Architecture

The trust boundary between AI intent and trusted physical reality.

SeedCore separates intelligence, control, execution, and infrastructure so that custody-sensitive actions are either denied, quarantined, or explicitly authorized with proof obligations.

Architecture Principles

What the current runtime boundary must do.

The latest SeedCore plan is not to present a broad autonomy platform. It is to prove one trust story that partners can inspect end to end.

Judgment vs authorityKeep AI advisory by default and require policy-verified authorization before action.

No direct model-to-actuator bypass, even when context is rich.

Custody-aware controlEvaluate principals, assets, facilities, devices, and custody state at decision time.

Execution authority must be explicit, scoped, and replayable.

Governed failureTurn mismatch, drift, or verification failure into quarantine or lockout business state.

Failure should be visible, reviewable, and operationally safe.

Current 2026 Focus

The partner-visible architecture slice.

WorkflowRestricted Custody Transfer is the must-win workflow.

One happy path and one toxic path are more persuasive than a broad dashboard tour.

SurfaceThe verification API, replay view, and proof artifacts are the first product surface.

Partners should be able to inspect the same workflow truth across each surface.

Promotion ruleThe hot path stays in shadow until topology and degraded-edge gates are green enough.

SeedCore widens external surfaces only after the runtime contracts stop shifting.
