Claim	C007
Hypothesis	H1

Statement

RLVR replaces human preferences with deterministic verification

Status

Current: Plausible

Supporting Evidence

Evidence	Summary
SRC01-E01	RLVR replaces learned reward models with programmatic verifiers for deterministic feedback in verifiable domains

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence	Summary
—	No contradicting evidence found

Reasoning

RLVR substitutes learned reward models with programmatic verifiers that provide deterministic feedback. It eliminates reward model training and provides same-input-same-reward consistency. However, it only works where ground truth exists — math, code, SQL — and fails for creative writing, brand voice, or nuanced argumentation.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H1 represents full accuracy. H2 allows for partial correctness. H3 is eliminated by the evidence.
