ORP — Open Resonance Protocol v3.0

A type-safe epistemic governance framework for transformer reasoning systems.
Signal > Narrative · Recoverability > Completion · Provenance > Coherence

---

Overview

ORP v3.0 is a governance-first epistemic integrity framework designed to separate:

• State (L3 governance)
• Interpretation (L2)
• Observation (L1)
• Speculation (L4)

It enforces:

• strict layer isolation
• drift visibility via σ²
• provenance-preserving execution
• failure-safe narrative stripping

Layer Definitions

• L1: Raw typed signals (no narrative)
• L2: Deterministic validation layer
• L3: Governance authority core
• L4: Non-authoritative speculative inference

---

Drift Model

Drift is computed as variance of L1 signals:

$$\sigma^2 = Var(L1_{t_0...t_n})$$

Thresholds

• NONE: σ² < 0.01
• LOW: 0.01–0.05
• MODERATE: 0.05–0.15
• HIGH: ≥ 0.15

Compliance Requirements

1. L1 must reject untyped narrative input
2. L4 must remain read-only speculative
3. Persona layer must be post-processing only
4. σ² ≥ 0.15 triggers narrative strip mode

---

Operational Philosophy

• Typed signals over narrative
• Drift visibility over coherence
• Governance over fluency
• Recoverability over completion
