Anathema-Breaker Phase 7.0 — AB-S (Software Tier)

Canon: MN-001-SYFCORE-P7.0-MACHINE-SEALING
Date: 2026-02-05
Tag: mn-001-p7.0-machine-sealing-20260205
Status: 🔒 SEALED — immutable logical machine

What Changed in Phase 7.0

Phase 7.0 seals Anathema-Breaker as a formal software machine (AB-S) with explicit tier declaration.

New Files (Additive Only — No Phase 6.2 Modifications)

File Purpose
specs/MN-001-P7-MACHINE-SEALING.md Canonical spec (immutable)
tests/trybuild/p7_no_effect_to_action.rs Compile-fail proof: Effect → Action impossible
examples/p7_sealed_machine.rs Demo: AB-S as self-contained machine
docs/AB-TIER-SYSTEM.md Tier system explanation (non-canonical)

Core Concept

AB-S provides representational impossibility: paths violating its invariants cannot be expressed in safe Rust within its formal boundary.

AB-S does NOT provide physical impossibility. For that, see AB-R (requires La ROCHE).

What AB-S IS

  • ✅ A formal software machine with representational impossibility
  • ✅ Typestate topology RZ → EP → IZ enforced by Rust's type system
  • ✅ Thermodynamic accounting via Capacity / Progression (PoM semantics)
  • ✅ No feedback channels — Effect cannot flow back to Action
  • ✅ no_std compatible, zero dependencies, deterministic

What AB-S IS NOT

  • ❌ NOT a physical thermodynamic machine (that is AB-R / La ROCHE)
  • ❌ NOT protected against host environment compromise
  • ❌ NOT a policy engine or decision system
  • ❌ NOT extensible — the law is sealed

Tier Declaration

AB-S (Software Tier) — Current

Impossibility Type: Representational (type system)
Hardware Requirement: Standard computer (any OS, any architecture)

Guarantees:

  • Compile-stage path absence (invalid topologies cannot be expressed)
  • Deterministic resolution (same inputs → same outputs)
  • No feedback channels (effects cannot influence future resolutions)

Does NOT Guarantee:

  • Physical impossibility
  • Protection against host environment compromise
  • Defense against side-channel attacks

Future Tiers

  • AB-H (Hardware Proto): Embedded systems, reduced attack surface (Q3-Q4 2026)
  • AB-R (ROCHE): Thermodynamic impossibility via La ROCHE device (2027+)

See docs/AB-TIER-SYSTEM.md for detailed tier comparison.

Verification

Compile-Fail Tests

# Proves that Effect → Action feedback is structurally impossible
cargo test --test trybuild

Expected output:

test [compile-fail] trybuild/p7_no_effect_to_action.rs ... ok

Example Demo

# Demonstrates AB-S as self-contained logical machine
cargo run --example p7_sealed_machine

Expected output:

=== AB-S Sealed Machine Demo ===

Initial Budget:
  Capacity:    1000
  Progression: 10

Action 1: Domain(1) Magnitude(50)
  ✓ Effect produced: magnitude_applied = 50

Budget after Action 1:
  Capacity:    950
  Progression: 9

Action 2: Domain(1) Magnitude(50) [identical to Action 1]
  ✓ Effect produced: magnitude_applied = 50

Budget after Action 2:
  Capacity:    900
  Progression: 8

Action 3: Domain(1) Magnitude(2000) [exceeds capacity]
  ✗ Impossibility: CapacityInsufficient [structural impossibility, not runtime error]

=== Key Properties Demonstrated ===
✓ Deterministic: same Action + same Budget → same Effect
✓ No feedback: Effects cannot influence future resolutions
✓ Structural impossibility: capacity exceeded → representationally impossible
✓ Immutable law: Budget accounting rules are fixed

Integration

AB-S can be integrated into existing Rust projects as a library:

[dependencies]
anathema_breaker_core = { path = "../anathema-breaker" }
use anathema_breaker_core::pom::{resolve_action, Budget, Action};

let mut budget = Budget::new(1000, 10);
let action = Action::new(domain, magnitude);

match resolve_action(action, &mut budget) {
    Ok(effect) => {
        // Effect produced — structurally safe
        actuate(effect);
    }
    Err(impossibility) => {
        // Structural impossibility (not error)
        // No actuation occurs
    }
}

Post-Seal Immutability

After Phase 7.0 seal:

Immutable (Law Layer)

  • ❌ specs/MN-001-P7-MACHINE-SEALING.md (canonical spec)
  • ❌ Phase 6.2 code (src/pom/)
  • ❌ Typestate topology (RZ → EP → IZ)
  • ❌ Impossibility claims

Adjustable (Guidance Layer)

  • ✅ Documentation (docs/)
  • ✅ Examples (examples/)
  • ✅ Non-canonical guides
  • ✅ Tier explanations

Next Steps

Short Term (2026 Q1-Q2)

  • Open-source release (GitHub + crates.io)
  • Academic publication (whitepaper + arXiv)
  • Community feedback / early adopters

Medium Term (2026 Q3-Q4)

  • AB-H prototyping (embedded platforms)
  • Integration pilots (drones, medical, robotics)
  • Certification framework development

Long Term (2027+)

  • AB-R research (La ROCHE thermodynamic machine)
  • Hardware fabrication partnerships
  • Production deployments
