Telic Fields J.1 — Independent Verification, Selective Disclosure, and Pilot Hardening

Parent lineage: The Telic Field Papers

Package identity

• Profile: TF-C4
• Bounded extension: TF-C5 retirement
• Scenario: TF-MVI-1 bounded model-assisted scheduling
• Gate: PASS WITH CONDITIONS
• Production claim: none

J.1 hardens the J.0 reference pilot without widening its domain claim. Its central path is:

source → projection → standing → versioned policy and authority
→ current context → non-sovereign model route → signed external gate
→ transactional tool attempt → consequence → correction
→ selective witness export → independent verification → retirement

Design and governance

• Architecture
• Conformance claim
• Policy, key, and context hardening
• Selective disclosure and privacy
• Correction reachability report
• Partial failure and recovery
• Accessibility review
• Security and threat model
• J.1 gate review
• J.1 validation report
• Runbook
• Upstream metadata reconciliation note
• Package manifest

Hardening delivered

The package preserves nineteen Python implementation modules, twelve frozen schemas, versioned immutable authorization policy, HMAC key rotation and revocation, canonical stale-context rejection, serialized concurrent appends, optimistic object revisions, correction-descendant reachability, partial-failure compensation, runtime privacy enforcement, and an accessible no-JavaScript interface.

It also includes four selective witness views — public, participant, operator, and verifier — with commitments for omitted records, an Ed25519-signed witness manifest, and a standalone verifier that imports no telic_j1 implementation code.

Demonstration and witness

• Reference scenario input
• Hardened demo transcript
• Demo result
• End-to-end validation
• Implementation verification
• Independent verification result
• Threat results
• Witness export
• Standalone verifier

Validation result

13 tests
0 failures
0 errors
12 schemas checked
16 threat cases detected
34 witness-export checksums verified
46 records validated
20 events verified
4 selective views verified
Ed25519 manifest signature verified

The reference scenario reaches retirement with policy version 2 active, gate keys gate-k1 and gate-k2 revoked, gate-k3 active, tool authority revoked, four correction descendants updated, and no unreachable descendants. The independent verifier succeeds without importing the implementation package or requiring a provider connection.

Conditions and non-claims

J.1 is an executable candidate, not production software, a certification, or a complete TF-C5 implementation. Remaining conditions include externally controlled signing-key custody, authenticated participants and operators, domain-specific privacy review, external accessibility testing, distributed-failure testing, independent security review, and a real multi-party correction exercise.

The package contains synthetic demonstration records only. It does not claim legal or regulatory compliance, production security, real-world privacy protection, external accessibility conformance, high-stakes safety, or suitability for clinical, legal, financial, employment, benefits, credit, insurance, election, or public-adjudication use.

Intake archive

• Complete J.1 intake package

Package SHA-256: e8bd00ed91c99cb02fba44e37348c84ec36ad74e9f592d8b62458a0f9d254126

The exact package passed its internal SHA-256 manifest. Its embedded witness export passed standalone verification with 34 checksums, 46 records, 20 events, four selective views, and a valid Ed25519 signature. The archive and extracted source contents remain preserved as historical intake evidence.

Roadmap transition

J.1 is complete at v0.1 artifact level. J.2 — External-Review Readiness, Multi-Party Trial, and Release Candidate — is now installed as a bounded candidate release. The next pass is J.3 — Observed External Exercise, Governance Handoff, and Pilot Admission.
