CAIN-42 claim

C42-E40-BOUNDED

a child budget never exceeds its parent; degradation never increases authority; autonomy never increases because an agent requests it

Last reviewed 2026-10-01

TESTED

The claim

a child budget never exceeds its parent; degradation never increases authority; autonomy never increases because an agent requests it

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.

Evidence files

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).

Limitations of this bundle

• An in-process TESTED library; not hosted. There is no live ERP, CRM, database or cloud integration: enterprise objects are registry entries.
• State reconciliation and prediction are deterministic and structure-based, not learned; they model governance structure, not real business truth.
• No real financial, customer, supplier or operational data is ingested. Digital-twin and simulation results are SIMULATED and are never real-world validation.
• Completion checking verifies that configured evidence exists, not that the evidence is true in the world.
• The enterprise layer has no authority: it proposes and models only; the deterministic kernel and E8 still decide.
• Moat and product maps are technical foundations only; no market moat, customers, revenue or adoption is claimed.
• Mutation self-testing runs each mutant against the bench subset that exercises the mutated component.
• Scale rows reuse the E33 synthetic in-process benchmark; the enterprise layer adds a 200-object row.
• No third party has independently verified anything in this bundle.
