From raw reading to defendable declaration — end-to-end flow
One record, all four pillars
Goal: carry fact, stability, policy, and proof in one portable unit.
Canonical flow (sender):
# 0) Source reading (do not alter)
value := source_reading # collapse parity holds: phi((m,a)) = m
# 1) Compute alignment dial (bounded, replayable)
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) )
# 2) Map align to a human band via manifest cutpoints
band := band_from_align(align, manifest_id)
# 3) Build canonical subset for hashing
canonical := { "value": value, "align": align, "band": band, "manifest_id": manifest_id }
# 4) Stamp (time + digest + chain)
digest := sha256(bytes(canonical))
stamp := "SSMCLOCK1|" + utc_now() + "|theta=" + monotonic_marker() +
"|sha256=" + digest + "|prev=" + prev_digest
prev_digest := digest
# 5) Emit SSMDE record
emit({ value, align, band, manifest_id, stamp })
What the receiver does (no vendor calls required)
on_receive(record):
# 1) Verify digest parity
expect := sha256(bytes(canonical(record)))
assert parse(record.stamp, "sha256") == expect
# 2) Verify chain continuity
assert parse(record.stamp, "prev") == last_digest
last_digest := expect
# 3) Recompute align to check math parity (optional but recommended)
align' := recompute_align(history, weights, eps_a, eps_w)
assert approx_equal(align', record.align)
# 4) Enforce band promises (from manifest)
action := action_for(record.band, record.manifest_id)
schedule(action)
Operator’s eye view (why this helps humans)
- Value is still the number they know:
phi((m,a)) = m
- Align shows stability now, on a bounded dial:
-1 < align < +1
- Band converts math to clear duty-of-care (
"A0","A-","CRITICAL"). - Manifest makes the rulebook explicit and versioned.
- Stamp makes the statement provable later — even offline.

Quality gate (both sides)
[ ] phi((m,a)) = m # collapse parity verified
[ ] align ∈ (-1,+1) # bounded dial
[ ] order-invariant fuse # batch==stream parity holds
[ ] manifest_id resolves # rulebook available and immutable
[ ] stamp digest + chain verified # integrity + order proven
[ ] band → action window enforced # duty-of-care executed/logged
