#G.9:8 — Archetypal grounding (informative; SoTA‑oriented)

#Content

Show‑A — Multi‑tradition parity for decision systems (post‑2015 practice). ParityPlan pins a rolling evidence window and comparator refs; ParityReport publishes a set/portfolio outcome plus the evidence trace. Typical “rival families” include modern preference‑learning comparators, causal decision pipelines, offline‑RL evaluation pipelines, and robust BO‑style selectors—compared without collapsing everything into a single scalar.

Show‑B — QD parity (MAP‑Elites lineage → CMA‑ME / DQD / QDax‑class). ParityPlan pins descriptor/distance definitions and archive insertion policy editions. ParityReport includes archive outcomes and telemetry deltas needed for refresh, without silently converting illumination summaries into dominance.

Show‑C — Open‑ended parity (POET lineage and modern open‑ended generator families). ParityPlan pins transfer rule editions and exploration policy refs. ParityReport publishes portfolio outcomes plus transfer‑keyed traces (PathSlice), enabling refresh reruns when any pinned policy changes.
