CRI-CORE

CRI-CORE is a deterministic structural enforcement kernel for governed state transitions. It evaluates structural, authority, integrity, binding, sealing, and publication constraints before a proposed state mutation is allowed to commit.

Why CRI-CORE Exists

AI-assisted systems increasingly produce recommendations that influence real operational decisions. The highest-risk moment occurs at the execution boundary — when a recommendation becomes an actual change to system state.

CRI-CORE ensures that these transitions occur only when declared responsibility, authority, and integrity constraints pass deterministic validation.

Core Capabilities

  • Deterministic validation of transition attempts.
  • Structural contract and version enforcement.
  • Authority and responsibility constraint validation.
  • Cryptographic artifact integrity verification.
  • Publication-stage commit gating.
  • Machine-readable enforcement outputs for audit and replay.

Public Distribution

CRI-CORE is distributed as an installable Python package.

pip install cricore

Design Principles

  • Deterministic and domain-agnostic.
  • Non-semantic: the kernel does not evaluate the meaning or correctness of a decision.
  • Invocation-bound: each execution evaluates a proposed transition attempt.
  • Single authoritative output: commit_allowed.
