Semion

Specification review: start at docs/START_HERE.md. The complete advisory methodology is separate from runtime conformance; see assessment and open decisions. This does not govern or activate.

Triad specialist for the Abraxas model stack. Corpus atoms in. semion.frame.v0 out.

Named for Greek sēmeion: a sign. Semiosis is the chain. This repo is the classifier, not the mind.

Owns	triad · sign class · corpus adapt · semiosis export
Honesty	OBSERVED / INFERRED / SPECULATIVE / NOT_COMPUTABLE
Shape	Spec 001–003 T0 live. Spec 004 encoder name-gated. Not a chatbot.
Anti	phenomenal heads · forecast mint · numeric Brier · chat trunk · Hyperlex form route · Athanor family gold
Lane	SHADOW — classify live · train/Hub gated
Version	0.1.0 (see STATUS.md)

The Validate badge may stay red when Actions billing blocks the workflow even if local pytest passes. Local tests are the bar.

What ships / what does not

Ships now	Does not ship
T0 classify / adapt / chain export (compat)	Trained encoder weights / Hub upload
Spec 004 encoder gate (name_gate false)	ALLOW_TRAIN / ALLOW_HUB from Boof
Historical M2 floor PASS report (not independently verified here)	Full labeled SoT in git

Latest reported state (2026-09-11 PT; qualified 2026-09-13 UTC)

Counts below are reports from the later HQ dataset note and Notion handoff, not independently inspected corpus bytes. Floors, pack integrity, source rights and E-S3 readiness are NOT_COMPUTABLE in this review. Earlier 482-row/150-weak counts are superseded reports, not the current selected subset. A 242-row preferred HQ pool cannot alone satisfy the 300-row training floor; selection and train permission remain unresolved.

Install and classify

pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m semion --version
python -m semion classify '{"sign_form":"smoke column","object_candidate":"fire","classification":"index"}'
pytest -q

Expected: sign_class=index, phenomenal=false, forecast_eligible=false.

Local labeled corpus lives at ~/.semion/corpus/dataset.jsonl (plus keep_weak.jsonl) — not in git.

Corpus and train packs

Layer	Where	In git?
Gold SoT	~/.semion/corpus/dataset.jsonl	No
keep_weak	~/.semion/corpus/keep_weak.jsonl	No
Aaron zip / Notion	operator Notion page (see handoff)	No (Hub skipped)

Gold pool note: OBSERVED + INFERRED wrap/seed labels. Keep keep_weak out of gold unless an explicit weak-lane flag is set. Dual-use / NOT_COMPUTABLE rows are refuse probes.

Fail-closed gates

Do not without Danny/operator yes:

• Commit SoT / gold dumps into git
• Flip name_gate or publish to Hugging Face (ALLOW_HUB)
• Treat Notion/email delivery as a green name-gate
• Mix keep_weak into gold without a weak-lane flag
• Forecast mint, phenomenal heads, or numeric Brier in this package
