# CORE Authority Substrate Outreach Plan Last Updated: 2026-06-11 --- # Mission Prepare CORE for serious engagement with: 1. Anthropic 2. xAI 3. Tesla 4. SpaceX-adjacent AI organizations 5. Frontier-model safety researchers 6. Infrastructure and agent-platform teams The goal is not marketing. The goal is to demonstrate that: - stochastic intelligence does not require stochastic authority - frontier models can remain semantic engines - deterministic authority boundaries can govern verification, refusal, ASK, tool use, and future embodied actions - replayable traces provide auditable evidence of the decision path --- # Core Thesis CORE is not competing with frontier models. CORE is a deterministic authority substrate. The model proposes. The substrate decides. The trace proves. --- # Current Demonstrated State ## PR #684 Semantic-state ledger reland. Proves: - semantic-state representation separated from authority surfaces - behavior-preserving refactor - verifier/pool remain sole commit authority --- ## PR #685 Candidate-source boundary. Proves: - ledger-to-candidate generation isolated behind a formal boundary - future semantic-state work can proceed without authority leakage --- ## PR #686 Replay/provenance equivalence harness. Proves: - 937-problem canonical trace artifact - replay-faithfulness checks - authority-violation detection - durable equivalence evidence --- ## PR #687 Claude-to-CORE Hybrid Verification Demo. Proves: - model proposal can be separated from authority - verified / refused / ask / invalid outcomes - deterministic artifact validation - tamper-sensitive behavior - no proposer execution authority --- # Outreach Tracks ## Track A — Anthropic Focus: - safety - trust - MCP - agent reliability - authority boundaries - auditable traces Deliverables: - executive summary - updated deck - hybrid verification demo packet - research paper - objections and responses --- ## Track B — xAI Focus: - truth-seeking AI - epistemic states - deterministic verification - local authority boundaries Deliverables: - xAI one-pager - truth-seeking framing memo - epistemic-state demo roadmap --- ## Track C — Tesla / Embodied Systems Focus: - embodied authority - local execution authority - deterministic action gating - replayable transitions Deliverables: - embodied-authority research memo - simulation-only authority demo - transition-admission model --- # Demo Roadmap Completed: - Hybrid Verification Demo (#687) Planned: 1. Tool Authority Demo 2. Embodied Authority Simulation Demo 3. SaaS-Control / On-Prem-Authority Demo 4. Domain Admission Demo --- # Research Roadmap 1. Authority substrates 2. Tool authority 3. Epistemic-state systems 4. Embodied authority 5. Distributed authority boundaries 6. Human-in-the-loop authority transitions --- # Documentation Roadmap 1. Executive summary 2. Research paper v0.2 3. Demo evidence packet 4. Security architecture update 5. Anthropic packet 6. xAI packet 7.
