UPIP: Universal Process Integrity Protocol — A Self-Validating Specification

  • 1. Humotica AI Lab

Description

We present UPIP (Universal Process Integrity Protocol), a five-layer protocol for capturing, bundling, and verifying the complete integrity of computational processes across machines.

Unlike traditional reproducibility approaches that describe a method and hope the reader can follow it, this paper validates itself: it is generated by a deterministic script exported as a UPIP bundle. Reproducing the bundle regenerates this paper, proving the protocol works.

Cross-machine isomorphism verified between:

  • JTel-brain (HP DL360, Python 3.13.5, Debian 13, 40 CPUs) — REPRODUCIBLE
  • OomLlama-HUBby (Lenovo P520, Python 3.11.2, Debian 12, 12 CPUs) — REPRODUCIBLE
  • Pixel (Android smartphone, ARM64, Android 16) — REPRODUCIBLE

Reproduce it yourself (requires tibet-triage>=0.3.2):

pip install tibet-triage>=0.3.2
git clone https://github.com/Humotica/upip-protocol.git
cd upip-protocol
tibet-triage upip-reproduce paper.upip.json
