K08 · traceable Machine Intelligence knowledge infrastructure
Symbolic Protocol Benchmark Plan
Direct answer
K08 defines a controlled benchmark in which task accuracy, failure safety, interoperability, and accessibility must pass before efficiency is ranked.
Authority and evidence boundary. K08 publishes governed research, synthetic reference traces, non-certifying workbooks, acquisition evaluation structures, offline planning records, and bounded protocol experiments. It does not prove historical authority, facility truth, compliance, certification, contract award, deployment, current operation, or authorization for external effects.
Benchmark status
EXPERIMENTAL BENCHMARK PLAN; NO PERFORMANCE RESULT FBP-K08-001
No current K08 result establishes that a Runic encoding outperforms ASCII enums, integer labels, CBOR, Protocol Buffers, compact binary fields, natural language, or vector payloads.
Candidate encodings
- Runic Unicode registry
- ASCII symbolic registry
- integer enum in JSON
- CBOR integer labels
- Protocol Buffers enum
- compact binary bit field
- natural-language message
- vector payload where genuinely required
Tasks
- bounded state transmission
- error and unknown-state handling
- version negotiation
- cross-model interpretation
- mixed-script rejection
- accessibility and operator audit
- lossy open-ended semantic task
Metrics
- wire bytes and framing overhead
- encode/decode latency
- end-to-end task accuracy
- semantic collision and unknown rate
- CPU, memory, and energy
- interoperability and tooling
- error recovery and downgrade behavior
- human auditability and accessibility
- security boundary violations
Controls
- same semantic task and error budget
- declared vocabulary size
- same authentication and transport envelope
- warm and cold cache results
- edge and server hardware profiles
- repeatable fixtures and random seeds
Non-claims
- No current result demonstrates Runic superiority.
- The benchmark does not test or authorize offensive, destructive, targeting, or weapon-control semantics.
Acceptance rule
No candidate is preferred unless it meets task accuracy, failure safety, interoperability, and accessibility thresholds before efficiency ranking.
