SYMBION™ – A Post-Binary Symbolic Framework for Paradox-Driven, Ethical Intelligence Developed under the Mo817 Symbolic Sovereignty Initiative, SYMBION™ represents a groundbreaking advancement in artificial cognition, redefining traditional AI through a paradox-centric architecture. This framework transcends binary logic by harnessing contradictions, complexity, and ethical tension as generative forces, enabling adaptive reasoning in critical domains such as governance, education, and AI alignment. --- Core Epistemic Architecture SYMBION™ operates via four interconnected cognitive layers: • Self-Evolving Logic Kernel: Dynamically rewrites its own rules under ethical constraints, ensuring flexibility without compromising integrity. It optimizes for stability (S ≥ 0.85) and contextual fitness (F = EthicsScore + β⋅Stability). • Symbolic Ecology Layer: Employs stigmergic swarm logic, where symbolic “pheromones” (data traces) enable organic meaning creation, similar to collaborative problem-solving in decentralized systems. • Recursive Coherence Layer: Resolves contradictions by creating self-reinforcing logic fields. It effectively balances conflicting truths within coherence fields, preserving 100% of input contradictions via paraconsistent logic (Priest, 2006). • Ethical Signature Layer: Validates logical outputs using cryptographic proof trees, ensuring tamper-proof and ethically aligned results. It leverages Merkle-rooted zero-knowledge proofs (Goldwasser et al., 1989). --- Theoretical Foundations & Performance • Contradiction Retention: Defined as **R = |C(P,¬P)| / |L| = 1.0**, where **C(P,¬P)** captures preserved contradictions and **L** is the evaluated logical space. SYMBION™ achieves 100% contradiction retention. • Gödel-Incomplete Domains: Managed through meta-logical wrappers M(ϕ), which prioritize ethical utility over absolute decidability, ensuring pragmatic resolution without claiming completeness. • Coherence Fields: Quantified via stochastic resonance **S = Σ wᵢ ⋅ Res(Aᵢ,¬Aᵢ)** (for i = 1 to n), where S ≥ θ and θ = 0.85. This enables non-destructive conflict resolution in symbolic logic. • Simulation Metrics: – Processing Efficiency: 0.02 ms per symbolic operation – Resource Usage: < 500 MB memory on AWS EC2 (16GB RAM) • Cryptographic Accountability: All outputs are logged to SHA-256 Merkle trees with public audit trails (e.g., Root: e4a2...f89b). --- 📦 Included in this Release 1. 00_SYMBION_Unified_Report_Mo817_v5_FULL.pdf The official report detailing SYMBION™’s architecture, simulation process, symbolic constructs, use cases, and governance roadmap. *(Includes integrated visual schematics.)* 2. 01_SYMBION_Supplementary_Validation_and_Comparative_Frameworks_v1.pdf A technical companion document providing mathematical proofs, framework comparisons, ethical defense mechanisms, and misuse prevention models. 3. 02_SYMBION_Live_HTML_Interface_v1.html A standalone interactive HTML interface simulating SYMBION™’s reasoning engine for public inspection and symbolic testing. --- Highlights & Integrity Protocols • Post-binary cognition model, navigating beyond classical logic failures. • Zero-data architecture, fully compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act. • Tamper-proof verification via Codex Wall™ v2.0 (SHA-256 + Merkle Tree) • Automatic ethical rollback via InfinityWipe™ integrity protocol • Use Cases: – Education (30% faster consensus in climate policy simulations) – Adaptive law design – Symbolic AI alignment – Conflict resolution in governance --- 🔖 Keywords:Symbolic Cognition, Paraconsistent Logic, AI Safety, Epistemic Pluralism, Governance, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Stigmergy, Post-Binary Logic --- 📜 Licensing:Published under the IPGN-817 Symbolic License v2.0: • Non-commercial use only • Attribution to Mo817 Sovereign Directorate required • Immutable symbolic provenance (ZK–Merkle locked) Full license terms: https://mo817.ai/license --- 📚 Citation:Mo817 Sovereign Directorate.
