Public evidence basis

The status label describes maturity. This basis describes the public-safe support for that label; it is not a claim of public runtime proof.

  • A sanitized source-checkpoint verification is recorded in the public status audit.
  • No public source, runtime endpoint, or operating receipt is published.

Responsibilities

  • syn-ai-thalamus routes bounded work and source gates.

What it receives

  • Bounded, documented inputs

What it produces

  • Inspectable, bounded outputs

Authority it does not have

  • Does not grant its own authority or certify its own claims.

How it can fail

  • Stale, incomplete, or misclassified state

Health signals

  • Evidence date, stated limits, and explicit operator review

Builder takeaway

Start with bounded inputs, explicit authority, inspectable outputs, and a recovery path; do not treat the analogy as proof of capability.

Limitations

  • The private implementation and operating records are not published.
  • Runtime installation is paused and the public route is not a runtime claim.
