SSMDE — Independence, Legal Position, and Interoperability (14.0–14.6)

Open, non-exclusive semantics that ride any transport without legal friction.

14.0 Overview
SSMDE is an open standard for transmitting responsibility, not just fields. It is designed to be adopted anywhere without gatekeepers, fees, or vendor lock-in, while preserving clear citation and compliant use.

14.1 Independence and ownership

  • Open, non-exclusive: Free to implement in public/private/industrial/regulatory contexts; no central registry required.
  • Required citation: Reference “Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematical Data Exchange (SSMDE)” when adopting/adapting the model.
  • No gatekeeping: Nobody may claim exclusive stewardship or “official registry” status.
  • Why this matters: Keeps adoption lightweight, fair, and deployable even under emergency or air-gapped conditions.

14.2 Why SSMDE is not “just another serialization format”
Traditional formats answer “Can I parse this?” SSMDE answers “Can I prove what we knew, how serious it looked, which policy applied, and whether we acted on time?”
Core semantics that define SSMDE (independent of container):

  • value — untouched fact (collapse parity holds: phi((m,a)) = m).
  • align — bounded trust/stress dial in (-1,+1) via clamp → atanh → fuse → tanh.
  • band — action stance now (optional but recommended), derived from align.
  • manifest_id — frozen rulebook in force.
  • stamp — portable proof of time+order+content.

14.3 How SSMDE coexists with existing formats

  • Transport-agnostic: Emit SSMDE inside APIs, message buses, logs, tables, files, or spreadsheets.
  • No plumbing rewrite: Keep your payloads; add SSMDE pillars: value, align, band, manifest_id, stamp.
  • Positioning: You’re not claiming your transport “becomes SSMDE”; you’re carrying SSMDE semantics inside it.

14.4 How to ship SSMDE without legal friction

  • Preserve the truth lane: value remains unaltered; phi((m,a)) = m must hold.
  • Provide the trust lane: publish the pipeline:
    a_c := clamp(a_raw, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)u := atanh(a_c)U += w*u; W += walign := tanh(U / max(W, eps_w)) (declare eps_a, eps_w, w rules).
  • Attach the rulebook: include manifest_id with numeric cutpoints, required actions, timing windows, assumptions/limits.
  • Avoid exclusivity claims: do not present your system as the sole authority.
  • Cite the origin & boundary: name the model and state as-is / no warranty / no endorsement.

14.5 What you are allowed to say publicly
You may say:

  • “We emit SSMDE-style / SSMDE-compliant records.”
  • “Our records include a bounded trust dial (align) and policy-linked bands (band) with manifest_id.”
  • “We include chained integrity (stamp) proving when and in which order we knew.”
    You should not say: “We exclusively control SSMDE,” or imply automatic legal immunity.

14.6 Responsibilities when you emit SSMDE

  • No hiding risk: emit align even when negative.
  • Stand by the manifest: bands and timing mean what the manifest declares.
  • Keep the timeline honest: stamp forbids silent reorder/delete/retrofit.
  • Respect human gates: if band == "HUMAN-REVIEW", don’t auto-execute.
    In plain terms: “Here is what we saw, how serious it looked, what policy required, when we knew, and proof we said it then.”

One-line takeaway
SSMDE is an open, transport-agnostic accountability layer — truth (value), trust (align), action (band), rulebook (manifest_id), and proof (stamp) — that any organization can adopt without lock-in, while keeping policy and timing defensible.
