Official implementation and dataset for the SONAR Benchmark protocol.

Core Implementation Details Engine: Includes the sonar_benchmark_nesy.py script, which implements the Synod-Realist-Diplomat recursive triad. Homeostasis: Provides the "Rupture" logic for detecting artifactual divergence via the τ=0.10 threshold.

Symbolic Friction: Implements the Deterministic Boolean Constraint Logic validator for actor-action grounding and propositional persistence.

Included Dataset N=30 Traces: Full execution traces for both regulated (SONAR) and ablated (Control) groups. Journal Data: Categorical logs documenting the transition from "Looping" to "Grounded" states across the 6-cycle horizon.

Legal and Intellectual Property Patent Status: Australian Provisional Patent Application No. 2026900247 was filed on 10 January 2026. The applicant has elected not to proceed with a complete application, dedicating these specific methodologies to open academic research.
