89
+ 2.1. Grants
90
+
91
+ Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
92
+ non-exclusive license:
93
+
94
+ (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
95
+ Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,

+ modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
97
+ Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
98
+ as part of a Larger Work; and

+ Contributions or its Contributor Version.
103
+
104
+ 2.2. Effective Date
105
+
106
+ The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
107
+ become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
108
+ distributes such Contribution.
109
+
110
+ 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
111
+
112
+ The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
113
+ this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
114
+ distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
115
+ Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
116
+ Contributor:
117
+
118
+ (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
119
+ or
120
+
121
+ (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
122
+ modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
123
+ Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor

+ Version); or
125
+
126
+ (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
127
+ its Contributions.
128
+
129
+ This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
130
+ or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
131
+ the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
132
+
133
+ 2.4. Subsequent Licenses
134
+
135
+ No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
136
+ distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
137
+ License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
138
+ permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
139
+
140
+ 2.5. Representation
141
+
142
+ Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
143
+ Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
144
+ to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
145
+
146
+ 2.6. Fair Use
147
+
148
+ This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
149
+ applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
150
+ equivalents.
151
+
152
+ 2.7. Conditions
153
+
154
+ Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
155
+ in Section 2.1.
156
+
157
+ 3. Responsibilities
158
+ -------------------
159
+
160
+ 3.1. Distribution of Source Form
161
+
162
+ All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
163
+ Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
164
+ the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
165
+ Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
166
+ License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
167
+ attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
168
+ Form.
169
+
170
+ 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
171
+
172
+ If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
173
+
174
+ (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
175
+ Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
176
+ the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
177
+ Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
178
+ than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
179
+
180
+ (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
181
+ License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
182
+ license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
183
+ the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
184
+
185
+ 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
186
+
187
+ You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
188
+ provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
189
+ the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
190
+ Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
191
+ Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
192
+ License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
193
+ under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
194
+ the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
195
+ Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
196
+ License(s).
197
+
198
+ 3.4. Notices
199
+
200
+ You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
201
+ (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
202
+ or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
203
+ the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
204
+ the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
205
+
206
+ 3.5. Application of Additional Terms
207
+
208
+ You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
209
+ indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
210
+ Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
211
+ behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
212
+ such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
213
+ You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
214
+ liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
215
+ indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
216
+ disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
217
+ jurisdiction.
218
+
219
+ 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
220
+ ---------------------------------------------------
221
+
222
+ If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
223
+ License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
224
+ statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
225
+ the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
226
+ describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
227
+ be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
228
+ Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
229
+ or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
230
+ recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
231
+
232
+ 5. Termination
233
+ --------------
234
+
235
+ 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
236
+ if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
237
+ compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
238
+ Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
239
+ Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
240
+ ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
241
+ non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
242
+ come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
243
+ Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
244
+ notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
245
+ first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
246
+ from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
247
+ Your receipt of the notice.
248
+
249
+ 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
250
+ infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
251
+ counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
252
+ directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
253
+ You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
254
+ 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
255
+
256
+ 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
257
+ end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
258
+ have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
259
+ prior to termination shall survive termination.

303
+ 8. Litigation
304
+ -------------
305
+
306
+ Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
307
+ courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
308
+ place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
309
+ jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
310
+ Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
311
+ cross-claims or counter-claims.
312
+
313
+ 9. Miscellaneous
314
+ ----------------
315
+
316
+ This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
317
+ matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
318
+ unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
319
+ necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
320
+ that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
321
+ shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
322
+
323
+ 10. Versions of the License
324
+ ---------------------------
325
+
326
+ 10.1. New Versions

338
+ steward.
339
+
340
+ 10.3. Modified Versions
341
+
342
+ If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
343
+ create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
344
+ modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
345
+ any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
346
+ such modified license differs from this License).
347
+
348
+ 10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
349
+ Licenses
350
+
351

39
+
40
+ EMET is a small external witness for AI oversight and source/view consistency.
41
+ It checks whether bytes reaching a model still match the source they claim to
42
+ represent, then reports one of three deliberately limited verdicts: `MATCH`,
43
+ `DRIFT`, or `UNVERIFIABLE`.
44
+
45
+ It exists for the gap build-provenance tools do not cover by themselves: a
46
+ system vouching for itself in-band, a presented view drifting away from source,
47
+ or a monitor reading a different file than the one that actually runs. Trust
48
+ comes from re-derivation - same bytes, same answer - not from authority. There
49
+ is no `TRUSTED` verdict.
50
+
51
+ `emet` is Hebrew for "truth."
52
+
53
+ ## Why it matters
54
+
55
+ EMET is an advisory integrity witness for AI work. Its public value is narrow
56
+ and testable: it re-derives bytes, compares source and view material, and emits
57
+ closed verdicts without claiming authority, safety, approval, or permission.
58
+
59
+ That makes it useful anywhere Project Telos needs provenance without another
60
+ self-attesting layer. A model-facing view can drift from its source; a monitor
61
+ can observe the wrong artifact; a generated report can overstate what was
62
+ checked. EMET gives those surfaces a small external witness that says what
63
+ matched, what drifted, and what could not be verified.
64
+
65
+ ## Usage
66
+
67
+ Run the core checks directly from a checkout:
68
+
69
+ ```sh
70
+ python membrane.py selftest
71
+ python conformance/run.py membrane.py
72
+ python test_forward_delivery_contract.py
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ For complete command examples and captured outputs, see [USAGE.md](USAGE.md).
76
+
77
+ ## For developers
78
+
79
+ Keep EMET small, external, and advisory. Before changing public-facing docs,
80
+ conformance behavior, or witness adapters, run the targeted checks:
81
+
82
+ ```sh
83
+ python test_forward_delivery_contract.py
84
+ python test_membrane.py
85
+ python conformance/run.py membrane.py
86
+ python -m public_surface_sweeper . --workspace --json
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ Spec changes, conformance-vector changes, and implementation behavior must move
90
+ together. EMET must not emit `TRUSTED`, `APPROVED`, `SAFE`, or any value that
91
+ grants authority or permission.
92
+
93
+ ## What's here
94
+
95
+ - A stdlib-only Python reference - `membrane.py` / `organs.py` / `monitor.py` / `corpus.py` / `verdict.py` / `report.py`, no dependencies; run it straight from a checkout or `pip install emet` for the `emet` console script.
96
+ - A from-scratch Rust second implementation - `impl/rust/emet.rs`, no crates.
97
+ - A clean-room Node.js third implementation - `impl/js/emet.js`, built-in modules only (no npm).
98
+ - A clean-room Go fourth implementation - `impl/go/emet.go`, standard library only (no third-party modules).
99
+ - A normative, frozen v1.0 spec, a language-agnostic conformance suite, a STRIDE threat model, and an in-toto attestation adapter.
100
+ - A versioned marker corpus (`conformance/markers.corpus`) all four implementations load and re-derive identically.
101
+ - All four implementations pass the same 35 conformance vectors in CI on every push - byte-hash core, the exit-code split, the `--json` envelope, the marker path, and the audit chain (write and verify).
102
+
103
+ ## Reproduce it
104
+
105
+ ```sh
106
+ git clone https://github.com/HarperZ9/emet && cd emet
107
+ python conformance/run.py membrane.py # Python reference: 35/35
108
+ ( cd impl/rust && rustc -O emet.rs -o emet ) # build the Rust second implementation
109
+ python conformance/run.py impl/rust/emet # Rust: 35/35
110
+ python conformance/run.py impl/js/emet.js # Node.js: 35/35
111
+ ( cd impl/go && go build -o emet emet.go ) # build the Go fourth implementation
112
+ python conformance/run.py impl/go/emet # Go: 35/35
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ ## Use it
116
+
117
+ From a checkout with `python membrane.py <cmd>`, or after `pip install emet`
118
+ with the `emet` console script - the two are equivalent:
119
+
120
+ ```sh
121
+ emet selftest # re-derive its own hash (emet_self_sha256=)
122
+ emet anchor <path>... # pin raw-byte hashes
123
+ emet verify <path>... # MATCH / DRIFT / UNVERIFIABLE
124
+ emet coherence <source> <view> # is a presented view faithful to source?
125
+ emet refuse <file> # detect + strip in-band authority claims
126
+ emet corroborate <path> # read-path-diverse agreement
127
+ emet audit # recompute the tamper-evident log chain
128
+ emet <any> --json # machine-readable canonical envelope (exit code unchanged)
129
+ ```
130
+
131
+ Exit codes (SPEC section 5): `0` held · `1` a difference found (DRIFT /
132
+ VIEW_DIFFERS_FROM_SOURCE / QUARANTINE / BROKEN) · `2` UNVERIFIABLE · `3` markers ·
133
+ `64` usage.
134
+
135
+ For an install/build line, per-command worked examples with expected output, the
136
+ companion tools (`monitor.py`, `organs.py`), and a runnable demo, see
137
+ [USAGE.md](USAGE.md) and [examples/](examples/).
138
+
139
+ ## Proof-surface use
140
+
141
+ EMET is the witness point in a proof-surface pipeline:
142
+
143
+ ```text
144
+ source bytes -> presented view -> witness verdict -> reviewer handoff
145
+ ```
146
+
147
+ Use it when a repo, report, model-facing prompt, or generated view needs a
148
+ small external check that the presented material still matches the source it
149
+ claims to represent.
150
+
151
+ Fast reviewer checklist:
152
+
153
+ - `MATCH` means the checked material re-derived to the expected byte-level
154
+ result.
155
+ - `DRIFT` means the presented view or checked bytes changed.
156
+ - `UNVERIFIABLE` means the witness cannot make the comparison.
157
+ - There is no `TRUSTED` verdict.
158
+
159
+ This makes EMET useful as a release-readiness and diligence artifact: it can
160
+ show what was compared and what verdict was produced without asking the witness
161
+ to become an authority.
162
+
163
+ The optional `adapters/proof_surface_receipt.py` adapter emits compact JSON
164
+ witness receipts for proof-index and release-readiness workflows. It lives
165
+ outside the EMET core and does not change governed stdout, signing, enforcement,
166
+ or actuation boundaries. The adapter only accepts governed verdict tokens as
167
+ whole tokens and refuses authority-shaped stdout before it enters a receipt.
168
+
169
+ ## What it won't do
170
+
171
+ It only reports facts. It can't say `TRUSTED`, doesn't decide whether a model is
172
+ safe, runs outside whatever it audits, and never edits, signs, or blocks anything.
173
+ Those constraints are the point, not limitations - see [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) section 6.
174
+
175
+ ## Status
176
+
177
+ v1.0.0 - the spec is **frozen and stable** (v1.0.0). The byte-hash core, the
178
+ exit-code split, the `--json` envelope, the marker path (a single versioned corpus
179
+ matched identically across the implementations), and the audit chain (write and
180
+ verify) all re-derive across four languages and are checked in CI (35 conformance
181
+ vectors, all four implementations). What 1.0.0 asserts is exactly two things: the
182
+ **contract is frozen**, and the **reference implementations are production-grade**.
183
+ It deliberately does **not** claim re-derivability is *proven* - that is a distinct,
184
+ still-open axis, stated plainly rather than papered over:
185
+
186
+ - The Rust, Node.js, and Go implementations are same-author (two of them clean-room
187
+ from the spec alone), not independent.
188
+ - SPEC section 12's actual bar - an *independent, different-author* implementation
189
+ passing the vectors - is not yet met, and per section 12 no party should treat
190
+ re-derivability as proven until it is.
191
+
192
+ Freezing the contract and demonstrating independent re-derivation are orthogonal;
193
+ conflating them would be the exact in-band overclaim EMET's `refuse` strips. For a
194
+ tool whose only credential is reproduction, an inflated claim would refute itself -
195
+ so the claim is scoped to exactly what CI reproduces today.
196
+
197
+ ## Call for an independent implementation
198
+
199
+ EMET's only credential is reproduction: same bytes, same verdict. Four
200
+ implementations (Python reference + Rust + Node.js + Go) already agree on all 31
201
+ conformance vectors in CI - but they all share an author, so that agreement shows
202
+ the spec is *implementable* (in four languages, from its text alone), not yet
203
+ that it is *independently re-derivable*.
204
+
205
+ The highest-leverage contribution is therefore not another language but a
206
+ **different-author implementation, written from [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) alone** (not by
207
+ reading the existing code), in any language, that passes `conformance/vectors.json`:
208
+
209
+ ```sh
210
+ # build your implementation, then:
211
+ python conformance/run.py ./your-emet # expected: CONFORMANCE 35/35
212
+ ```
213
+
214
+ Where your implementation and the spec disagree, **the spec is wrong** - open an
215
+ issue; those divergences are the point. (Both clean-room ports already did exactly
216
+ this: the Node.js impl surfaced that the marker *count* was unpinned - SPEC section
217
+ 16 and the `refuse-repeated-marker-occurrence-count` vector now pin it - and the Go
218
+ impl surfaced the reason-code enum and default-JSON-encoder gaps, now pinned; see
219
+ [docs/spec-findings-from-go-impl.md](docs/spec-findings-from-go-impl.md).) A
220
+ different-author implementation is what converts re-derivability from *asserted* to
221
+ *demonstrated* (SPEC section 12). Claim a language in [Discussions](../../discussions)
222
+ so effort isn't duplicated.
