Control-System Functional Differentiation

Ordinary sensing, conditional logic, authorization, command behavior, and audit logging are separated from proposition-specific continuity, admissibility, authority, and consequence claims.

EXECUTABLE ARTIFACT · INSPECT THE PROOF

This is the artifact itself.

The determination below is generated by executing the frozen specification through the TA-14 eight-stage harness. The specification, predicates, trace, receipt, manifest and package root are exposed here for inspection and reproduction.
