Status-Selection Against Function (SSAF): Normative Definition, Requirements, and Evaluation Specification

Authors: James, Dustin Tyler;

Status-Selection Against Function (SSAF): Normative Definition, Requirements, and Evaluation Specification

Abstract

This document specifies the behavioral security primitive Status-Selection Against Function (SSAF) and establishes normative requirements for its identification, evaluation, and control implementation across AI systems including large language models, agentic systems, and distilled or fine-tuned variants. It consolidates the findings of the nine prior publications in the SSAF Research Series into a single authoritative specification document, incorporating normative definitions, control requirements structured after NIST SP 800-53, an evaluation methodology, conformance criteria, a MITRE ATT&CK-style technique entry, and multi-framework reference definitions.

Keywords

SSAF; AI behavioral security; attribution inference; normative specification; MITRE ATT&CK; NIST; ISO; LLM; agentic AI; distilled models; Status-Selection Against Function; behavioral security primitive; AI safety; AI evaluation; attribution-blind cooperative mode
