Autonomy Requires Verifiability First

Surgical autonomy should be considered only within tasks whose states, actions, boundaries, failures, and outcomes can be sufficiently examined and tested.

Public knowledge contract

From clinical ground to explicit ideas.

Each layer declares whether it represents professional scope, published evidence, research synthesis, or an original thesis.

Autonomy Requires Verifiability First public knowledge entry

Original thesis

This entry is classified as original thesis. Its public sources and exact claim boundary are stated below.

Public definition

Autonomy Requires Verifiability First

자율성은 검증 가능성 이후

Surgical autonomy should be considered only within tasks whose states, actions, boundaries, failures, and outcomes can be sufficiently examined and tested.

Korean summary · 한국어 요약

수술 자율성은 상태·행위·경계·실패·결과를 충분히 측정하고 검증할 수 있는 제한된 과업에서만 논의되어야 한다는 명제입니다.

Why it matters

This principle places evidence boundaries before capability claims and makes bounded, reviewable tasks the unit of progress.

Claim boundary

This is a safety-oriented research thesis. It does not state that autonomous surgery is clinically ready or that any system satisfies the proposed standard.

Public grounding

Sources and context

Each link is public. Its role states whether it verifies scope, supplies published evidence, or provides conceptual context.

    Verifiable Surgery

    A working framework in which the operative process is measured, structured, linked to outcomes, and rendered testable rather than presumed.

    Perception Is Not Verifiability

    Recognizing what appears in an operative scene does not by itself explain why an action produced a particular result.
