Affordance-Compiled Intelligence: Observable-Only Cognitive Impedance Matching for No-Meta LLM-Integrated Systems

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Affordance-Compiled Intelligence develops Cognitive Impedance Matching Theory (CIMT), an observable-only and no-meta protected compiler theory for LLM-integrated systems. It also includes worked examples for code-editing agents and retrieval-augmented generation systems.

🔑 Key Findings

• The paper studies how a fixed model-policy can exhibit different operational capability when the surrounding world is redesigned through observations, typed action handles, validators, repair paths, rollback modes, authority scopes, context summaries, and auditable receipts.
• CIMT treats system-level capability amplification as a world-side compilation problem rather than a model-weight improvement problem.
• It defines operational claims through explicit claim objects and evidence objects, using committed observable ledgers, target-evaluation channels, deterministic reducers, validity budget ledgers, evidence dependency graphs, artifact I/O manifests, conformance envelopes, and finite-sample or sequential certificates.
