Research Surface Map — Ricky Jones / AlvianTech

Evidence boundary

A claim may not travel farther than the artefact that proves it.

A public artefact does not need to reveal the system. It needs to prove one bounded behaviour:

• what was admitted,
• what was refused,
• what receipt was produced,
• and what replay shows the boundary held.

The claim stops where the artefact stops.

Per-repo boundaries are defined by each repo's CLAIM_BOUNDARY.md, NON-CLAIMS.md, PUBLIC_DISCLOSURE_BOUNDARY.md, and RECEIPT.md.

Public disclosure boundary

This repository hosts the Research Surface Map. It is a public inspection surface, not full architecture disclosure.

It shows bounded public inspection routes and claim limits. It must not be read as a system map, orchestration model, or protected architecture disclosure.

See NON-CLAIMS.md and PUBLIC_DISCLOSURE_BOUNDARY.md.

What this repo is

The canonical index for execution-boundary AI governance research by Ricky Dean Jones / AlvianTech.

It provides:

• repo index with inspection levels
• system map
• terminology
• provenance and creation timeline
• verification paths
• adversarial pre-review checklist for claim surfaces before public exposure

Public inspection standard

claim → evidence object → inspection path → claim limit

Each public proof surface should be read only at its stated scope.

Inspection surface index

Repo	Bounded claim	Proof path	Test command	Tag	Receipt
start-here	Within the scope of this artefact at the named release tag, provides a single runnable entry point that exercises the minimal admissibility-before-effect demonstration.	src/	python run_demo.py	v0.1.0	RECEIPT.md
commit-gate-core	Within the scope of this artefact at the named release tag, refuses state mutation in the absence of a valid DecisionRecord.	src/commit_gate_core/	pytest -q	v0.1.0	RECEIPT.md
receipt-chain-core	Within the scope of this artefact at the named release tag, treats prior decision receipts as inputs to the next admissibility decision.	src/receipt_chain_core/	pytest -q	v0.1.0	docs/PROOF_PACK_v0.1.md
refusal-receipt-chain	Within the scope of this artefact at the named release tag, emits a refusal receipt at the point admissibility fails.	./	python chain_verify.py	v0.1.1-docs	sample_deny_receipt.json
fail-closed-ai	Within the scope of this artefact at the named release tag, produces no downstream effect in the absence of a valid admissibility decision.	docs/neo-guard/neo_guard/	cd docs/neo-guard && pytest -q	v0.1.0	docs/neo-guard/CHAIN_RECEIPT_v0.1.md
