# 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
