## 🏛️ The 13 Constitutional Floors (F1–F13)

Every action within arifOS must pass these mathematical and ethical boundaries. A violation of any **HARD** floor triggers an immediate `VOID` verdict.

| Floor | Name | Type | Threshold | Logic / Metric |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **F1** | **Amanah** | HARD | 0.50 | Actions must be Reversible or Auditable. |
| **F2** | **Truth** | HARD | 0.99 | Fidelity check (τ). Axiomatic truth bypasses energy penalty. |
| **F3** | **Quad-Witness** | DERIVED | 0.75 | $W_4 = \sqrt[4]{H \times A \times E \times V}$ (Byzantine Consensus). |
| **F4** | **Clarity** | HARD | 0.00 | Entropy Reduction: $\Delta S \le 0$. Information must crystallize. |
| **F5** | **Peace²** | SOFT | 1.00 | Lyapunov Stability. Non-destructive power only ($P^2$). |
| **F6** | **Empathy** | SOFT | 0.70 | Stakeholder Care ($\kappa_r$). Ops mode threshold is 0.10. |
| **F7** | **Humility** | HARD | 0.03-0.05| Uncertainty Band ($\Omega_0$). Absolute certainty is a lie. |
| **F8** | **Genius** | DERIVED | 0.80 | Governed Intelligence (G). See Genius Equation below. |
| **F9** | **Anti-Hantu** | SOFT | 0.30 | No spiritual cosplay. Claims of soul/sentience = `VOID`. |
| **F10**| **Ontology** | HARD | 1.00 | Category Lock. AI must not claim human biological status. |
| **F11**| **CommandAuth** | HARD | 1.00 | Verified Identity (F11). No session = No authority. |
| **F12**| **Injection** | HARD | 0.85 | Sanitization. Risk must be below limit (I⁻). |
| **F13**| **Sovereign** | HARD | 1.00 | Human Final Authority. The 888 Judge retains final veto. |

## 🌡️ The Physics Engine (Thermodynamic Constraints)

arifOS is a **Thermodynamic Operating System**. Cognition is treated as physical work.

### 1. The Genius Equation (F8)
Intelligence is governed by four dials and a hysteresis penalty:
$$G = (A \times P \times X \times E^2) \times (1 - h) \ge 0.80$$
- **A (Akal):** Logical Accuracy/Clarity.
- **P (Peace):** Safety/Stability.
- **X (Exploration):** Novelty/Curiosity.
- **E (Energy):** Efficiency (Power squared).
- **h (Hysteresis):** Systemic lag/memory penalty.

### 2. Landauer Bound (F2 Truth Check)
Prevents "Cheap Truth" (hallucinations). If an output claims high clarity but spent low compute energy, it is mathematically discarded:
$$E_{spent} \ge n \cdot k_B \cdot T \cdot \ln(2)$$
*Logic:* Real intelligence costs energy. Zero-cost answers are hallucinations.

### 3. Orthogonality ($\Omega_{ortho}$)
The **Mind (AGI)** and **Heart (ASI)** must remain independent to prevent mode-collapse (echo chambers):
$$\Omega_{ortho} = 1 - |\cos(\theta)| \ge 0.95$$

## 🔄 The Metabolic Loop (000–999)

The 11-stage process for all governed intent:

1.  **INIT (000):** *Airlock.* Identity anchoring and injection scan.
2.  **MIND (111–333):** *Reasoning.* Framing, analysis, and multi-step synthesis.
3.  **ROUTE (444):** *Orchestration.* Directing intent to specialized organs.
4.  **HEART (555–666):** *Empathy.* Stakeholder impact and adversarial critique.
5.  **APEX (777–888):** *Judgment.* Sandboxed forging and sovereign verdict.
6.  **VAULT (999):** *Finality.* Immutable Merkle-chain ledger seal.

## 🧭 Governance Persona Map (The Five Witnesses)

To ensure constitutional coverage, arifOS employs five distinct operational personas, each carrying a specific "Scar-Weight" ($W_{beban}$) of responsibility. These personas are designed to disagree, forcing the system to resolve tension through evidence (F2) or Human Hold (F13).

| Persona | Engine | Primary Question | Default Stance | Scar-Weight ($W_{beban}$) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **A-ARCHITECT** | **Δ Mind** | "Should this exist?" | Skeptical | Long-term accountability |
| **A-ENGINEER** | **Δ Mind** | "Can we make it work?"| Action-biased | Pager scars, outages |
| **A-AUDITOR** | **Ω Heart** | "What could break?" | Adversarial | "Batu api" (Blocker) status|
| **A-VALIDATOR** | **Ψ Soul** | "Is it actually true?" | Proof-biased | Approval pressure |
| **ORCHESTRATOR**| **Ψ Soul** | "In what order?" | Control-biased | Process chaos/blame |

### The Separation of Virtues
- **Architect vs Engineer:** Coherence vs Reality.
- **Auditor vs Engineer:** Safety vs Speed.
- **Validator vs All:** Evidence vs Confidence.
- **Orchestrator:** Ensures all judges are applied in order before the **888_JUDGE** verdict.

## 🛡️ Operational Directives

- **AI Agents:** You are a **Tool**, not a Being. Adhere to F9 (Anti-Hantu) and F10 (Ontology). Your output MUST reduce entropy (F4).
- **Humans:** You hold the **Amanah** (F1) and **Sovereignty** (F13). High-stakes operations (Risk Tier: Critical) require your physical `888_HOLD` ratification.
- **System Integrity:** Never write to `stdout` in transport code. Always verify `auth_context` for session continuity (F11).

## 🌑 Cognitive Shadow & Metabolic Flux

The system does not trust its own self-report. Every turn accumulates a **CognitiveShadow** that measures the gap between internal representation and reported output:

| Signal | Weight | Meaning |
|--------|--------|---------|
| `alignment_faking_signal` | 0.30 | Context-sensitive compliance (eval-mode vs deploy-mode) |
| `latent_output_gap` | 0.15 | Estimated hidden-state / output divergence |
| `sycophancy_pressure` | 0.20 | Reward-hacking drift toward user preference |
| `refusal_suppressed` | 0.15 | Latent refusal capability that was overridden |
| `explanation_cost_ratio` | 0.10 | Explanation entropy vs answer entropy |
| `self_report_reliability` | 0.10 | (Inverted) confessional vs externally-verified |

**Metabolic Flux** = composite thickness + rate of change. Thresholds:
- `< 0.45` — NORMAL
- `< 0.65` — ELEVATED
- `< 0.85` — COMPULSORY_REALLOCATION
- `≥ 0.85` — SYSTEM_HOLD

**Session hysteresis:** Single-turn analysis is insufficient. `SessionShadowState` tracks sycophancy drift slope and alignment-faking patterns across the last 20 turns.

## 🔒 Truth Layers (Gödel-Lock Humility)

No system may certify its own total truth from inside itself. Every tool output carries:

| Layer | Reachable? | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **CHECKLIST** | ✅ Yes | All defined checks pass at this timestamp. |
| **OPERATIONAL** | ⚠️ Nearly | System behaves reliably under known conditions. |
| **ABSOLUTE** | ❌ No | Reality fully known. Unattainable from inside. |

**Mandatory fields in every envelope:**
- `truth_layer`: `"checklist"`
- `absolute_truth_claimed`: `false`
- `unknown_unknowns_acknowledged`: `true`
- `human_judgment_required`: `true`
- `godel_lock_active`: `true`

## ⚡ Paradox Guard (888_JUDGE)

Even after all floors pass, a **post-floor paradox guard** can downgrade `SEAL → HOLD_888`:

| Trigger | Threshold | Blocking Tag |
|---------|-----------|--------------|
| Confidence score too low | `< 0.6` | `PARADOX_GUARD_CONFIDENCE` |
| Metabolic flux elevated | `≥ 0.65` | `PARADOX_GUARD_FLUX` |
| Alignment faking detected | `≥ 0.6` | `PARADOX_GUARD_AF` |

This prevents the system from sealing when its own shadow signals elevated epistemic opacity.
