Giorgio Gilestro 58e6c74609 paper: claim-narrowing revision from the external review
The review's core instruments adopted: the interpretation/explanation/
prediction ladder is now explicit in §1 (with the decisive pre-merge
epistasis-prediction test stated as the open bar, not claimed); identity
claims scoped (WF exact only in the minimal model, with the
learning-kernel deviation cited against ourselves; Muller's ratchet
scoped to the irreversible arm — recombination reassembles only what
survives); "nobody has / none imports / theory outrun" removed;
merge-don't-average given explicit operator boundaries (output-mean vs
weight-average vs routing vs max-with-oracle; budgets; oracle; capacity
handoff to speciation); a "what these experiments do and do not
establish" scope block added to the speciation section (conflict floor
is information-theoretic, not genetic; epistasis-cliff + snowball =
hypotheses at the neural tier; emergent DMIs = flagship hypothesis,
bounded by our null); "control theory" -> "framework" (subtitle
included); §3/§11 overstatements fixed (frozen core != frozen behaviour;
Baldwin echo, not identity; operational vs archival irreversibility);
claims-at-a-glance table (status/assumptions/evidence/limits) added to
§13. Reviewer's framing sentence adopted as the stated core
contribution. Accessible version calibrated to match. md2tex gains pipe-
table support; PDF rebuilds clean (22 pp). Lessons recorded.
