When Should an AI Scientist Stop? Verifiable Experiment Steering and Refusal for Autonomous Discovery

arXiv:2606.07576v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present CARTOGRAPH, a verification layer for AI scientists that couples unresolved-subspace experiment steering (select), explicit ambiguity closure (resolve), and residual-based library inadequacy detection (refuse). Under a local linear-Gaussian bridge, raw unresolved projection is the isotropic unresolved Fisher-information trace, while CARTOGRAPH-A is the exact unresolved A-optimal rule; closed-form EIG and Box-Hill arise as local comparators rather than global equivalents. Across five testbeds, CARTOGRAPH-A beats raw projection 129W/0T/15
