Software componentCognitionCognition & Memoryarc:ConstraintGatedDecisionFusion
A decision fusion aggregator in which rule-based constraints act as hard filters: inputs passing all rules proceed to learned scoring, while violations are rejected regardless of other components' outputs.
Responsibility. Applies rule constraints as hard gates before accepting scored decisions.
Also known as: Gating mechanism, Hard-filter fusion
