The irreducible bar to honestly claim “SSMDE”
9.0 Quick Read (non-technical)
What must be present. A record must carry value (untouched truth), align (bounded trust/stress dial in (-1,+1) via clamp -> atanh -> accumulate -> tanh), and manifest_id (the frozen rulebook). Strongly recommended: band (action stance) and stamp (time+order chain).
# collapse parity (always protect the truth lane)
phi((m,a)) = m
One-line test. Strip lanes/policy and you still get exactly the original m. If not, it isn’t SSMDE.
9.1 Mandatory fields
1) value — the untouched observation
Carry exactly what happened; do not normalize/smooth and still call it value.
# examples inside value
value: { temperature_K: 296.42 }
value: { cash_collected_usd: 18420.77 }
value: { bearing_vibration_rms: 0.037 }
value: { ai_model_score: 0.912 }
2) align — bounded trust/stability dial in (-1,+1)
Computed with declared math; replayable and comparable.
# reference pipeline
a_c := clamp(a, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a)
u := atanh(a_c)
U += w*u
W += w
align := tanh( U / max(W, eps_w) )
3) manifest_id — which rulebook was in force
Resolves thresholds, guards, weighting rule, baseline lens, gating, and validity envelope at that moment.
# non-negotiable core
record must include: value, align, manifest_id
9.2 Strongly recommended fields
4) band — the action stance
Derived from align via numeric cutpoints declared in the manifest; it drives routing, escalation, throttling, shutdown, or human-review.
# example band cutpoints (illustrative)
"GREEN" if align >= +0.5
"AMBER" if -0.2 <= align < +0.5
"RED" if align < -0.2
5) stamp — verifiable time + order + content
Tamper-evident single line; proves when, what bytes, and sequence position.
# illustrative stamp shape
SSMCLOCK1|2025-10-31T14:05:22Z|θ=132.77|sha256=9fde1c...|prev=72af0b...
9.3 Optional extensions
Declare any extensions in the manifest so receivers interpret them correctly.
# common extensions (illustrative)
env_gate: <0..1 or (-1,+1)> # contextual damping that modifies effective band
advisory_code: "THROTTLE_AND_WATCH"
sensor_ok: false
# multi-signal value bundles still obey:
# - value untouched
# - align from declared math
# - manifest_id resolves policy
9.4 What is not required
No mandated transport, schema, broker, blockchain, or online service.
# you can implement SSMDE via:
- spreadsheets / flat-file exports
- on-prem PLC logs
- hospital consoles
- AI routing gateways
- private finance dashboards
Air-gapped and confidential environments are first-class: no phone-home.
9.5 Examples of “compliant” vs “not compliant”
Compliant (minimum core)
{
value: { temperature_K: 296.42 },
align: +0.87,
manifest_id: "THERMAL_LINE_COOLING_PLANT_A_v7"
}
Compliant (recommended for audit-grade duty)
{
value: { cash_collected_usd: 18420.77 },
align: -0.31,
band: "A-",
manifest_id: "AR_STABILITY_Q4_CLOSE_v2",
stamp: "SSMCLOCK1|2025-10-31T14:05:22Z|θ=044.91|sha256=ab12d4...|prev=89c2aa..."
}
Not compliant (traditional telemetry with a sticker)
{
value: { temperature_C: 23.27 },
status: "OK"
}
# missing align and manifest_id; "OK" is not a declared numeric policy stance
One-line takeaway (Section 9).
To honestly claim SSMDE, you must ship value (untouched truth), align (bounded, published trust math), and manifest_id (the frozen policy). band and stamp turn the record into action + proof—essential wherever safety, money, compliance, or careers are on the line.
