SPECIFICATIONS

The blueprints of a dependable runtime.

Consistent. Interoperable. Deterministic. The formal contracts every Æon agent honours, axioms, envelopes, audit guarantees and resilience-as-code conventions.

Operational axioms

Deterministic decision functions over measurable thresholds. Each axiom has explicit, testable criteria.

SAFETY ENVELOPE

A monitored band

A relative deviation D(t) of an observed metric from its steady-state baseline must stay inside the admissible band δ defined in planning.

|D(t)| ≤ δ admissible deviation band
CHAOS BUDGET

A bounded integral

Persistence matters: the time-integral of deviation must not exceed the budget B. This is what catches slow gray failures, not just spikes.

I(T) = ∫|D(t)|dt > B → BLOCK
AUDIT & PROVENANCE

Minimum audit infrastructure

The digital black box records asynchronously, off the critical path, but it must still meet hard guarantees.
