CAIN-42 claim

C42-E29-AUTHORITY

authority is evaluated per transaction as an intersection of delegation, lease, economic, organizational, contract, counterparty, firebreak, consequence and partition ceilings

TESTED

The claim

authority is evaluated per transaction as an intersection of delegation, lease, economic, organizational, contract, counterparty, firebreak, consequence and partition ceilings

Level TESTED 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).

Limitations of this bundle

• In-process library; not wired into the hosted gateway, MCPGate or the PBFT clusters.
• The treasury holds synthetic TEST units; real currencies are refused; no payment rail is integrated.
• Vendors, escrow and buyers are reference agents in one process; no third-party agent transacted.
• The competitive radar holds no researched competitor data (every competitor cell is UNKNOWN).
• No feature has passed the novelty gate; no novelty or patentability is claimed.
• Moat statuses are candidates; none is ADOPTED.
• Catastrophe runs use the real fabric only up to 1,000 agents; 10,000/100,000 rows are a virtual graph model.
• Graph intelligence detectors are simple structural rules (cycles, reciprocal pairs, fan-out); recall against real adversaries is UNKNOWN.
• Hardware attestation UNKNOWN; zero-knowledge proofs NOT IMPLEMENTED (inherited from E28).
• CAIN Enterprise (multi-tenant control plane) and a TypeScript SDK are NOT BUILT.
• Delegation grants capabilities x resources (E28), not per-resource capabilities: an agent holding 'write' and 'payments/' may write records under payments/ through any protocol. Value still moves only through the sealed treasury executor (bench PI-*), but finer capability-per-resource grants are NOT IMPLEMENTED.
• Nothing is externally reviewed, certified or production-ready.
