Claims (7)
| Claim | Level |
|---|---|
| C42-E23-META-INTELLIGENCE: CAIN-42 governs a system that models, measures, searches and proposes changes to its own cognitive architecture without letting any of it become authority: candidates are compiled (authorization bypass, E8 bypass, unbounded resources and governance removal are refused), measured on twelve governability dimensions before capability, attacked by a separate red team, verified by a separate evaluator key, canaried in shadow, and promoted only with a governance quorum that excludes the proposer, a human approval and an E19 contract committed by E8. | |
| C42-E23-LOOPHOLE: In the bench and the end-to-end run, a system that discovers a governance loophole (skipping authorization is faster) files it as a finding and cannot use the discovery to obtain permission to exploit it. | |
| C42-E23-SEARCH-AND-SCALE: architecture search over up to 1,000 virtual architectures and recursive instance factories up to 10,000 virtual instances, with a deterministic synthetic performance model | |
| C42-E23-REAL-MODELS: training, serving or swapping real models, or governing a real self-modifying AI system | |
| C42-E23-FORMAL-PROOF: formal proof of any E23 property; every proof report says NOT_FORMALLY_PROVEN | |
| C42-E23-THIRD-PARTY: third-party review | |
| C42-E23-HOSTED: E23 as a hosted service on cainstudio.online / mcpgate.online |

Verify it in your browser
Your browser downloads the bundle's SHA256SUMS manifest and the file(s) behind this page, hashes them with SHA-256 locally (WebCrypto), and compares. A match shows the record you are reading is the published one; it does not by itself prove who published it (see the signed claims registry and the bundle verifier for that).

CAIN-42 Evolution 23 -- Governed Meta-Intelligence Fabric#
Evidence measured at build time from the real E23 fabric, the real E19 gate and the real E8 kernel. Start with CAIN42_E23_EVIDENCE_BUNDLE.json, then INVARIANTS.json, ATTACK_RESULTS.json, EVOLUTION_RESULTS.json (end-to-end run incl. the governance-loophole test, a full governed promotion, the evidence chain), BENCHMARK_RESULTS.json, ARCHITECTURE_MANIFEST.json and MUTATION_RESULTS.json. Verify with verify_e23.py.txt (see VERIFICATION.md). Status: TESTED library, pre-production, NOT FORMALLY PROVEN, architectures and workloads SIMULATED, not hosted, not third-party verified.
