DEFINITION AND SCIENCE

What it means
in GenOS.

IN ONE SENTENCE

A bounded kernel for relation constraints, provenance independence, authority and admitted routing across 29 relation types.

BIOLOGICAL / SCIENTIFIC BASIS

Social and causal dependence affect how independent evidence can be counted. The software kernel records typed relations to constrain routing and quorum claims; a relation never grants authority.

GENOS TRANSLATION

Load scoped relations → Check authority and independence → Record and dispatch

MATHEMATICAL / LOGICAL MODEL

For sources S, group known dependent origins into equivalence classes C(S). Effective vote count is |C(S)|, not |S|; unknown dependence must not be asserted independent.

PROCESS AND USE

How it works
at a glance.

01

Load scoped relations

Read organization and project edges with provenance. Incomplete or failed reads refuse the affected independence-sensitive route.

02

Check authority and independence

Apply existing leases, ACLs and budgets first. Group known dependent origins for quorum; refuse a claim of established statistical independence.

03

Record and dispatch

Preserve the more restrictive relation, write the decision receipt and send only the reduced allowed content.

RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION

What is connected,
and how far.

Family, managerial, social and verifier labels constrain routing but confer no new rights. Separate model families do not prove independent errors. The current routing patch does not provide a complete transactional revocation firewall.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL

The 29-relation kernel is integrated into a targeted persistent audience-routing path; general mission admission and enforcement remain open.

FAILURE MODES

Counting siblings or shared-model runs as independent votes. · Treating a manager or guardian label as authorization. · Losing causal history when an edge is revoked.

AGREEMENT DESPITE FAULTY PARTICIPANTS · 1982

The Byzantine Generals Problem

Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak, and Marshall Pease · ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems 4(3), 382–401

Formalizes agreement under specified faulty-participant assumptions. A voting topology does not inherit Byzantine fault tolerance unless its protocol meets those assumptions.

EVIDENCE AND LIMITS

A relation cannot grant permission

Family, managerial, social and verifier labels constrain routing but confer no new rights. Separate model families do not prove independent errors. The current routing patch does not provide a complete transactional revocation firewall.
