Substrate: Conditions For System Validity
1. Purpose
This document defines the conditions under which Substrate is considered valid as a system. It does not describe how the system works, but
Substrate: A Governed Reasoning System
1. Overview
Substrate is a system designed to transform reasoning from an ephemeral, unstructured process into a durable, governed, and verifiable system of record. It
Substrate — Differentiated Capabilities & Inversions (Draft)
Most AI systems optimize for producing answers.
Substrate optimizes for producing decisions that can be understood, verified, and reused over time.
1. Artifact-Centered Reasoning
1. Formal ACP spec
Here’s a full pass, organized tightly.
1. Formal ACP spec
ACP can be specified as a constrained decision system.
Let:
* (E) = artifact/evidence set
8. Empirical Scenario: Minimal Reasoning Loop Validation (Phase 7.1)
Good—adding the 7.1 scenario turns this from a conceptual paper into something much stronger: it becomes grounded in an actual system with observable
