Toward Operational Sufficiency: An Integrated Architecture Profile for Bounded Cognitive Agency

The companion papers define a bounded cognitive kernel, controlled input and service boundaries, learning and belief transactions, epoch-bounded growth, conditional request settlement, and directional semantic interoperability. A list of compatible components is not yet an integrated architecture, and an integrated architecture is not yet sufficient for any defensible meaning of human-like cognition. This paper separates those two obligations. First, it defines an Integrated Architecture Profile (IAP): a versioned, finite, owner-partitioned reference-composition specification whose manifest fixes state ownership, typed ports, update order, resource bounds, failure behavior, versions, and exact zero-closure settings. Under explicit hypotheses, an IAP instance can inherit per-epoch compactness and write isolation, bounded protocol settlement, atomic coordinated commit or rollback, typed authority-non-elevating exchange, core-trace refinement, and exact reduction to A1-A17. These are composition results, not competence results. Second, the paper defines Finite Human-Like Functional Sufficiency (FHFS) relative to a preregistered profile of capacities, tasks, environments, human reference population, resources, interventions, readouts, acceptance margins, forbidden failures, and rivals. Five cumulative tiers distinguish contract integrity, bounded task sufficiency, finite-profile sufficiency, mechanism-sensitive architectural sufficiency, and bounded developmental sufficiency. Mandatory cells are conjunctive and noncompensatory; leakage, unowned functions, bound violations, post-outcome system changes, and failed required cells stop or reset the claim. No finite tier establishes universal human-likeness, consciousness, moral status, world truth, unrestricted grounding, or open-ended intelligence. The present contribution is therefore a candidate reference-composition specification and a falsifiable evaluation discipline. It supplies neither a populated IAP instance, an executable witness, nor empirical demonstration. Version 19 also defines a bounded mapper, action and execution policy, temporal-valuation profile, emotion-observation profile, candidate first Tier 1 anchor, and security test envelope for the first witness. These are specifications, not implementations or evidence.
