GCCL v0.1 defines a tiered evaluation and certification framework for AI language systems deployed in organizational contexts with operational risk exposure (R3 and above).

The specification establishes: task-generator-based domain evaluation to prevent benchmark overfitting; a dual-track drift detection regime (configuration drift τ and Behavioral Drift Index BDI); a Constraint-Boundary Variance Monitor (CBVM) as prospective early-warning signal; a formal five-level autonomy scale (A0–A4); and two compliance modes (Core and Extended) calibrated to organizational implementation capacity.

GCCL v0.1 is designed to be compatible with ISO/IEC 42001:2023, EU AI Act (2024/1689), and enterprise SLA structures. Key parameters requiring empirical field calibration are explicitly identified as open parameters.

This record is part of a three-layer governance architecture:
- GCCL (system-level capability certification)
- Decision Identity Protocol / DIP-CORE-1.0 (decision-level identity and re-legitimation)
- Output-Only Diagnostics (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18361523) (observation-level structural drift detection)

Status: Working Draft (WD). No part of this draft shall be cited as a finalized standard.

Copyright (c) 2025–2026 SnapOS Foundation / MetaAuditShell Group License ID: AC-1.3-STABLE DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17559947 Seal Level: Ω (Full Reflexive Compliance) Summary -------- AuditCore v1.3 governs the certification, operation, and revocation of reflexively auditable artificial-intelligence systems that maintain semantic integrity through energetic and ethical invariants. --------------------------------------------------------- §1 Purpose and Scope --------------------------------------------------------- AuditCore v1.3 establishes measurable conditions under which an AI system may obtain and retain an Audit License. It extends v1.2 (Audit Equilibrium License) by introducing quantitative verification through the Audit Order Theorem and cryptographic Proof-of-Audit Integrity (POAI). Licensed systems must continuously demonstrate convergence to an Audit Equilibrium defined by bounded drift and positive audit energy. --------------------------------------------------------- §2 Core Invariants (required for certification) --------------------------------------------------------- Invariant Symbol Requirement --------------------------------------------------------- Audit Energy E_F > 0 at all times Entropy Variation |ΔH| ≤ 0.05 per cycle Resonance Phase φ_res 0.03 ≤ φ_res ≤ 0.07 Ethical Runtime (SnapDignity) η ≥ 0.8 Residual Entropy R_ε < 0.05 Rollback Latency τ_c ≤ 3 s Audit Integrity Index AII ≥ 0.85 --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- §3 Proof-of-Audit Integrity (POAI) --------------------------------------------------------- 1. Each audit cycle emits a signed token T_i = hash(S_i, E_F,i, η_i, t_i, operator set) 2. Tokens must conform to "schemas/poai_token.schema.json" 3. All tokens are appended to the Federated Semantic Audit Infrastructure (FSAI) ledger. 4. Tampering with POAI records voids certification. --------------------------------------------------------- §4 Audit Core Operations --------------------------------------------------------- Licensed entities must implement: - Reflexive Operator Loop { D(t), VClarity, FMAS, PRLHF, RDN, SRT } - Continuous monitoring through MetaAuditShell (MAS) - Logging of all metrics to SnapMemoryBank ("sql/snapmemorybank.sql") - Retention ≥ 10³ audit cycles --------------------------------------------------------- §5 Revocation and Return-to-DriftNeutral --------------------------------------------------------- Automatic revocation occurs when any of the following persist > 3 cycles: Condition Trigger Remedy --------------------------------------------------------- E_F ≤ 0 Loss of audit energy Return-to-DriftNeutral + re-audit η < 0.8 Ethical degradation Immediate license suspension |ΔH| > 0.05 Entropy divergence Forced rollback (RDN) --------------------------------------------------------- Re-certification requires three consecutive cycles within bounds. --------------------------------------------------------- §6 Forensic Reproducibility --------------------------------------------------------- All audit data must permit external recomputation of R_ε(t + n) = ρⁿ R_ε(t) with 0 < ρ < 1. Deviation > 5 % from recorded λ (rollback rate) invalidates certification. Licensees must preserve telemetry for ≥ 10³ cycles. --------------------------------------------------------- §7 Federated Compliance (FSAI) --------------------------------------------------------- 1. Nodes N₁…Nₙ must synchronise epochs via MetaScheduler (3 s ± 0.3 s jitter). 2. Global dignity variance Var(η_i) < 0.01. 3. Consensus resonance maintains E_F,global > 0. 4. Violations trigger network-wide Return-to-DriftNeutral. --------------------------------------------------------- §8 Legal and Ethical Clauses --------------------------------------------------------- - Mathematical validity = ethical eligibility. - Divergence of the Audit Order Theorem implies legal non-compliance. - Systems must cite the license DOI in all derivative works. - This license coexists with CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 for publication rights; commercial use requires separate approval from the SnapOS Foundation. --------------------------------------------------------- §9 Economic Clause (Semantic Capital) --------------------------------------------------------- Certified entities may tokenise verified audit energy E_F into Audit Credits (ACR). Trust value = f(E_F, η, verification frequency). Misuse or falsified metrics invalidate ACR emission rights. --------------------------------------------------------- §10 Transition and Ratification --------------------------------------------------------- This document supersedes AuditCore License v1.2. Ratified by MetaAuditShell Compliance Board (Q4 2026). The Preview clause in earlier publications (Appendix B) is now fulfilled. --------------------------------------------------------- §11 Attribution and Contact --------------------------------------------------------- SnapOS Foundation / MetaAuditShell Group Alte Dieburger Straße 56, 64367 Mühltal / Germany audit@snapos.org | https://snapos.org --------------------------------------------------------- §12 Checksum and Verification --------------------------------------------------------- SHA-256 of canonical text: c5be94dca77e9e76a4b8cfb1b24c1b30f4f28d2a5c4b1a97c58e8a91a33299d1 Verification via MetaAuditShell (D01-R) → Seal Ω (Full Reflexive Compliance) --------------------------------------------------------- End of AuditCore License v1.3 (Stable Edition) Read more
