ETHRAEON Whitepaper — ΔSUM 4.0 AGI-CLASS-ASI
T5-RIGID — VERIFIED SYSTEM STATEETHRAEON's core architecture is organized as the Forest Constellation—three interlocking systems that provide complete coverage of AI governance requirements:
Implements Patent specifications #8 (Harmonic), #9 (Attunement), and #10 (Semiotic). ARCANUM provides integrity verification at every processing layer through harmonic attestation—ensuring that outputs are traceable to inputs through cryptographically verifiable paths.
Manages agent lifecycles, capability boundaries, and separation of duties. GENESIS ensures that no single agent can operate outside its authorized scope, and that all inter-agent communication passes through governed channels.
Every action in the ETHRAEON system produces an Evidence Graph (EDG) node. TRACELET maintains the append-only audit trail that makes every system state change traceable, verifiable, and tamper-evident. Version 1.1 with EDG runs on port 8001.
The operational heart of ETHRAEON. PRAXIS-1 implements a 7-Gate Pipeline through which every agent action must pass:
| Gate | Function | Enforcement |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Intake | Accept and parse incoming request | Schema validation, input sanitization |
| 2. Classify | Determine governance tier and action type | T1-T5 classification, authority check |
| 3. Validate | Verify against constitutional rules | T5-RIGID 5-rule enforcement |
| 4. Route | Direct to appropriate execution agent | Capability token verification |
| 5. Execute | Perform the authorized action | Bounded execution, timeout enforcement |
| 6. Evidence | Record action and result to Evidence Store | SHA-256 hash chain append |
| 7. Emit | Return result and update system state | EDG node emission, state reconciliation |
Implementation: 26 Python files | Tests: 5/5 passing | Status: Operational (local), VPS deployment pending
Version 0.2 implements a dual-backend append-only evidence store:
Core operations: append(), verify_chain(), get_record(), count()
Every record is linked to its predecessor via SHA-256 hash, creating a tamper-evident chain. Chain verification runs at startup and can be triggered at any time.
The ETHRAEON Universal Design System provides 10 canonical color tokens applied uniformly across all production surfaces:
| Token | Value | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| midnight | #0a0a0f | Primary background |
| deep-blue | #1a1a2e | Secondary background, cards |
| ocean | #16213e | Tertiary backgrounds |
| teal | #0f3460 | Borders, separators |
| sage | #533483 | Accent, highlights |
| warm-gray | #e0e0e0 | Body text |
| cream | #f5f5f0 | Headings, emphasis |
| pure-white | #ffffff | Maximum contrast text |
| gold | #d4af37 | Brand accent, CTAs |
| ember | #e74c3c | Alerts, critical status |
Coverage: 343/343 surfaces (100%). Applied via CSS custom properties for consistent theming.
T5-RIGID is the highest governance tier in the ETHRAEON framework. It consists of 5 immutable rules enforced at every system layer:
The 7-layer architecture enforces governance from constitutional principles through operational execution:
| Layer | Function |
|---|---|
| 1. Constitutional | Immutable principles (T5-RIGID rules) |
| 2. Policy | Operational policies (PROMOTION_ONLY, authority levels) |
| 3. Directive | Append-only command chain (700+ sealed) |
| 4. Runtime | PRAXIS-1 7-Gate Pipeline enforcement |
| 5. Evidence | SHA-256 hash chain, TraceLock seals |
| 6. Audit | Chain verification, integrity checks |
| 7. Surface | Production deployment (343 verified surfaces) |
ETHRAEON is designed for a world where ASI-capable systems exist. The containment posture is built into the architecture:
