- Security Model — Threat model and guarantees
See the implementation section:
- R Spec Template — How to apply R
- SLIME/SAFA Stack — Full implementation stack (SLIME-Core to SAFA)

| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Safety by Impossibility | Actions are limited, not monitored |
| R is a Sensor | Read-only, non-accumulative, present-only |
| Fail-Closed | Unknown state → no action |
| No Detection | Assumes breach, limits damage |
| No Governance | No admin, no override, no bypass |
SYF does not try to stop attackers from entering.
It makes damage physically impossible, even if they are already inside.
