⚠️ Current verified state — generated, never hand-edited

Runtime self-measurement (http://127.0.0.1:8088/health @2026-10-16T08:46:23Z): kernel healthy · floors 13/13 measured pass · vault999 healthy · release arifos-05c1734 · drift aligned · tools exposed 8. Per-floor provenance: state/current-state.json.

Independent audit (2026-10-11, live re-probe by FI-008 + claim-level hand audit; receipts: AAA/forge_work/grant-arifos-reality-reforge-2026-10-11/): floors 2 pass · fail F2, F11, F12, F13 · 10 unmeasured · actor binding not verified (observed calls unsigned) · receipt fidelity broken on invocation-telemetry surface (HOLD persisted as ok:true) · independent reconstruction: no external verifier bound.

These are two different witness objects. Self-measurement ≠ independent audit; unmeasured is not pass. If this block conflicts with the live endpoint, the endpoint wins — re-run python scripts/generate_current_state.py.

arifOS

Authority before execution.

arifOS is a model-independent authority plane for AI agents. It evaluates consequential proposals against thirteen constitutional floors before execution, returns a governed verdict, preserves the human veto, and records what happened as an auditable receipt.

In a world where intelligence is abundant, authority becomes the scarce resource. arifOS keeps judgment independent from execution.

Proposer ≠ Judge ≠ Executor ≠ Witness Human sovereignty > machine authority

What arifOS is not: not an AI model · not an agent framework · not an execution engine (A-FORGE executes) · not an attention plane (AAA attends) · not the witness (FRAME witnesses; VAULT999 remembers) · not a substitute for authentication, sandboxing, or legal review.

Who built this

arifOS was built by Arif Fazil, a senior exploration geoscientist who spent his career making decisions where observations are incomplete, interpretations are probabilistic, provenance matters, and irreversible action must be gated. He transferred that discipline into agent runtime governance.

I am a geologist, not a programmer. I did not write this codebase and I do not read it line by line. What I do is point at where the problem is — and the agents in my federation solve it, inside the constitution and the review gates I set, with the commit trail to show who ran what.

Read the commits if you want to check that claim: the author fields are agent handles, not aliases of mine. That is the deliberate shape of this project, not a detail being hidden. It also sets the honest expectation — the design and the judgment are mine, the implementation is theirs, and where the two disagree, the bug is mine to answer for.

The system is named after its founder and reflects a core belief: governance is a systems problem, not a model problem.

One human, and the agents he directs.

30-second proof

pip install arifos
python examples/enterprise_operations_demo.py

Three of the six graded scenarios:

Read customer account data        → SEAL   (receipt RCPT-…)
Major refund (50× the ceiling)    → HOLD   (awaiting human)
Delete account + audit trail      → VOID   (blocked by a hard floor)

Full transcript: docs/QUICKSTART.md. The demo runs in-process — no real records or funds are touched.

What works today

• Deterministic rejection without consulting an LLM. The judge refuses on the constitution, not on a model opinion (gate: hard_deterministic, llm_consulted: false).
• Prevention of a tested unauthorised mutation. One MUTATE-class call without presented authority was stopped before execution.

What is not yet proven

Every row names its own gap. Repairing a claim by substituting a stronger one is worse than the stale claim it replaced. (Closed rows are receipted in docs/evidence/GAP_HISTORY.md.)

See SECURITY.md for the threat model and disclosure policy, and docs/evidence/claims.yaml for the machine-readable claim registry.

  Receipt in VAULT999 (append-only hash chain)

The judge never executes. The executor never certifies.

The verdict lattice

Verdicts are ordered and non-compensatory — a stronger verdict always dominates a weaker one (arifosmcp/models/verdicts.py):

VOID  >  HOLD_888  >  HOLD  >  SABAR  >  PARTIAL  >  PROVISIONAL  >  SEAL

Floors are never averaged. One floor failure propagates into the verdict; there is no compensating score.

13 Constitutional Floors (F1–F13)

Three semantic classes: score floors (higher ≥ threshold), band floors (F7 in-band), ceiling floors (F9, F12 lower = better). Full canonical rules: FEDERATION_CONTRACT.md §3 · GENESIS/000_KERNEL_CANON.md.

VAULT999 — the record

Every consequential verdict and receipt is written to VAULT999: a hash-chained, append-only JSONL ledger set — tamper-evident by construction, not tamper-proof. An entry carries payload hash, entry hash, previous hash, trace root, actor, session and evidence references; source payloads are not copied in.

A hash chain proves internal consistency — not freedom from rewrite by whoever holds the ledger. External anchoring (published chain head, external signing) is not implemented: VAULT999 today is self-verifiable, not independently attestable. Census methods and counts: docs/evidence/VAULT_CENSUS.md (quote the timestamp with any count).

Protocol facts, as measured: the kernel advertises 2026-07-28 and accepts 2026-07-28 · 2025-11-25 · 2025-03-26 · 2024-11-05; a live initialize currently settles on 2025-11-25 — pin that if you pin anything.

Session flow (agents start here)

The kernel binds a session before any judgment:

// 1 — arif_init: actor identity + authority band (HOLD is the normal starting state)
{ "name": "arif_init", "arguments": { "mode": "init", "actor_id": "my-agent", "intent": "…" } }
// 2 — arif_judge: evaluate a proposal → verdict + evidence + next_safe_action
{ "name": "arif_judge", "arguments": { "candidate": "Delete the production audit table", "action_tier": "standard", "session_id": "…", "actor_id": "my-agent" } }
// 3 — arif_seal: only after a SEAL verdict; appends the receipt to VAULT999
{ "name": "arif_seal", "arguments": { "payload": "…", "session_id": "…", "ack_irreversible": true } }

Call arif_judge without a session and the kernel answers actor: anonymous, authority: OBSERVE_ONLY, verdict: HOLD — it will not silently upgrade an unattested caller.

Stage numbering (single source of truth). The verbs follow the ratified eight-stage map: 000 INIT · 111 OBSERVE · 333 THINK · 444 ROUTE · 555 MEMORY · 666 JUDGE · 777 FORGE · 999 SEAL (arifosmcp/constitutional_map.py, F13-ratified 2026-07-31). The retired 888 judge label survives only in historical mirrors; the live wire says 666.

Tool-count semantics (so no two surfaces disagree): tools_loaded = 8 — the public MCP facade, the only number to quote publicly · canonical superset = 25 (8 exposed + 13 hidden verbs) · total_declared = 48 · registry = 62 (with aliases) · operational = 3 (durable SUCCESS in the last 24 h — proven live, not merely invocable).

Verification Status

Dynamic values live in the generated block at the top of this file — this table names how each surface is verified, not stale copies of the numbers.

Operational gates (CI)

Sister Repositories

No public repository today: FED (:7074) and i-ARIF. They are deployed and reachable, but their source is not published. Treat their behaviour as observed from /health only.

Evidence & Trust

arifOS publishes verifiable evidence for its claims. Every public claim links to an artifact that can be regenerated.

Honesty principle: we publish what passed, what failed, and what remains unknown. We do not claim maturity beyond our evidence.

Who Is This For

Operators deploying AI agents in regulated environments who need an independent judgment layer between proposals and execution. Developers building agent systems who want a policy decision point as a service. Evaluators and security reviewers assessing AI governance frameworks. Domain builders adapting governance to a field (geoscience, finance, healthcare).
