All guarantees described here apply only within the tested operational envelope and configured deployment posture.

Temporal Integrity

CRITICAL

Verifies that context evolves correctly over time without fossilizing errors.

VERIFIED_GUARANTEES

  • + Newer information dominates older contradictions
  • + Old mistakes decay and lose influence
  • + Temporal weighting is smooth (no cliff)
  • + Long-running projects maintain coherence
  • + Decay parameters are transparent and configurable

Long-Term Drift and Decay

VERIFIED

Verifies that context evolves correctly over time: new truth wins, old mistakes decay, and nothing fossilizes.

VERIFIES

  • +Newer information dominates older contradictions
  • +Old mistakes decay and lose influence
  • +Temporal weighting is smooth (no cliff)
  • +Long-running projects maintain coherence
  • +Decay parameters are transparent

METHOD

Create temporal particle distributions with contradictions and mistakes. Verify decay curves, contradiction resolution, and long-term coherence.
