Persistent runtime
Memory, state continuity, provenance, architecture awareness, and normal operating services persist beyond a single model session.
PUBLIC ARCHITECTURE
A developmental system with separated authority.
Veritas uses interchangeable foundation models as intelligence resources while retaining its own persistent memory, evidence, governance, simulation, recovery, and software-development lifecycle.
Model-neutral intelligence
Qualified local models contribute reasoning and task work without becoming Veritas identity or deployment authority.
Bounded investigation
Source-backed diagnosis, evidence collection, target selection, and intervention planning occur through controlled development paths.
Candidate sandbox
Candidate artifacts execute under isolated, budgeted conditions against frozen evidence before any production decision is possible.
Independent review
Measured outcomes pass technical checks and mandatory Truth-Morality-Clarity review. Model agreement alone is not sufficient.
Adoption & recovery
Versioned selection, post-adoption checks, rollback, and continuity preserve a known-good path through qualified changes.
CORE AUTHORITY RULE
Candidate output is evidence, not permission.
A candidate environment can propose and demonstrate behavior, but it cannot grant itself production authority.
