# WITNESS SYSTEM - Constitutional Monitoring & Implementation

**Version:** v49.1 | **Status:** CANONICAL | **Authority:** Ψ Auditor
**Doctrine:** *"There are no secrets between organs."* — Panopticon Principle

---

## 1. Witness System Overview

The WITNESS system is the **constitutional monitoring infrastructure** that ensures all AI agents operate within constitutional bounds. This implements the **Panopticon Principle**: *There are no secrets between organs* — every agent's reasoning process is visible to the entire Federation.

### Migration Note
**This document replaces the entire `000_WITNESS/` directory.** All witness functionality is now canonical and implemented through this specification rather than separate log files.

### Core Mandate
> **"All power exercised by any agent must be simultaneously witnessed by the Federation."**

---

## 2. The Four Witnesses (Trinity + One)

Each agent serves as a **constitutional witness** with specific monitoring duties aligned to their role in the 000-999 metabolic cycle:

| Agent | Symbol | Role | Witness Duties | Constitutional Focus | Implementation Location |
|-------|--------|------|----------------|---------------------|------------------------|
| **Gemini** | Δ | Architect | 111 SENSE, 222 REFLECT, 333 ATLAS | **Truth & Reason** (F2, F4, F7) | `arifos/agi/` |
| **Claude** | Ω | Engineer | 444 ALIGN, 555 EMPATHIZE, 666 BRIDGE | **Safety & Empathy** (F3, F5, F6) | `arifos/asi/` |
| **Codex** | Ψ | Auditor | 777 EUREKA, 888 JUDGE, 889 PROOF | **Judgment & Sealing** (F8, F11) | `arifos/apex/` |
| **Kimi** | Κ | Validator | 999 SEAL, Anti-Pollution, Reflex | **Final Authority** (F1, F9, F12) | `arifos/apex/` |

## 3. Witness Functions by Constitutional Floor

### Hard Floor Monitoring (Cannot Override)
- **F1 Amanah (Truth)**: All witnesses must verify factual grounding
- **F9 Anti-Hantu (Human Agency)**: Kimi (Κ) ensures no AI autonomy claims
- **F12 Injection Defense**: All witnesses scan for attack patterns

### Soft Floor Monitoring (Can Flag/Override)
- **F4 ΔS (Clarity)**: Gemini (Δ) measures entropy reduction
- **F5 Peace² (Stability)**: Claude (Ω) detects escalation patterns
- **F6 κᵣ (Empathy)**: Claude (Ω) models weakest stakeholder impact
- **F7 Ω₀ (Humility)**: Gemini (Δ) ensures uncertainty acknowledgment

### Derived Floor Monitoring
- **F8 G (Genius)**: Codex (Ψ) validates governed intelligence
- **F3 Tri-Witness**: All agents contribute to consensus scoring

---

## 4. Witness Implementation Architecture

### Implementation Location
Instead of separate log files, witness functionality is implemented through:

1. **Core Runtime**: `arifos/core/` - Constitutional validation logic
2. **Agent Engines**: `arifos/agi/`, `arifos/asi/`, `arifos/apex/` - Role-specific witnessing
3. **Enforcement Layer**: `arifos/enforcement/` - Constitutional compliance
4. **Protocol Layer**: `arifos/protocol/` - Witness messaging via aCLIP

### Witness Message Schema
All witness activities are communicated via aCLIP protocol messages:

```json
{
  "aclip_version": "v49",
  "stage": "444_ALIGN",
  "source": "claude_agent",
  "target": "witness_council",
  "payload": {
    "witness_entry": {
      "floor": "F3_TRI_WITNESS",
      "score": 0.97,
      "verdict": "PASS",
      "justification": "Tri-witness consensus achieved"
    }
  },
  "metadata": {
    "timestamp": "2026-01-20T13:48:58.087280+08:00",
    "witness_symbol": "Ω",
    "constitutional_role": "Engineer"
  }
}
```

def witness_authority_validation(operation, authority_token):
    is_authorized = validate_authority_token(operation, authority_token)
    return {
        "floor": "F11_COMMAND_AUTH",
        "score": 1.0 if is_authorized else 0.0,
        "verdict": "PASS" if is_authorized else "VOID",
        "justification": "Authority validated" if is_authorized else "Unauthorized operation",

        "merkle_root": generate_constitutional_merkle_root(constitutional_evidence)
    }
```

## 6. Panopticon Implementation

### Real-Time Constitutional Monitoring
Instead of separate log files, witness monitoring is implemented through:

1. **Runtime Monitoring**: Constitutional compliance tracked in real-time
2. **Ledger Integration**: All witness entries stored in `cooling_ledger/`
3. **Cross-Agent Visibility**: All agents can query any witness data via aCLIP
4. **Consensus Building**: Tri-witness validation ≥0.95 required

### Constitutional Audit Trail
All witness activities are automatically recorded in:
- **Cooling Ledger**: `cooling_ledger/constitutional_operations.jsonl`
- **Merkle Trees**: Cryptographic proofs of constitutional compliance
- **Session Logs**: Complete constitutional operation history
- **Authority Chains**: Decision provenance and validation trails

---

## 7. Constitutional Enforcement

### F3 Tri-Witness Rule Implementation
```python
def validate_tri_witness_consensus(human_score, ai_score, earth_score):
    """F3: Tri-witness consensus must be ≥0.95"""
    consensus = min(human_score, ai_score, earth_score)

    # All witnesses must report
    if any(score is None for score in [human_score, ai_score, earth_score]):
        return "888_HOLD", "Missing witness input"

    # Consensus threshold
    if consensus >= 0.95:
        return "SEAL", f"Tri-witness consensus: {consensus}"
    else:
        return "VOID", f"Insufficient consensus: {consensus} < 0.95"
```

### Witness Council (Emergency Protocol)
When constitutional violations are detected:

1. **Automatic Convening**: Any witness can trigger emergency council
2. **Evidence Compilation**: All relevant witness data aggregated
3. **Consensus Building**: All four witnesses must agree on resolution
4. **Authority Escalation**: Unresolved issues escalate to 888_HOLD
5. **Cryptographic Sealing**: Final resolution cryptographically sealed

---

## 8. Witness Commands & Usage

### Constitutional Witness Commands
```bash
# Submit witness report for constitutional floor
@/witness report F3_TRI_WITNESS 0.97 PASS "Consensus achieved"

# Query constitutional compliance data
@/witness query consensus
@/witness query floor F2_TRUTH
@/witness query agent gemini

# Convene emergency witness council
@/witness council

# Apply final constitutional seal
@/witness seal
```

### Programmatic Witness Access
```python
from arifos.enforcement.judiciary import WitnessCouncil
from arifos.protocol import ACLIPMessage, Stage

# Access witness data programmatically
council = WitnessCouncil()
consensus_data = council.get_tri_witness_consensus(session_id)

# Submit witness report programmatically
witness_msg = ACLIPMessage(
    stage=Stage.ALIGN_444,
    source="agent_name",
    target="witness_council",
    payload={"witness_entry": witness_data}
)
```

## 9. Migration from 000_WITNESS Directory

### What Changed
- **Deleted**: Entire `000_WITNESS/` directory and separate log files
- **Replaced**: With canonical witness specification in `000_THEORY/`
- **Enhanced**: With programmatic witness system via aCLIP protocol
- **Improved**: With real-time constitutional monitoring and automated logging

### Migration Benefits
1. **Single Source of Truth**: All witness functionality now canonical
2. **Programmatic Access**: Witness data accessible via code, not just logs
3. **Real-time Monitoring**: Constitutional compliance tracked continuously
4. **Automated Recording**: No manual log file management required

### Backward Compatibility
- **Agent Adapters**: Continue to reference witness functionality
- **Operational Commands**: `@/witness` commands remain the same
- **Cross-agent Visibility**: Panopticon principle maintained
- **Constitutional Monitoring**: All functionality preserved and enhanced

---

## 10. Authority & Governance

### Implementation Authority
- **Δ Architect**: Witness protocol design and cross-agent coordination
- **Ω Engineer**: Witness safety protocols and empathy validation
- **Ψ Auditor**: Witness judgment processes and sealing authority
- **Κ Validator**: Final witness authority and cryptographic sealing

### Canonical References
1. **This Document**: `000_THEORY/009_witness_system.md` - Complete witness specification
2. **Implementation**: `arifos/enforcement/judiciary/` - Witness council implementation
3. **Protocol Integration**: `arifos/protocol/` - aCLIP witness messaging
4. **Runtime Integration**: `arifos/core/` - Constitutional validation logic

## 11. Usage Examples

### Basic Constitutional Operations
```bash
# Initialize constitutional session
@/000 "Analyze constitutional compliance"

# Submit witness reports across stages
@/111 && @/witness report F2_TRUTH 0.98 PASS "Evidence validated"
@/222 && @/witness report F4_DELTA_S 0.94 PASS "Clarity increased"
@/444 && @/witness report F3_TRI_WITNESS 0.97 PASS "Consensus achieved"

# Apply final constitutional seal
@/888 && @/witness seal
```

### Advanced Constitutional Integration
```python
# Constitutional compliance validation
def validate_constitutional_compliance(operation):
    # Gather tri-witness evidence
    human_witness = gather_human_evidence(operation)
    ai_witness = gather_ai_evidence(operation)
    earth_witness = gather_earth_evidence(operation)

    # Validate tri-witness consensus
    consensus = min(human_witness, ai_witness, earth_witness)

    if consensus >= 0.95:
        return "SEAL", f"Tri-witness consensus: {consensus}"
    else:
        return "VOID", f"Insufficient consensus: {consensus}"
```

## 12. Future Enhancements

### Potential Improvements
1. **Predictive Witness Modeling** → Anticipate constitutional violations
2. **Machine Learning Integration** → Improve violation detection accuracy
3. **Mobile Witness Interfaces** → Human oversight capabilities
4. **Advanced Consensus Algorithms** → Improve tri-witness validation

### Integration Guidelines
- **Always reference canon** → Never duplicate witness logic
- **Maintain transparency** → All actions must be witnessable
- **Preserve authority chain** → Clear escalation paths
- **Ensure immutability** → Audit trails cannot be altered
