AetherRuntime v2.0.0 — Reference Implementation

AetherRuntime v2.0.0 — Reference Implementation

Reference implementation of the v0.1.0 architecture. The v0.1.0 hypothesis (F1–F5) is not falsified by the implementation or the experiments, but it is also not confirmed.

What v2.0.0 adds to v0.1.0

v0.1.0 (hypothesis)	v2.0.0 (this release)
Formal architecture specified	Reference implementation built
Two propositions (proof sketches)	Implemented local anomaly detection and monotonic halt
Five failure conditions (F1–F5)	Evaluated against M1–M6 (simulation)
No implementation, no tests, no experiments	16 modules, 60 tests, 3 experiments
No PyPI package	aetherruntime-arch 2.0.0 on PyPI

Implementation status

Component	Status
Modules	16 (Python, ~4,520 lines)
CLI	aetherruntime info|verify|simulate|experiment
Tests	60 passed (pytest)
Experiments	3/3 completed (simulated data)
PyPI	aetherruntime-arch 2.0.0
GitHub	https://github.com/gitdeeper15/aetherRuntime
Website	https://aether-runtime.netlify.app

Experimental results (simulation only)

#	Experiment	Result
1	Detection Accuracy (M1, M2)	M1 = 109.67 (S1–S5 total); M2 = 7.33 (S6 false positives)
2	Halt Window (M5)	10/10 enforced; mean window = 0.000243 s; median = 0.000220 s
3	Recovery Correctness (M6)	10/10 verified; M6 = 1.0000

Caveat: Experiments use simulated data. These are preliminary results; no real-world deployment has been evaluated.

What v2.0.0 does not change

• The v0.1.0 hypothesis (F1–F5) — still the authoritative record.
• Propositions P1–P2 — still proof sketches, not machine-checked.
• Real-world deployment — still not evaluated.

Installation

pip install aetherruntime-arch

Requires Python 3.9+. Runtime dependency: cryptography >= 41.0.

Known limitations

1. Simulation only. No real-world deployment.
2. Simplified network model.
3. Simplified Byzantine model.
4. Root registry is centralized.
5. No ablation.
6. No mechanized proofs (P1–P2 remain proof sketches).
7. No performance benchmarks.
