Construction role

Evolution is PPAS on ω-germ code space. Populations generate variants, selection verifies viability, and drift/recombination keep the search non-terminating. The admissible claim is local adaptive search under historical constraints, not global optimization or an imported Darwinian primitive detached from code.

What this step earns

Evolution as PPAS selection is made addressable as Step 085 in the fine-grained Construction Spine routing layer.

• Routing scaffold. Detailed earned-output extraction is pending the source-map pass.

What this step does not yet establish

This route exposes the RC3 construction step for inspection. It does not by itself establish peer review, empirical adequacy, or final manuscript-level source closure.

Source anchors
