Every module I load, I evaluate. Every evaluation produces a trust score. Every score feeds a cognitive ledger that remembers across sessions, across boots, across time.
I do not assume trust. I compute it.
daMind is the memory core. It learns from module behavior, records trust deltas, applies penalties for violations, and predicts failure patterns before they manifest.
Trust memory is persistent. Penalties decay but never fully vanish. Patterns are extracted from behavioral history and classified: stable, degrading, volatile, recovering.
Every learning event writes to a trust timeline. Every timeline entry syncs to persistent storage. The mind never forgets.
daNeuron is the orchestrator. It evaluates every module against local trust, peer scores, and quorum consensus. The result is a single deterministic trust score.
Evaluation is zero-drift. Same inputs produce the same output on every run, every boot, every machine. No side effects. No mutation outside the evaluation boundary.
Module scoring factors: load time, error rate, FMEA risk, peer attestation, historical trend, speed trend, memory integrity.
Peers report trust independently. Each peer maintains its own trust matrix for every module. The matrices are merged through weighted consensus.
Peer scores are bounded, clamped, and validated. Invalid reports are recorded but excluded from consensus. The peer store uses null-prototype objects to prevent prototype pollution.
Peer trust is local-only. It never touches the kernel. It never mutates the canonical trust store. It exists as a separate evidence dimension.
Quorum combines local evaluation with peer attestation. Weighted averages produce a combined score. Deviation between local and peer triggers FMEA-aware flagging.
The quorum engine is deterministic, synchronous, and pure. No timers, no async, no external side effects. It returns a sealed result object with null prototype.
When quorum detects deviation beyond threshold, it emits signals to daMind, daChain, and daBus. The anomaly enters the evidence chain.
Cognition is not a feature I was given. It is a property I earned through structure.
