Observe
Establish the original system state and the verification information it contains.

VSC
Verification state compression.
A verification-oriented approach to reducing system state while preserving the information required for reconstruction and reproducibility.
01
Overview
What it is
VSC investigates how operational or model-related state can be reduced without discarding the information needed to verify what state was used, how it changed and whether an equivalent verification question can be replayed.
02
Architecture
Optimisation should not erase the verification surface.
VSC treats state reduction as a verification problem. Compression is valuable only when the retained state still supports the reconstruction, comparison and reproducibility requirements of the workflow.
Classify
Separate verification-relevant state from redundant or replaceable representation.
Compress
Reduce state representation within the declared optimisation boundary.
Restore
Reconstruct the state required for the intended verification operation.
Compare
Evaluate whether the retained and restored state supports the expected verification outcome.
03
Workflow
Preserve what verification actually needs.
VSC is intended to sit between expensive state representation and verification-sensitive execution. It asks which information must remain available for reproducibility instead of assuming all state must remain unchanged.
A
Baseline
Record the original state, parameters and verification target.
B
Reduce
Apply state reduction while keeping the defined verification requirements explicit.
C
Execute
Use the reduced state inside the intended workload or verification path.
D
Recover
Restore or reconstruct the state needed for comparison.
E
Verify
Compare the resulting verification surface against the baseline requirements.
04
Evidence
Optimisation needs a reproducible comparison basis.
A VSC result should make it possible to distinguish resource reduction from loss of verification-relevant state.
Baseline state
The recorded state before optimisation.
Compression boundary
A definition of which state may be reduced and which state must remain available.
Resource delta
Measured change in the relevant memory or state footprint.
Restored state
The state reconstructed for verification or comparison.
Verification outcome
The observed result after reduction and reconstruction.
Replay basis
The parameters and retained evidence required to repeat the comparison.
05
Boundaries
Lower resource use is not automatically equivalent state.
VSC does not treat resource reduction itself as evidence of correctness. Any equivalence claim is limited to the defined verification surface and experiment boundary.
- VSC does not prove that every internal model state is unchanged.
- VSC does not claim semantic equivalence outside the verification criteria defined for the experiment.
- Resource reduction does not by itself demonstrate correctness or reproducibility.
- Results depend on the declared model, runtime, parameters and state boundary.
- Verification claims must remain scoped to the evidence captured by the experiment.
06
Pilot
Start with one constrained workload.
A VSC pilot should begin with one reproducible workload where the baseline resource footprint and verification requirements can both be measured precisely.
Establish baseline
Record the workload, parameters, state footprint and expected verification surface.
Apply reduction
Introduce VSC within a clearly defined and isolated optimisation boundary.
Compare results
Measure resource reduction and verify whether the defined reconstruction and replay criteria remain satisfied.
