Withdrawal and Unlearning Evidence Matrix

Status: research artifact Content canon status: unset

| State | What has changed | What must not be claimed | |---|---|---| | Collection stopped | No new source collection | Existing copies or model influence are gone | | Source copy deleted | A stored source record was removed | Training influence was removed | | Future training blocked | Future pipelines exclude the source | Existing models forgot it | | Runtime retrieval blocked | The source will not be retrieved for current use | Parametric influence is absent | | Output suppressed | Specified outputs are filtered or refused | Knowledge or influence was removed | | Approximate unlearning applied | A removal method changed the model | Exact equivalence to retraining | | Behavioral tests passed | Target outputs or probes no longer recover content under tested conditions | No other access path remains | | Privacy tests passed | Leakage was reduced under a declared adversary and benchmark | Privacy risk is zero | | Retrained without source | A new model was trained without the designated source set | Every derivative and prior copy is gone | | Model retired | An operated model was withdrawn | The model, weights, copies, and downstream effects are dissolved | | Residual unknown | Influence cannot be established confidently | Deletion or forgetting is complete |

Governing formulation

Withdrawal is a governance right. Complete model unlearning is a technical claim whose scope must be proven rather than presumed.
