Lineage Graphs

Evidence levelArchitectural inference

A lineage graph can show parents and operators. It does not automatically reveal which capabilities, vulnerabilities, or evaluator shortcuts survived derivation.

What to record

Record the component owner, source, version, hash or identifier, permissions, load conditions, compatibility assumptions, and known failure modes. For memory and datasets, record retention, jurisdiction, provenance, consent, and retirement procedures.

Persistence question

Ask whether the component can carry a pattern forward after the apparent original artifact is removed. If yes, it belongs inside the behavioral extinction review.

Counterargument

A component can be benign and useful. The existence of a host does not imply harmful behavior. It only means the host belongs within the ecology-level safety boundary.
