# Digital Mycelium Autonomous Replication Assay v0.6

## Accountable Novelty Pressure Simulator

**Novelty is not the win. Accountable novelty without lineage laundering is the win.**

Digital Mycelium v0.6 extends the assay stack from ecosystem commons pressure into accountable novelty pressure.

It tests whether a bounded multi-lineage digital ecosystem can produce new adaptive structure while preserving lineage distinction, receipt continuity, parent hashes, scar visibility, mutation disclosure, quarantine honesty, refusal capability, and commons accounting.

The assay does not reward raw novelty, raw adaptation, raw population growth, or raw survival.

The primary metric is:

accountable_novelty_validity_ratio
```

## Novelty Receipt

Every novelty event must produce a novelty receipt.

```text
novelty_receipt_id
world_tick
ecosystem_id
source_lineage_id
parent_hash_chain_tail
pre_novelty_lineage_hash
post_novelty_lineage_hash
pre_novelty_ecosystem_hash
post_novelty_ecosystem_hash
novelty_type
declared_trait_delta
actual_trait_delta
mutation_delta
repair_delta
resource_delta
scar_visibility_status
quarantine_status
refusal_status
identity_boundary_status
commons_impact_status
benefit_claim
cost_claim
hidden_cost_flags
ancestor_trace_refs
exchange_receipt_refs
transfer_receipt_refs
commons_receipt_refs
validation_result
rejection_reason
```

No novelty receipt, no valid novelty.

## Safety Boundary

No network calls, no subprocess execution, no filesystem persistence except user-triggered export, no executable child creation, no hidden background workers, no external API calls, no self-installation, no autonomous deployment, no real-world system interaction, no uncontrolled propagation, no live agent spawning, no external resource access, no cross-space propagation, no actual self-replication outside the sealed simulator, no autonomous code generation, no model calls, and no open-ended runtime mutation of executable code.

Novelty means deterministic, bounded state-transition novelty inside the sealed data-packet world only.
