FIRST DIVERGENCE01 / 64

47 mismatches.One first failure.

Lock the run. Break one condition. Find the last good state—and the exact proposition the record still supports.

Guided runtime cross · about 60 seconds

Synthetic 64-checkpoint execution. Browser-local computation. No live model call. No production action.

GUIDED RUNTIME FORENSICS

A mismatch count is not a diagnosis.

The contract is fixed. Every digest shown is computed locally after the instrument gate completes. Unknown never becomes inferred.

FIRST-DIVERGENCE INSPECTION

Checkpoint 18NOT YET COMPARED

RECORD NOT YET COMPUTED

Lock the contract and generate the baseline. Exact bytes and digests remain hidden until the instrument gate completes.

FREE EXPLORATION

Break one condition at a time.

Each preset is deterministic and mutually exclusive. Selecting a new fault clears the prior record before another comparison.

CASE LIBRARY

Five records. Five different limits.

The wall can fail, match, or disappear entirely. The supported proposition depends on which gate actually completed.

EXACT ARTIFACT IDENTITY

The clean replay

The recorded artifact chains are byte-identical under the declared synthetic contract.

DISPOSITIONPROVED
01
PRIMARY + PROPAGATED

The invisible byte

One added LF creates one primary divergence and 46 downstream chain mismatches.

INSTRUMENT GATE

The untrusted instrument

A failed instrument gate establishes nothing about whether the artifacts match.

DISPOSITIONUNRESOLVED
03
OBJECT SCOPE

The perfect wrong match

Every receipt matches, but only because generated content was outside the verified object.

DISPOSITIONNARROWED
04
COMMIT BOUNDARY

The match that cannot commit

Artifact identity survives. Operative authority does not.

DISPOSITIONBLOCKED

FINAL DIVERGENCE RECORD

The last proposition the record can support.

This card binds the observed result to its evidence scope without borrowing credibility for anything upstream or excluded.

RECORD OPEN

Complete a trusted comparison—or encounter a fail-closed instrument gate—to generate the bounded final record.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Find the cause before naming the failure.

01

Counts are symptoms.

A wall of red does not identify the first unsupported transition.

02

Chains propagate.

One local change can alter every downstream chain receipt.

03

Tools are gates.

An untrusted instrument establishes nothing about object identity.

04

Objects define scope.

A perfect digest can bind the wrong evidence perfectly.

05

Authority remains separate.

A matching replay still cannot authorize an operative action.

Grounded DI locates the first unsupported transition, separates primary divergence from downstream effects, and limits every conclusion to the evidence actually established.

THE GROUNDED DI CONTROL PATH

Claim. Record. Commit.

REPLAY / UNDERSTOODCOMMIT BOUNDARY / NEXT

THE NEXT BOUNDARY

The replay is understood.Now govern the commit.

First Divergence identifies what changed and what survives. ActionGate determines whether that bounded result may cross an operative boundary.
