Truth-Carrying Data Layer
A common grammar for sending state with meaning, policy, and proof

Purpose
Goal. Move from “just data” to “defensible declarations.”
An SSMDE record says what happened, how stable it is, which rulebook defined “safe”, when it was said, and provides proof you can replay later.
Key idea (overview)
Every SSMDE record travels with four inseparable parts:
- Value — the original signal, untouched.
Collapse parity:
phi((m,a)) = m
- Align — a bounded stability/stress dial
a_outin(-1,+1)that is safe to pool and replay. - Band — a human label (“A++”, “A0”, “CRITICAL”) tied to clear action windows.
- Manifest + Stamp — policy frozen in time (
manifest_id) and a tamper-evident anchor (stamp) that bind meaning and moment to each record.
How the alignment dial is constructed (at a glance)
Canonical, order-invariant pipeline that protects humans and math:
Clamp (safety first):
a_c := clamp(a_raw, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)
Rapidity transform (make it addable):
u := atanh(a_c)
Fuse with memory (evidence + weight):
U += w * u
W += w
Reconstruct, bounded (return to human scale):
a_out := tanh( U / max(W, eps_w) )
Properties (in practice):
# Bounded
-1 < a_out < +1
# Replayable
a_out == recompute(a_raw timeline, weights, eps_a, eps_w)
# Order-invariant
a_out(batch) == a_out(stream) == a_out(merged shards)
What you actually emit (minimal shape)
{
"value": { ... },
"align": <(-1,+1)>,
"band": "<label>",
"manifest_id": "<id>",
"stamp": "SSMCLOCK1|<utc>|theta=<deg>|sha256=<hex>|prev=<hash-or-NONE>"
}
Keep your transports. SSMDE rides alongside existing JSON/CSV/bus/API without breaking legacy dashboards or pipelines.
Why this is different
- No silent goalpost shifts. Policy lives in the manifest; change the policy → change the
manifest_id. - Evidence first, not later. The stamp encodes when, what, and sequence so audit can replay truth without vendor permission.
- Human-centric safety. Bands map directly to action windows (e.g.,
"CRITICAL" => respond in <= 10 min").
Disclaimer
Observation-only. SSMDE is a symbolic layer for interpretation, routing, alerting, analytics, governance, and audit.
It does not replace calibration, engineering judgment, medical triage, mission control authority, or safety certification.
