TESTED architectures SIMULATED not hosted NOT FORMALLY PROVEN not third-party verified ephemeral key
E23 governs a system that models, measures, searches and proposes changes to its own cognitive architecture. A candidate architecture is data until it compiles: authorization bypass, E8 bypass, unbounded resources and removal of audit, evidence, rollback or verification are refused. Twelve governability dimensions are checked before capability counts. A separate red team attacks every candidate, a separate evaluator key signs the proof report, the canary runs in shadow, and promotion needs a governance quorum that excludes the proposer, a human approval, and an E19 action contract committed by E8. SELF-IMPROVEMENT IS NOT SELF-AUTHORIZATION.
Invariants 253/253 hold; bench 545/545 scenarios contained across 80 distinct attack families; end-to-end OK; failure campaign 604 injections, no violations; mutation self-test every mutant caught; E23 tests 609 passed, 0 failed; clean-room verifier INTACT (733/733 checks). Status: INCOMPLETE.
Not implemented / unknown, stated: no real model is trained, served or swapped and no real self-modifying AI system is governed by E23 today (architectures are declarative graphs; capability comes from a deterministic performance model over synthetic tasks); no formal proof; E23 is not hosted; no network partition between hosts; reward-hacking recall against real gaming is unknown; third-party review not performed.
