# Simulator-grounded theory extension

- **Registry ID:** `ic-sgte`
- **Book:** Infinitesimal Creativity
- **Documentation status:** `local-curated`
- **Experimental status:** registered four-study ladder
- **Canonical documentation URL:** https://categorical-ai.sridharmahadevan.com/experiments/ic-sgte

## Purpose

Singing-mouse mechanism recovery, observer construction, active probe selection, and latent-mediator extension.

## Book location

- Chapter 16: Simulator-Grounded Theory Extension

## Documented studies

- No study-level titles are registered; consult the family-level record.

## Associated code packages

- `synthetic-creativity-archive` — Infinitesimal Creativity registered experiment archive; **local-curated**; license decision pending. Registered, developmental, negative, and transport experiment directories underlying Chapters 10–19. Public packets require separate provenance, dependency, rights, and privacy review.

## Start here

These concrete files are selected from the complete resolved source surface. They orient the reader; they are not a claim that every family is independently reproducible.

## Evidence boundary

Projection-support recovery does not identify vocal causality; each result remains simulator-relative.

A code or artifact link establishes traceability. It does not by itself establish independent reproduction, statistical adequacy, correctness, or support for a claim beyond this boundary.
