Standards Conformance Matrix

1. Conformance Matrix

Standard Target	Internal Substrate	Current Status	Missing Artifact
ISO 26262	Q16.16, deterministic replay, O-AMMR basis	Architecture-aligned	Safety case, HARA, FMEA, tool qualification
W3C DID/VC	O-AMMR receipts, GCCL-Rep transition atoms	Schema-ready	DID method, VC schema, signature suite
MPEG-G	Genome18, NUVMAP address projection	Adapter-ready	MPEG-G mapping, test vectors
Supply-chain attestation	O-AMMR, KOT, Warden	Strong internal fit	SLSA/in-toto/CycloneDX bindings
Reproducible computation	GCCL-Rep, AVMR, O-AMMR, fixed-point core	Strong internal fit	Canonical replay harness

2. Audit Stance Definitions

We define the stack’s audit stance as follows:

• Architecture-aligned: Internal models are designed with standard-compatible constraints (e.g., determinism) but lack formal mapping.
• Adapter-ready: Internal structures can be exposed through a standard interface with minimal logic.
• Schema-ready: Data shapes and transition semantics are stable enough for formal schema definition.
• Conformance-tested: Automated test suites verify parity against standard test vectors.
• Externally certified: Verified by an independent third-party auditor for the specified standard.

3. Standards-Native Interoperability Claim

The Sovereign Research Stack is standards-native in the sense that its core abstractions are designed around externally auditable properties: deterministic arithmetic, replayable state transitions, verifiable receipts, bounded resource accounting, and projection-local validation.

This architecture ensures that global agreement occurs on the transition witness (GCCL-Rep), not on the full internal cognitive geometry of any individual node.
