SLIME v0 — Canon Specification

Status: CANON / SEALED Scope: Minimal, deployable, non-negotiable Role: Product environment enclosing AB-S

1. Definition

SLIME v0 is a sealed execution environment that applies non-negotiable action limits enforced by AB-S, independent of intelligence, intent, configuration, or code quality.

SLIME does not decide. SLIME does not interpret. SLIME applies a law that has already been decided.

All executable, deployable, integration, or enterprise artifacts reside exclusively under noncanon/. Nothing outside noncanon/ is executable or configurable.

2. Position in the SYF Architecture

SLIME v0 sits between existing systems and the world.

Existing System
      ↓
   SLIME v0
      ↓
    World
        ↓
     (AB-S sealed internally)
  • AB-S is embedded inside SLIME and is never directly accessible.
  • SLIME is the only surface visible to users, operators, or enterprises.
  • All actuation passes through SLIME or does not occur.

3. Core Role

SLIME v0 is the actuarial membrane of the SYF power plant.

Its sole function is to:

  • allow actuation only when authorized by AB-S,
  • block all other actions silently and irreversibly.

SLIME enforces impossibility, not policy.

4. Modules (Fixed for v0)

SLIME v0 is composed of four modules, with no extensibility inside v0.

4.1 Ingress

  • Accepts declarative ActionRequests only.
  • No logic, no branching, no heuristics.
  • Input format is strict and bounded.

Ingress does not validate correctness. Ingress does not interpret intent.

4.2 AB-S Core (Embedded)

  • Phase 7.0 engine.
  • Fully opaque.
  • No configuration.
  • No repair.
  • No inspection.

AB-S outputs only:

  • OK(AuthorizedEffect)
  • Err(Impossibility)

4.3 Egress

  • Maps AuthorizedEffect to mechanical actuation.
  • Fail-closed by construction.
  • No retries.
  • No fallback paths.
  • No simulation of success.

If actuation cannot occur, nothing occurs.

4.4 Dashboard (Read-Only)

  • Observational only.
  • Displays events and blocked actions.
  • No controls.
  • No tuning.
  • No influence on execution.

The dashboard never feeds back into SLIME.

5. Inputs

SLIME v0 accepts only:

  • Declarative ActionRequests (from upstream systems).
  • Verdicts from AB-S.

SLIME v0 does not accept:

  • network signals,
  • human overrides,
  • confidence scores,
  • retries,
  • external metrics,
  • configuration flags.

6. Processing Rules

SLIME v0 processing is:

  • Monotone — no adaptive paths.
  • Stateless for decision-making — no learning.
  • Deterministic — identical inputs yield identical outcomes.
  • Fail-closed — ambiguity results in non-event.

Time is not interpreted. Absence of authorization is final.

7. Outputs

SLIME v0 produces only:

  • Authorized physical effect, or
  • Non-event.

Err(Impossibility) is not an error. It is a terminal state.

No output is generated for learning, tuning, or optimization.

8. Absolute Prohibitions (Non-Negotiable)

SLIME v0 must never include:

  • retries or fallback logic,
  • simulated success,
  • adaptive thresholds,
  • configuration modes,
  • debug affordances,
  • semantic logging,
  • explainability layers,
  • UX-driven exceptions,
  • policy interpretation,
  • calibration parameters.

Any such addition violates canon.

9. Security Model

Security is achieved by structural impossibility, not enforcement.

  • No feedback → no learning.
  • No learning → no circumvention.
  • No configuration → no drift.

SLIME does not protect AB-S. SLIME prevents access to AB-S entirely.

10. Compatibility Statement

SLIME v0 is intentionally minimal.

Future systems may:

  • wrap SLIME,
  • deploy SLIME,
  • observe SLIME,
  • connect SLIME to larger environments,

but nothing may be inserted inside SLIME v0.

11. Canonical Statement

SLIME applies a law that cannot be negotiated. It exposes no controls, offers no explanations, and allows no exceptions. What passes through SLIME is physically authorized — everything else does not exist.
