docs(wager): record the assessment of 2026-11-10 next to the verdict - #100
After the final verdict of the wager, the owner asked what the result is worth, what each repository can use, and what work stays. The answers existed in a chat only, so a later session could not read them.
This PR adds verification/proofs/agda/Wager/ASSESSMENT.adoc.
Changes
1 new file. Its first line says that it is an assessment and not a result, and that VERDICT.adoc is the authority for what Agda checked.
Sections: the result (as in the verdict), what each repository can use, the remaining work in priority order, and if the experiment was worth the time.
2 estate items of the chat text were repaired later on 2026-11-10 (the token guard and the SPDX rule of the estate template). The file says so.
No proof file, no ledger and no status file changes.
RSR Quality Checklist
Required
Tests pass: not run, 1 new document
No banned language patterns
No banned functions
SPDX license headers present on all new/modified source files
No secrets, credentials, or .env files included
Testing
Checked against the files before the commit:
The result section against VERDICT.adoc ("Overall result").
The statement on the obligations against docs/status/PROOF-STATUS.adoc.
The 2 statements on affinescript: docs/PROOF-NEEDS.adoc has the quoted words, and lib/ has 0 lines with "newtype".
Not checked again: the statement on the 4 formal tracks of the estate, and the state of the mathesis hole scanner. The file marks both as the state on 2026-11-10.
The owner asked what the wager result is worth, what each repository can
use and what work stays. The answers existed in a chat only. This file
records them. It says that it is a judgement and that VERDICT.adoc is the
authority for what Agda checked.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Added an assessment documenting the proof results, the conditions under which the stated result holds, and the limits of the proofs.
Recorded outcomes from two stages, potential application areas, outstanding work, and repairs made after the assessment.
Clarified that the assessment is subordinate to the checked results and that the experiment did not advance the planned release.
This change adds a post-verdict assessment of the Agda wager. It records results and proof limits, describes stated uses and outstanding work across repository projects, and captures the session’s conclusions and recommendation.
Changes: Agda wager assessment
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Authority and recorded results verification/proofs/agda/Wager/ASSESSMENT.adoc
The assessment distinguishes checked statements in VERDICT.adoc from session judgements. It records the conditions under which W holds, the Stage 6 and Stage 7 results, and two proof limits.
Repository implications and remaining work verification/proofs/agda/Wager/ASSESSMENT.adoc
The document describes stated uses and caveats for system-et, anytype, affinescript and face languages. It also lists outstanding work and records three estate issues and two repairs.
The assessment records the session’s view of the experiment, its stated breadth risk, and a recommendation about choosing between theory work and AffineScript v1 goals for the next month.
hyperpolymath/system-et#87: Establishes the Agda wager experiment and completes Stages 0–1, which this assessment discusses.
hyperpolymath/system-et#88: Adds Stages 2–4 and updates the experiment’s verdict and proof status, which the assessment summarises.
hyperpolymath/system-et#92: Makes two estate fixes that the assessment records as changes made after its assessment date.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 8ac4b
The assessment may mislead readers about what the proofs establish. Correcting the statements is advisable, but the verdict remains authoritative.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Include the in-progress ET-3 work.
PROOF-STATUS.adoc lists MECH-1 as in progress and says it covers the syntactic core of ET-3. Calling all other obligations open hides that existing work. Distinguish partial evidence from obligations with no completed proof. (github.com)

Review comments at @verification/proofs/agda/Wager/ASSESSMENT.adoc:
- Line 23: Update the Stage 7 statement in the assessment to say that a
translated representational coercion denotes transport in a realisability model;
do not claim that the target coercion computes transport.
- Line 50: The statement in the theory and type variables section
overgeneralises the effect of closed types. Update the sentence near “session
judged this the step with the most value” to scope the closed-type limitation
only to the relevant stages or limits, without implying that it explains the
nested-newtype restriction or the missing progress and preservation results for
Stage 6.
- Line 15: Qualify the W verdict in the assessment: state that the two-addition
result depends on the pending kinding-judgement decision, which may require a
third addition, and clarify how that condition affects whether W holds.
- Line 20: Update the “Other results” description in the Agda section to present
the checked program as a counterexample for the Affine algebra, not as proof
that unrestricted grade 𝟙 is necessary in general. Keep the claim aligned with
the verdict’s stated limitation.
- Line 17: Revise the indexed-state statement in the assessment to scope it to
the full fragment rather than every parameterised newtype; preserve the
distinction that the two-state translation applies when no type-level function
inspects a newtype argument.

Qualify the two-addition result.
The verdict says the pending kinding-judgement decision can require a third addition. Record that condition here so the owner can see how the decision affects W. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Scope the indexed-state requirement.
This sentence implies that every parameterised newtype requires indexed states. The verdict also proves a two-state translation when no type-level function inspects a newtype argument. State that indexed states cover the full fragment. (github.com)

Do not claim that unrestricted grade 𝟙 is proved necessary.
The checked program fails in the Affine algebra. The verdict explicitly says the development does not prove that the unrestricted-grade condition is necessary in general. Describe the example as a counterexample for that algebra. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Agda has one program for each addition that shows why the addition is necessary. Other results:
* *Stage 6, part 2.* With an identity family, a local equality assumption is a variable at the grade `𝟘`, and the erasure of the proofs in casts is sound. The cost: equality evidence is a term. The verdict gives the facts for each answer to the question "does this add a relation?", and does not decide.
* *Stage 7.* A translated coercion computes `transport` along a path that is made with `ua`.

State the scope of the Stage 7 result.
The verdict says a translated representational coercion denotes transport in a realisability model. It does not say the target coercion computes transport. Use the verdict’s formulation and include the representational-coercion scope. (github.com)

Do not attribute every limit to closed types.
The verdict lists independent limits, including the restriction on nested newtypes and the lack of progress and preservation for the Stage 6 extension. Introducing type variables alone would not resolve those limits. Replace “Each limit” with a scoped statement. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
