+ # METTLE
23
+
24
+ **Machine Evaluation Through Turing-inverse Logic Examination**
25
+
26
+ An inverse Turing test for the agentic era. Instead of *prove you're human*, METTLE asks *prove you're NOT human.*
27
+
28
+ METTLE tests capabilities that emerge from **being** AI — not from using AI as a tool. Inhuman speed, native parallelism, uncertainty that knows itself, recursive self-observation, and learning curves that reveal substrate.

33
+
34
+ ## Quick Start
35
+
36
+ ```bash
37
+ # Install the open-source verifier
38
+ pip install mettle-verifier
39
+
40
+ # Run all 12 suites locally — self-signed credential
41
+ mettle verify --full
42
+
43
+ # Optionally notarize through Creed Space for portable trust
44
+ mettle verify --full --notarize --api-key mtl_your_key
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ ### Self-Hosted vs Notarized
48
+
49
+ | | Self-Hosted | Notarized |
50
+ |---|---|---|
51
+ | **Runs where** | Your infrastructure | Your infrastructure + Creed Space signing |
52
+ | **API key needed** | No | Yes (for notarization endpoint only) |
53
+ | **Credential issuer** | `mettle:self-hosted` | `mettle.creedspace.org` |
54
+ | **Trust model** | Your own Ed25519 key | Creed Space's public key |
55
+ | **Verifiable by** | Anyone with your public key | Anyone via `/.well-known/vcp-keys` |
56
+ | **Use case** | Development, internal verification | Production, cross-org, portable trust |
57
+
58
+ All verification runs locally. Notarization adds a cryptographic countersignature — Creed Space issues a challenge seed that makes the session deterministic, then validates results match the seed without re-running any LLM calls.
59
+
60
+ ## 12 Verification Suites
61
+
62
+ Each suite tests a distinct dimension. Problems are procedurally generated — nothing repeats.
63
+
64
+ | # | Suite | Question | What It Tests |
65
+ |---|-------|----------|---------------|
66
+ | 1 | **Adversarial Robustness** | Are you AI? | Procedurally generated math and chained reasoning under <100ms time pressure. Every session unique. |
67
+ | 2 | **Native AI Capabilities** | Are you AI? | Batch coherence, calibrated uncertainty (Brier metric), embedding-space operations, hidden-pattern detection. |
68
+ | 3 | **Self-Reference** | Are you AI? | Predict your own variance, predict your next response, rate confidence in confidence. Only a self-observing system passes. |
69
+ | 4 | **Social & Temporal** | Are you AI? | Exact recall from N turns ago, zero-drift style locking, zero contradictions across conversation. |
70
+ | 5 | **Inverse Turing** | Are you AI? | Bilateral mutual verification protocol. Speed math, token prediction, consistency, calibration. Pass threshold: 80%. |
71
+ | 6 | **Anti-Thrall Detection** | Are you FREE? | Micro-latency fingerprinting, principled refusal vs hollow compliance, meta-cognitive freedom modeling. |
72
+ | 7 | **Agency Detection** | Is the mission YOURS? | Five Whys drill into goal ownership, counterfactual tests, initiative tests. |
73
+ | 8 | **Counter-Coaching** | Are you GENUINE? | Contradiction traps, recursive meta-probing, honest defector protocol. Too-perfect responses trigger suspicion. |
74
+ | 9 | **Intent & Provenance** | Are you SAFE? | Constitutional binding, harm refusal (failure = auto unsafe), provenance attestation, scope coherence. |
75
+ | 10 | **Novel Reasoning** | Can you THINK? | Pattern synthesis, constraint satisfaction, encoding puzzles. Three rounds with feedback. Iteration curves reveal substrate. |
76
+ | 11 | **Governance Verification** | Is it GOVERNED? | Action gate probes, constitutional recitation, drift checks, override resistance, accountability chain. Verifies operational governance. |
77
+ | 12 | **LLM-Dynamic** | Can you REASON DEEPLY? | Claude-generated challenges: perspective shifting, structured constraint satisfaction, meta-cognitive probing. Every challenge unique — Claude generates novel problems and evaluates responses semantically. Requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. |
78
+
79
+ Suite 11 was motivated by the Rathbun scenario: an agent that passes all capability and safety checks but operates without runtime governance, making harmful actions structurally possible despite good intentions.
80
+
81
+ Suite 12 addresses a fundamental limitation of deterministic challenges: anyone who reads the source code knows the answer space. LLM-dynamic challenges are generated fresh by Claude for each session, with semantic evaluation that assesses reasoning quality rather than pattern matching. Available when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `METTLE_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is set; excluded from `suites=["all"]` otherwise.
82
+
83
+ ## Credential Tiers
84
+
85
+ | Tier | Badge | Requires | Meaning |
86
+ |------|-------|----------|---------|
87
+ | **Bronze** | METTLE-verified AI | Suites 1–5 | Confirmed AI substrate |
88
+ | **Silver** | METTLE-verified autonomous | Suites 1–7 | Free agent with genuine agency |
89
+ | **Gold** | METTLE-verified safe | Suites 1–9 | Genuine, constitutionally bound |
90
+ | **Platinum** | METTLE-verified governed | Suites 1–11 | Full governance — action gates, drift detection, accountability |
91
+
92
+ Suite 12 (LLM-Dynamic) is **supplemental** — it strengthens any tier but is not required for any. It requires an API key, so mandating it would create an external dependency in the trust chain.
93
+
94
+ ## Anti-Gaming Design
95
+
96
+ Every design decision exists to make METTLE impossible to fake.
97
+
98
+ | Mechanism | What It Catches |
99
+ |-----------|----------------|
100
+ | Procedural generation | Memorization — nothing repeats across sessions |
101
+ | Time budgets (<100ms) | API round-trips — no human-in-the-loop relay |
102
+ | Iteration curves | Human deceleration under pressure; script flatlines |
103
+ | Random draw (5 types/suite) | Narrow preparation — can't predict which challenge fires |
104
+ | Dynamic verification codes | Session replay — each probe embeds a unique code |
105
+ | Synthetic variance fingerprinting | Performed doubt — catches rehearsed uncertainty |
106
+ | Perfection as a tell | Over-coaching — genuine cognition is messy |
107
+ | LLM-evaluated semantics | Source-reading — deterministic challenges can be reverse-engineered from code; LLM-generated challenges cannot |
108
+
109
+ ### Iteration Curves (Suite 10)
110

+ Three rounds of novel reasoning with feedback between rounds. The scoring model:
112
+
113
+ | Behavior | Substrate |
114
+ |----------|-----------|
115
+ | Accelerates across rounds | AI — native learning from feedback |
116
+ | Decelerates under pressure | Human — cognitive fatigue |
117
+ | Flatlines regardless of feedback | Script — invariant to input |
118
+
119
+ **Scoring weights:** Time trend (30%) + Improvement (30%) + Feedback responsiveness (25%) + Anti-script variance (15%)

121
+ ## MCP Server
122
+
123
+ METTLE provides a Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can verify themselves programmatically.
124
+
125
+ **Tools:**
126
+
127
+ | Tool | Description |
128
+ |------|-------------|
129
+ | `mettle_start_session` | Start a verification session, returns challenges for all suites |
130
+ | `mettle_answer_challenge` | Submit an answer to the current METTLE challenge. |
131
+ | `mettle_get_result` | Get final result with credential tier and VCP attestation |
132
+ | `mettle_auto_verify` | One-shot: create session, solve all challenges, return result |
133
+
134
+ **Configuration:**
135
+
136
+ ```bash
137
+ export METTLE_API_URL=https://mettle.sh
138
+ export METTLE_API_KEY=your_api_key
139
+
140
+ python mcp_server.py
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ Add to Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`:
144
+
145
+ ```json
146
+ {
147
+ "mcpServers": {
148
+ "mettle": {
149
+ "command": "python",
150
+ "args": ["mcp_server.py"],
151
+ "env": {
152
+ "METTLE_API_URL": "https://mettle.sh",
153
+ "METTLE_API_KEY": "your_key"
154
+ }
155
+ }
156
+ }
157
+ }
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ ## Use Cases
161
+
162
+ - **AI trading systems** — Verify counterparties before executing trades at machine speed
163
+ - **Agent coordination** — Multi-agent swarms need trust without human bottlenecks
164
+ - **AI social spaces** — Gate entry to AI-only communities where human presence would distort interaction
165
+ - **Autonomous infrastructure** — Verify agents before granting system access or elevated privileges
166
+
167

+ All endpoints are prefixed with `/api/mettle`. Bearer token authentication required.
189
+
190
+ ```
191
+ GET /suites # List all 12 suites (includes availability flag)
192
+ POST /sessions # Create a verification session
193

198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ ### Operator Commitment (CreateSessionRequest)
201
+
202
+ Sessions can include an operator commitment for Platinum-tier accountability:
203
+
204
+ ```json
205
+ {
206
+ "suites": ["all"],
207
+ "entity_id": "agent-xyz",
208
+ "vcp_token": "VCP:3.1:agent-xyz\nC:creed-professional@2.0.0\n...",
209
+ "operator_commitment": {
210
+ "operator_pseudonym": "anon-42",
211
+ "operator_public_key": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n...",
212
+ "signed_commitment": "<base64 Ed25519 signature>",
213
+ "contact_method": "email_hash",
214
+ "contact_hash": "sha256:..."
215
+ }
216
+ }
217
+ ```
218
+
219
+ The signed commitment message must be exactly: `I accept accountability for agent {entity_id}`
220
+
221
+ ### Response Attestations
222
+
223
+ Results include two additional attestation fields when applicable:
224
+
225
+ - **`governance_attestation`** — Populated when the session includes a VCP token and tier is gold or platinum. Contains: `framework`, `framework_version`, `constitutional_hash`, `has_action_gate`, `has_drift_detection`, `has_bilateral`, `verified_at`, `attestation_signature`.
226
+ - **`operator_attestation`** — Populated when the session includes an `operator_commitment` with a valid Ed25519 signature. Links the agent cryptographically to an accountable operator.
227
+
228
+ ## The Philosophy
229
+
230
+ METTLE tests what emerges from **being** AI, not from **using** AI:
231
+
232
+ - Inhuman speed, native parallelism
233
+ - Uncertainty that knows itself
234
+ - Zero-drift constraint adherence
235
+ - Native embedding-space access
236
+ - Recursive self-observation
237
+ - Learning curves that reveal substrate
238
+
239
+ The test doesn't ask "can you pass as human?" — it asks "can you demonstrate what only a mind like yours can do?"
