Immediate Integration: Using SSMDE with Existing JSON Workflows (20.0-20.4)

How to add SSMDE to the JSON you already send.

Most systems already exchange structured data via JSON over HTTP, message buses, logs, IoT telemetry, etc. SSMDE doesn’t replace that stack. It defines what truth must travel together, not how it’s serialized. Keep your JSON; enrich it with:

  • value — original magnitudes (truth lane)
  • align — bounded stability dial in (-1,+1)
  • band — action posture now (human/automation)
  • manifest_id — frozen policy and timing rules
  • stamp — (strongly recommended) proof of time, order, integrity

We’ll cover:
20.1 Minimal drop-in structure for today’s APIs
20.2 Why this does not copy existing formats
20.3 How this coexists with legacy fields
20.4 What to do on Day 1 vs Day 30


20.1 Minimal drop-in structure for today’s APIs

A real-world JSON body any REST service, bus, gateway, controller, or logger can emit now:

{
  "value": {
    "temperature_K": 279.92,
    "e_T": -0.184,
    "a_phase": -0.62
  },

  "align": -0.74,
  "band": "AMBER",
  "manifest_id": "CLINIC_VACCINE_STORAGE_v3",

  "stamp": "SSMCLOCK1|2025-10-31T07:12:44Z|θ=088.40|sha256=9fde1c...|prev=72af0b..."
}

Why this works immediately:

  • value stays raw and untouched (collapse parity: phi((m,a)) = m)
  • align is reproducible via the bounded pipeline:
    a_c := clamp(a_raw, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)
    u := atanh(a_c)
    U += w*u ; W += w
    align := tanh( U / max(W, eps_w) )
  • band carries a human/automation instruction (e.g., "AMBER" = “inspect within 30 minutes”)
  • manifest_id points to the exact rulebook and timing window
  • stamp locks time + order + content (tamper-evident chain)

20.2 Why this does not copy existing formats

  • JSON is a container (curly braces, name/value pairs).
  • SSMDE is semantics + governance (truth, trust, policy, timing, proof).

You’re not changing the wire; you’re declaring the minimum accountable truth every payload must carry—regardless of whether you serialize as JSON, CSV, protobuf, SCADA, or a log line.


20.3 How this coexists with legacy fields

Before:

{ "tempC": 6.8, "status": "OK" }

After (graceful evolution):

{
  "tempC": 6.8,
  "status": "OK",

  "value": {
    "temperature_K": 279.92,
    "e_T": -0.184,
    "a_phase": -0.62
  },

  "align": -0.74,
  "band": "AMBER",
  "manifest_id": "CLINIC_VACCINE_STORAGE_v3",

  "stamp": "SSMCLOCK1|2025-10-31T07:12:44Z|θ=088.40|sha256=9fde1c...|prev=72af0b..."
}

  • Old dashboards keep reading "tempC"/"status".
  • Audit/safety/regulators read align, band, manifest_id, stamp.

20.4 What to do on Day 1 vs Day 30

Day 1 (no re-architecture):

  • Start emitting value, align, band, manifest_id, stamp.
  • Name the policy you actually follow (e.g., "PLANT_A_BEARING_SAFETY_v7").
  • Log the enriched JSON exactly as transmitted.

You instantly gain: replayable truth, bounded stability, declared action posture, named policy, and a verifiable time/order chain.

Day 30 (after adoption):

  • Enforce band in automation:
    • "GREEN" → auto-execute
    • "AMBER" → queue human within the timing window
    • "RED" → controlled shutdown/block/quarantine now
  • Surface manifest_id in dashboards so timing expectations are explicit.
  • Treat stamp chains as the source of truth for “who knew what, when.”
