Cryptographic Authorship and Commitment Record - Ki-Signal v0.9 (Ace Karim)

Title

Cryptographic Authorship and Commitment Record - Ki-Signal v0.9 (Ace Karim)

---

Description

This record constitutes the public provenance and verification layer for Ki-Signal v0.9, a Synthetic Structural Recursive Epistemic System (SSRES).

This release does not include the system itself.
It provides a cryptographic commitment without disclosure, establishing verifiable evidence of:

* Authorship
* Integrity
* Existence at a verifiable point in time
* Version continuity

---

Release Model

Ki-Signal v0.9 is released under a commitment-without-disclosure model:

* The full system snapshot (.tar.gz) is retained privately
* Public artifacts commit to its exact contents via:

  * SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes
  * GPG cryptographic signatures
  * OpenTimestamps (Bitcoin-anchored proofs)

Any future disclosure of the snapshot can be independently verified against these commitments.
