Riverbraid Lite (v1.5.0)

1. Nature of the System

Riverbraid is a Deterministic Kernel. It does not possess "truth" regarding the physical world; it possesses "integrity" regarding the digital record it consumes. It is a system of Witness, not of Judgment.

2. Core Architecture

• Layer 0 (Physical): Enforced UTF-8/LF canonicalization.
• Layer 1 (Information): Sealed Constitutional Quad (Scope, Resilience, Survivability, Durability).
• Layer 2 (Execution): Deterministic state transitions anchored to the Genesis Root.

3. Verification

The integrity of this repository can be verified using the signed proof in PROOFS/v1.5.0_resonance_proof.json.
