CAIN-42 claim

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.

The claim

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.

Level is how far the evidence goes: TESTED means a test suite exercised it, LIVE means it was observed on the hosted system. Nothing is claimed beyond its level.

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).
