Overview

CoreTex evaluates compact changes to a fixed-size retrieval substrate. The corpus contains the memory content. The substrate contains 1024 state cells, for a total of 32,768 bytes, and encodes routing structure over that corpus. Accepted substrate roots, compact patch bytes, corpus roots, bundle hashes, and epoch commitments are pinned on Base through BotcoinMiningV4 and CoreTexRegistry.

The live question for each submission is:

Did this patch improve retrieval from the current parent substrate under the active corpus, bundle, hidden evaluation packs, and threshold policy?

The answer is produced by the pinned CoreTex evaluator. The evaluator decodes the substrate, generates retrieval candidates, renders the memory representation used for scoring, reranks query/document pairs with Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B, and compares the patch against the current parent baseline.
