — R2-H may not be reopened, re-analysed, or amended |
DESIGN FROZEN vs EXECUTION COMPLETED — MUST NOT BE CONFLATED
- DESIGN FROZEN — the protocol
r2-h-v0.1.0-frozenand the manifestR2-H-MANIFEST-v0.1.0-frozenwere frozen before execution. At design time they carried the statusDESIGN FROZEN — EXECUTION NOT AUTHORIZED. - EXECUTION COMPLETED — a controlled execution subsequently ran under the frozen protocol; the execution manifest, the inference file, and the report record the completed run and its NULL outcome.
DESIGN FROZEN is a pre-execution lifecycle state; EXECUTION COMPLETED is a
post-execution lifecycle state. NULL is the scientific outcome of the
completed execution — an acceptable, non-positive result, never a failure.
AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENTS
- R2-H outcome = NULL
