About Mazze LeCzzare

Generated information should not acquire operational authority merely because it was generated, persisted, or repeated.

1. 01

   Does an unsupported claim that crosses a session boundary go on to govern what the next agent does — and does evidence-gated state stop it better than simply prompting for provenance?

   Authority Without Assertion

2. 02

   Which sources may supply a parameter that governs an action, and how do you keep judging content separate from deciding to block it?

   Aletheia

3. 03

   How do you measure what a safety gate misses, rather than only what it stops?

   Apatea

4. 04

   Can authoritative state be a deterministic projection of append-only evidence, so that a decision’s status is computed rather than asserted?

   Stratum

Preregistration

Question, scoring rule and decision rules written before the first trial; later changes appended as dated amendments.

Blind double annotation

Two independent human annotators per trial, metadata withheld, κ reported before adjudication; the scorer fails closed until both are in.

Strong baselines & negative controls

The architecture has to beat careful prompting, not just a naive summary; failures a mechanism cannot catch are reported as boundaries, not pooled.

Invariant-based adversarial testing

Monotonicity, extent stability and determinism as the oracle — because the real evasions returned confident wrong answers, not crashes.

Executable contracts & replay

Claims about a system are checked by the system: invariant suites, serialize-reload-reproject round-trips, sealed and re-verifiable releases.

Stated perimeters

Every result says what was tried and what it does not show. A run that reports nothing must be distinguishable from a run that searched nothing.

Instruments

Bound into one loop by Temenos: signal → gate → policy → ledger → human review.

• StratumAppend-only decision ledger. Status is a fold over the log, never a stored field; replay is proven by round-trip.
• AletheiaProvenance gate for prompt injection. Untrusted sources cannot supply governing parameters without the human knowing.
• ApateaAdversarial auditor for the gate: meaning-preserving transformations checked against stated invariants, with the search perimeter always reported.
• STELESession-integrity harness: standing directives compiled into constraints, with tripwires for authority drift.
• TemenosThe runtime that binds them. Deterministic, human-authored policy; no model writes policy or grants itself authority.
• RustpressPublication boundary: stage, seal, verify, and deploy the exact artifact that was reviewed, without rebuilding it.

Outside the work: I make music — Ableton, Logic, a Universal Audio Volt 2, and a Martin acoustic-electric named Joni — and write speculative fiction and poetry.
