The 2026 development
Google reported multi-agent retrieval of remote protein relatives from large sequence and structure archives.
The governance gap
Retrieval agents improve the inputs to specialist models, which makes the retrieval trail part of the scientific result. A missing or misordered archive query can change the conclusion.
Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 4 — Execution Provenance & Attestation
Core question: Can we prove what actually happened? Hash-chained, signed records binding decision to execution to observable effect.
Record the archive, query, result set, version and retrieval time for every step, and bind the downstream model input to that record. A specialist model's output inherits the provenance of its inputs.
How the wiring works
- Log each archive query with its parameters and result digest.
- Record archive versions and retrieval timestamps.
- Bind the model input to the retrieval record.
- Export the chain with the result for independent review.
What is real today
PROPOSED A design mapping only. No dedicated implementation exists yet; do not buy this as a finished control.
No biological archive connector exists here. This is a provenance design, not a scientific result.
