Canonical Concepts

CogniSwitch concept registry

A draft registry of canonical concept IDs used by CogniSwitch structured data. Pages link to these IDs instead of minting local concepts for the same idea.

Registry status

This page publishes the current registry draft. External reconciliation fields are still being completed, so treat the registry as canonical for CogniSwitch IDs, not as fully reconciled with Wikidata or healthcare domain ontologies.

Proposal queue

New concepts enter through the append-only proposal queue before a Registrar promotes them into canonical concept IDs. The current local queue has 0 proposed concepts awaiting review.

Phantom Human-in-the-Loop

https://cogniswitch.ai/concepts/phantom-human-in-the-loop

coined

Phantom HITLphantom human in the loop

COINED by CogniSwitch. Anti-pattern: human oversight is nominally present in an AI pipeline but structurally impossible at production throughput, opacity, or attention scale. The human exists on paper; the review does not happen in practice.

Traceability (AI output)

https://cogniswitch.ai/concepts/traceability

coined

traceabilitytraceability ceilingtraceablefull provenance trail

COINED operational definition by CogniSwitch. Traceability means mapping every AI output back to its exact source chain: document → section → concept → decision. The industry uses the term loosely; this definition is structural and auditable. 'Traceability ceiling' names the maximum level of auditability any given architecture can achieve.
