14.4 Bracket screening as repair search

Suppose \(N\) candidate edits are available. Exhaustive validation of ordered pairs requires \(N(N-1)\) expensive executions. LASKO first computes a cheap bracket proxy from read–write anchors and known workflow dependencies, then validates only the highest-scoring ordered pairs.

LASKO-prioritized repair

1. Parse the workflow into typed anchors and declared dependencies.

2. Generate admissible skill sections with read and write sets.

3. Compute cheap ordered-pair bracket or interference proxies.

4. Localize high scores to the affected workflow subdiagrams.

5. Execute only the top-ranked ordered pairs under the real validator.

6. Retain visible, blame, and trace residuals for both orders.

7. Admit a repair sequence only after held-out served validation.

The bracket is a screening device. The real validator remains authoritative. This is analogous to BRIDGE: geometry buys a smaller expensive search, while a domain evaluator chooses the final structure.

A corresponding Natural LINCS refinement would place a declared metric on the anchored skill fibers and select the least-cost section that contracts a localized bracket obstruction. This Natural LASKO geometry would rank tangent repair proposals, not replace the served validator or certify that a proposed skill section integrates to a safe finite workflow edit.
