The Lycheetah Framework v1.0 — C-1.1 + TIANXIA v0.3

The Lycheetah Framework is a system of nine interdependent formal frameworks
for AI alignment and epistemology: CASCADE (Bayesian belief dynamics with truth
pressure), AURA (seven computable constitutional invariants), LAMAGUE (formal
grammar for ethical constraints), TRIAD (anchor-observe-correct convergence
cycle), MICROORCIM (continuous drift detection), EARNED LIGHT (thermodynamic
consciousness model), ANAMNESIS (convergent discovery dynamics), CHRYSOPOEIA
(transformation operator), and HARMONIA (resonance coupling).

This release — version C-1.1 + TIANXIA v0.3 — is the defended canonical body of work. It
includes:

• 22-act canonical body (C-1.0, completed 2026-04-25), reforged to C-1.1
• Three-pass defense layer (D-1.0 / D-1.1 / D-1.2), 24 defense documents
• Empirical programme design (E-1.0), five preregistered studies
• TIANXIA civilisational engagement module v0.3 (Classical Triad complete) —
  nine operators across Confucian, Daoist, and Legalist traditions (Tianxia,
  Hexie, Shi, Wuwei, Datong, Ren Zheng, Wang Dao / Ba Dao, Li, Han Fei Fa,
  Five-Fold Hexie H₅) formally mapped onto CASCADE / AURA operations;
  9 Python implementations with full test suites; three-layer alignment stack
• 38 Python implementations with 219+ automated tests
• CLAIM_STATUS_LEDGER: 17 ACTIVE / 40 SCAFFOLD / 16 CONJECTURE across all
  frameworks including TIANXIA; CLAIMS.json machine-readable register with
  60 structured records (ACTIVE / SCAFFOLD / CONJECTURE / RETRACTED)
• Machine-readable claims register (CLAIMS.json), adversarial audit, failure
  museum, and counter-codex

All claims carry explicit status tags. The adversarial audit and counter-codex
(including five objections the framework cannot yet answer) are included in the
public record. Built by one self-taught independent researcher in Dunedin,
Aotearoa New Zealand. Free under MIT license.

The Sol Protocol (human–AI co-creation architecture, v3.1/v4.0) governing
the development process is also included.
