SSMDE – Domain Adapters overview (3.0)

One record shape that travels across finance, AI, hardware, and chemistry

Why adapters exist

Different fields speak different sciences, but teams all need the same four truths in every message:

{ value, align, band, manifest_id, stamp }

  • value → what happened (untouched; collapse parity holds: phi((m,a)) = m)
  • align → bounded dial (-1,+1) describing stability / risk
  • band → human/policy stance derived from declared cutpoints
  • manifest_id → the rulebook that defined “normal” and actions
  • stamp → verifiable timing and order

Adapters show how to drop this block into any domain without changing the domain’s science.


What stays invariant (math + governance)

# alignment pipeline (portable, order-invariant)
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) )

# policy mapping (domain-specific cutpoints, same mechanism)
band := band_from_align(align, manifest_id)

  • Math stays the same (bounded, replayable).
  • Policy stays yours (cutpoints, response windows live in the manifest).
  • Truth stays portable (anyone can replay your meaning later).

How to read any adapter page

Each domain page will show:

Problem → SSMDE fit → Example record → Human action via band → Evidence via stamp

You will see copy-ready blocks like:

{
  value: { ...domain_facts... },
  align: <in (-1,+1)>,
  band:  "<GREEN|AMBER|RED or A++|A-|...>",
  manifest_id: "<DOMAIN_POLICY_ID>",
  stamp: "SSMCLOCK1|<utc_iso>|sha256=<...>|prev=<...>"
}

…and clear notes on how manifest_id fixes cutpoints and response windows for that domain.


What’s in this section (proof-of-concept span)

  • 3.1 Finance / Operations Stability — cash rhythm, liquidity calm vs wobble, controller response windows.
  • 3.2 AI Routing and Escalation — auto-execute vs human-review gates with stamped authority.
  • 3.3 Industrial / Hardware Health — vibration/thermal drift into maintenance and shutdown policy.
  • 3.4 Chemistry / Process Safety — lab/plant “allowed / controlled / forbid” with replayable bands.

This span is deliberate: money, decisions, machines, safety. If it works here, it generalizes to:
clinical monitoring, structural fatigue, cyber drift, grid load, environmental compliance, and more—without changing the core SSMDE contract.


Adapter authoring checklist (for your team)

[ ] Declare domain facts in value (untouched)
[ ] Compute align with bounded pipeline; document w, eps_a, eps_w
[ ] Publish band cutpoints + response windows in the manifest
[ ] Mint/rotate manifest_id when policy changes
[ ] Stamp for accountability in regulated settings
[ ] Provide a minimal and a full disclosure mode for privacy
