# v1.3.5 — The Neural Horizon Update

## 🚀 Overview
Version 1.3.5 marks the most significant architectural pivot in the history of the Ternary Intelligence Stack (TIS). We have successfully transitioned from a symbolic, deterministic logic engine to a **hardware-verified, neural-native MoE Transformer architecture (MoE-13)**. This release synchronizes the entire ecosystem—over 100 crates—to a unified production baseline, ready for frontier-scale deployment and scientific auditing.

## 🧠 The Neural Pivot (MoE-13)
The core of TIS is now a generative neural engine optimized for ternary manifolds.
- **Hardware-Verified Sparsity:** Empirically identified the **10.06% sparsity threshold** where ternary-native hardware compute definitively outperforms traditional binary dense operations.
- **Trit-Transformer Foundation:** Implemented `moe-llm-core` featuring functional Attention and MLP blocks, specialized for ternary weight distributions.
- **Straight-Through Estimation (STE):** Integrated differentiable ternary optimization, allowing standard gradient-based training on discrete ternary weights.
- **Copernicus-v1:** Initialized training of our first 1B-parameter seed model on the King James Bible corpus, validating the end-to-end data-to-inference pipeline.

## 🛡️ The MoE Safety Suite
As part of our commitment to sovereign AI safety, we have rebranded and hardened our containment layer.
- **moe-llb (v1.3.6):** Formerly `albert-llb`, the "Last Look Back" protocol provides a deterministic, hardware-level gate for filesystem operations.
- **moe-reference (v1.3.6):** Centralized security patterns and best practices for developing on the MoE-13 architecture.
- **ternaudit-guard:** Automated adversarial audit module that validates training reproducibility and detects manifold drift.

## 🔄 Global Synchronization
- **Unified Versioning:** 100+ crates synchronized to **v1.3.5**.
- **Rust Edition 2024:** Migrated the entire workspace to the latest stable Rust edition for maximum performance and safety.
- **Repo Portability:** Scrubbed all hardcoded absolute paths. The entire stack is now fully portable across environments.
- **Vocabulary Engineering:** New `token_train` utility for generating custom `WordLevel` and `BPE` vocabularies optimized for trit-based tokenization.

## 🔬 Scientific Baseline (SPRIND-Grade)
This release establishes a rigorous empirical baseline for the SPRIND Next Frontier AI Challenge:
- **`CHECKPOINT_SPEC.md`:** Formal binary format for bit-packed trit-stream weight matrices.
- **`REPRODUCIBILITY_AUDIT.md`:** A self-falsifiable verification framework for neural training cycles.
- **`GROUND_TRUTH_LEARNING.md`:** Documentation of the sparsity-to-performance crossover points.
