Method · v0.12.10

Method — compounding understanding for next send

Outboxx's job is the next fully informed outbound email. You always send. Understanding compounds on Drive so other AIs can see claims, why, and falsifiers — adapted from the Compounding Archive for next-send to anyone, not a legal or finance specialist.

11 of 11 milestones Done (real behavior + Drive artifacts — no fake overall %).

Connect Gmail & Drive so Method progress can live beside understandings on Drive.

Scan is the same learning action as on Home — it searches and reads mail, attachments, and Drive, then updates understandings. No second analyze path. Human always sends.

Calibration

Nothing resolved yet — no Send/Nope outcomes linked to predictions. Certainty does not rise on AI agreement alone.

Contributions

Proposals in contributions.json stay quarantined (unaccepted) until you decide. Decisions write to contribution-decisions.json.

No pending proposals.

Milestones M0–M10

Honest statuses from what the code does today. No overall percent complete — each row stands alone. Done means real behavior + Drive artifacts, not a flipped label.

  • M0

    Complete ingest

    Done

    For next-sendMail, Drive, attachments, OCR, and zip members feed Scan with content-hash dedupe; fail-ledger never marks failed docs done; truncations are recorded and surfaced.

    Driveingest-ledger.json · fail-ledger.json · extract-progress.json · review-ledger.json

    NotesHash dedupe + fail/truncation honesty wired on Scan persist.

  • M1

    Findings + provenance

    Done

    For next-sendWhy cites prefer Gmail/Drive links; understandings without resolvable evidence URL are labelled missingCite/hypothesis and counted in meta.

    NotesMethod notes show missingCite honesty.

  • M2

    Beliefs + falsifiers

    Done

    For next-sendEvery persisted understanding carries overturnIf (ensureOverturnIf mandatory). Unsettled sort ranks dig-for / approve-next by (100−certainty)×importance.

  • M3

    Review log

    Done

    For next-sendDeep-read vs indexed coverage with independent denominator (% can fall as index grows) steers Scan and Method honesty.

  • M4

    Auto falsifier on Scan

    Done

    For next-sendNew ingest snippets systematically match all overturnIf; confidence lowers and hits log to falsifier-hits.json (capped).

  • M5

    Adversarial publish

    Done

    For next-sendwhat-cuts-against.json lists litigation, negative teaching, and low-confidence contradictors — calm Method section links the Drive file.

  • M6

    Portable MAP + outboxx/ subtree

    Done

    For next-sendMAP.json lists the portable package; understanding.json / knowledge.json / gaps / cuts / calibration sit at Knowledge root alongside live understandings.json.

  • M7

    Gaps.json + next-fetch

    Done

    For next-sendgaps.json from needs-better + open questions + expected missing docs (can_be_fetched_by, decides, priority); Scan dig-for prioritizes closing high gaps.

    Next-send from understanding

    Done

    For next-sendNext-send / tip prefers people with supporting understanding + Why cites; email from Knowledge/archive; empty→real-person tip under ~60s; human always sends.

  • M9

    Contributions / team

    Done

    For next-sendcontributions.json inbox (quarantined unaccepted); Method Accept / Accept with caveat / Reject writes contribution-decisions.json.

  • M10

    Calibration

    Done

    For next-sendcalibration.json logs sampled certainty predictions; Send/Nope resolve outcomes. Honest “nothing resolved yet” until data exists — certainty never rises on AI agreement alone.
