In plain English
This page is reference material: definitions, schemas, catalogs, templates, and implementation records.
- Why this matters: AI risk can come from the whole arrangement, not one obvious model.
- What to look for: data, memory, routes, adapters, tools, evaluators, updates, and rollback paths.
- Technical version below: the expert terminology remains available and is linked through the glossary.
Possibility-to-risk translation map
Evidence levelStrong architectural inferenceTechnical label: Architectural inference
This map keeps the two-site narrative separated. ModelBreeder explores useful model ecologiesA changing AI system made from many connected parts, not just one model. Open glossary definition. Cognivirus reviews the failure modes created by the same ecology mechanics.
| Possibility-side term | Risk-side translation | Required evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Genome | exact candidate recipe | base model identity, adapters, seed, mutation log, source checksum. |
| FitnessVector | evaluatorA system that judges whether an AI output or candidate is acceptable. Open glossary definition pressure record | tasks, metrics, hidden-test version, disagreement, cost, latency, memory, risk, novelty. |
| Champion | promoted carrier | promotion reason, release alias, rollbackReturning a system to an earlier known state. Open glossary definition packet, scope limits. |
| Specialist | narrow capability module | task boundary, permissions, composition tests, retirement criteria. |
| Challenger | exploratory candidate | quarantine status, no production authority, novelty rationale. |
| Novelty archive | diversity reservoirA place where a behavior can remain after the first carrier is removed. Open glossary definition | proof that novelty is useful and bounded, not merely strange. |
| Model merge | inheritance event | parent list, merge operator, load order, task-vector conflict notes. |
| Adapter stackA set of adapters loaded together, usually in a defined order. Open glossary definition | portable behavior layer | signed provenanceA record of where a component or behavior came from. Open glossary definition, hash, source review, base compatibility. |
| Ecology dashboard | decision interface | uncertainty, source links, hidden assumptions, no-opThe decision not to change the system. Open glossary definition state. |
| Edge runtime | local execution environment | storage, memory, permissions, decoder integrity, replay trace. |
Translation rules
- Do not treat a positive capability as risk-free just because it is useful.
- Do not treat a risk surface as proof that the capability should not exist.
- Record the review object created by every new capability.
- Keep concrete claims evidence-labeled.
- Preserve the boundary between public education and operational instructions.

Uploaded ModelBreeder reports supply architectural vocabulary. CognivirusA behavior pattern that can survive, move, or reappear across a changing AI system. Open glossary definition uses that vocabulary to ask defensive questions. The reports do not independently prove that any particular implementation is unsafe.
