## What CORE Is
|
||||
|
||||
CORE is a deterministic AI architecture for inspectable, replayable, evidence-governed cognition. It is not a wrapper around a large language model. It is an independent cognitive substrate built on:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Zero-allocation execution paths** in Rust and Zig
|
||||
- **Algebraic coherence** as a hard structural invariant — not a monitored metric
|
||||
- **Versor-based geometric algebra** replacing tensor pipelines for spatial reasoning
|
||||
- **Vault-based recall** that is exact and auditable, not probabilistic
|
||||
- **Claim-lifecycle governance** with a formal teach → verify → promote sequence
|
||||
|
||||
Coherence is algebraic by construction — not monitored, not corrected.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters
|
||||
|
||||
The dominant paradigm — stochastic sampling over opaque weights — produces systems that cannot audit their own reasoning, cannot guarantee replay, and cannot formally bound their failure modes. CORE is the alternative: a system where every cognitive step is a structured propagation through a field with a well-defined inverse.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not an incremental improvement. It is a different computational geometry.

## Capitalization Tiers
|
||||
|
||||
Sponsors gain direct access to the research program, milestone ledgers, technical briefings, and attribution rights according to the tier below.
|
||||
|
||||
| Tier | Monthly | Access & Rights |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Supporter** | $5 | Early access to public experiment results; welcome message in the CORE verification system |
|
||||
| **Research Backer** | $25 | Monthly experiment ledger and milestone updates |
|
||||
| **Project Sponsor** | $100 | Technical release log with named attribution; priority issue queue |
|
||||
| **Institutional Sponsor** | $500 | Quarterly technical briefings; co-authorship consideration on applied research outputs |
|
||||
| **Founding Sponsor** | $1,500 | Enterprise roadmapping access; bimonthly briefings; named in provisional patent continuation filings |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Operational Paths
|
||||
|
||||
Two parallel capitalization paths are active:
|
||||
|
||||
### Path A — Organic Sponsorship (Live Now)
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub Sponsors on `AssetOverflow/core` accepts recurring monthly commitments at any tier. All funds route directly to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Compute and API access for CORE evaluation runs (GSM8K, NIAH, CORE-native benchmarks)
|
||||
2. Rust/Zig toolchain development and zero-allocation kernel hardening
|
||||
3. Patent continuation filings and IP maintenance
|
||||
4. Open-source infrastructure and documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Path B — Institutional Grant & Contract Path (Active Outreach)
|
||||
|
||||
Parallel outreach is underway to:
|
||||
|
||||
- **NSF SBIR Phase I** — deterministic AI safety architecture
|
||||
- **DARPA** — inspectable cognition for embodied systems
|
||||
- **AI safety foundations** — alignment-by-construction research
|
||||
|
||||
Institutional sponsors at the $500+ tier receive briefing materials formatted for co-submission on these instruments.

## Capital Efficiency Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
| Milestone | Estimated Cost | Unlocked By |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Full Rust zero-allocation kernel (v1) | $18,000 | Path A accumulation or single Founding Sponsor |
|
||||
| CORE-native benchmark suite publication | $4,500 | Research Backer cohort (6 months) |
|
||||
| Provisional → non-provisional patent conversion | $8,000 | Institutional Sponsor (14 months) |
|
||||
| Embodied robotics pilot (sensor integration) | $32,000 | NSF SBIR Phase I or enterprise contract |
