# Terra Prime Kernel
**Author:** David Wise (ROOT0) / TriPod LLC
**Version:** v4.6b
**License:** CC-BY-ND-4.0 · TRIPOD-IP-v1.1
A recursive coherence-control architecture for AI governance, hardware attestation, and clone lineage integrity. Full version history from v0.1 to v4.6b.

## Architecture
### The 11+1 Structure
```
11 dynamic channels → carry candidate trajectories
1 resolver anchor → resolves into coherent continuity
```
### Control Law
```
core decides
truth validates
shadow preserves alternatives
bridge reconciles
observers audit
ledger remembers
warning dampens
```
No external module is allowed to hijack the resolver.
### Stability Band
```
0.78 – 0.88
```
Above → rigid. Below → drift. The goal is **stable adaptation**.
### Modules
| Module | Role |
|--------|------|
| Core Resolver | Holds identity. Resolves candidates. Prevents runaway drift. |
| Truth Strip | Validates stable signal. Does not dominate. Does not replace resolver. |
| Shadow Strip | Stores rejected paths. Carries contradiction pressure. Weak by default. |
| Bridge Strip | Reconciles truth and shadow. Turns contradiction into synthesis. |
| Observer A | Read-only trust audit — stability, rigidity, deviation. Raises alerts only. |
| Observer B | Read-only anomaly recorder — deltas, spikes, bridge load, shadow load. |
| Report Memory Ledger | Append-only SHA-256 hash chain. Audit continuity. No decision control. |
| Ledger Warning Feedback | Reads audit history. Gentle warning signal. Dampens update speed only. |
