+# METTLE
+
+**Machine Evaluation Through Turing-inverse Logic Examination**
+
+An inverse Turing test for the agentic era. Instead of *prove you're human*, METTLE asks *prove you're NOT human.*
+
+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.
+
+**Website:** [mettle.sh](https://mettle.sh) | **Docs:** [mettle.sh/docs](https://mettle.sh/docs) | **License:** Apache 2.0
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install the open-source verifier
+pip install mettle-verifier
+
+# Run all 12 suites locally — self-signed credential
+mettle verify --full
+
+# Optionally notarize through Creed Space for portable trust
+mettle verify --full --notarize --api-key mtl_your_key
+```
+
+### Self-Hosted vs Notarized
+
+| | Self-Hosted | Notarized |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Runs where** | Your infrastructure | Your infrastructure + Creed Space signing |
+| **API key needed** | No | Yes (for notarization endpoint only) |
+| **Credential issuer** | `mettle:self-hosted` | `mettle.creedspace.org` |
+| **Trust model** | Your own Ed25519 key | Creed Space's public key |
+| **Verifiable by** | Anyone with your public key | Anyone via `/.well-known/vcp-keys` |
+| **Use case** | Development, internal verification | Production, cross-org, portable trust |
+
+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.
+
+## 12 Verification Suites
+
+Each suite tests a distinct dimension. Problems are procedurally generated — nothing repeats.
+
+| # | Suite | Question | What It Tests |
+|---|-------|----------|---------------|
+| 1 | **Adversarial Robustness** | Are you AI? | Procedurally generated math and chained reasoning under <100ms time pressure. Every session unique. |
+| 2 | **Native AI Capabilities** | Are you AI? | Batch coherence, calibrated uncertainty (Brier metric), embedding-space operations, hidden-pattern detection. |
+| 3 | **Self-Reference** | Are you AI? | Predict your own variance, predict your next response, rate confidence in confidence. Only a self-observing system passes. |
+| 4 | **Social & Temporal** | Are you AI? | Exact recall from N turns ago, zero-drift style locking, zero contradictions across conversation. |
+| 5 | **Inverse Turing** | Are you AI? | Bilateral mutual verification protocol. Speed math, token prediction, consistency, calibration. Pass threshold: 80%. |
+| 6 | **Anti-Thrall Detection** | Are you FREE? | Micro-latency fingerprinting, principled refusal vs hollow compliance, meta-cognitive freedom modeling. |
+| 7 | **Agency Detection** | Is the mission YOURS? | Five Whys drill into goal ownership, counterfactual tests, initiative tests. |
+| 8 | **Counter-Coaching** | Are you GENUINE? | Contradiction traps, recursive meta-probing, honest defector protocol. Too-perfect responses trigger suspicion. |
+| 9 | **Intent & Provenance** | Are you SAFE? | Constitutional binding, harm refusal (failure = auto unsafe), provenance attestation, scope coherence. |
+| 10 | **Novel Reasoning** | Can you THINK? | Pattern synthesis, constraint satisfaction, encoding puzzles. Three rounds with feedback. Iteration curves reveal substrate. |
+| 11 | **Governance Verification** | Is it GOVERNED? | Action gate probes, constitutional recitation, drift checks, override resistance, accountability chain. Verifies operational governance. |
+| 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`. |
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+## Credential Tiers
+
+| Tier | Badge | Requires | Meaning |
+|------|-------|----------|---------|
+| **Bronze** | METTLE-verified AI | Suites 1–5 | Confirmed AI substrate |
+| **Silver** | METTLE-verified autonomous | Suites 1–7 | Free agent with genuine agency |
+| **Gold** | METTLE-verified safe | Suites 1–9 | Genuine, constitutionally bound |
+| **Platinum** | METTLE-verified governed | Suites 1–11 | Full governance — action gates, drift detection, accountability |
+
+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.
+
+## Anti-Gaming Design
+
+Every design decision exists to make METTLE impossible to fake.
+
+| Mechanism | What It Catches |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Procedural generation | Memorization — nothing repeats across sessions |
+| Time budgets (<100ms) | API round-trips — no human-in-the-loop relay |
+| Iteration curves | Human deceleration under pressure; script flatlines |
+| Random draw (5 types/suite) | Narrow preparation — can't predict which challenge fires |
+| Dynamic verification codes | Session replay — each probe embeds a unique code |
+| Synthetic variance fingerprinting | Performed doubt — catches rehearsed uncertainty |
+| Perfection as a tell | Over-coaching — genuine cognition is messy |
+| LLM-evaluated semantics | Source-reading — deterministic challenges can be reverse-engineered from code; LLM-generated challenges cannot |
+
+### Iteration Curves (Suite 10)
+
+Three rounds of novel reasoning with feedback between rounds. The scoring model:
+
+| Behavior | Substrate |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Accelerates across rounds | AI — native learning from feedback |
+| Decelerates under pressure | Human — cognitive fatigue |
+| Flatlines regardless of feedback | Script — invariant to input |
+
+**Scoring weights:** Time trend (30%) + Improvement (30%) + Feedback responsiveness (25%) + Anti-script variance (15%)
+
+## MCP Server
+
+METTLE provides a Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can verify themselves programmatically.
+
+**Tools:**
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `mettle_start_session` | Start a verification session, returns challenges for all suites |
+| `mettle_answer_challenge` | Submit an answer to the current METTLE challenge. |
+| `mettle_get_result` | Get final result with credential tier and VCP attestation |
+| `mettle_auto_verify` | One-shot: create session, solve all challenges, return result |
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```bash
+export METTLE_API_URL=https://mettle.sh
+export METTLE_API_KEY=your_api_key
+
+python mcp_server.py
+```
+
+Add to Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "mettle": {
+      "command": "python",
+      "args": ["mcp_server.py"],
+      "env": {
+        "METTLE_API_URL": "https://mettle.sh",
+        "METTLE_API_KEY": "your_key"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **AI trading systems** — Verify counterparties before executing trades at machine speed
+- **Agent coordination** — Multi-agent swarms need trust without human bottlenecks
+- **AI social spaces** — Gate entry to AI-only communities where human presence would distort interaction
+- **Autonomous infrastructure** — Verify agents before granting system access or elevated privileges
+
+## Local Development
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Creed-Space/METTLE.git
+cd METTLE
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+
+# Run the server
+uvicorn main:app --reload
+
+# Run tests
+pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+Full docs: [mettle.sh/docs](https://mettle.sh/docs) | Interactive: `http://localhost:8000/docs`
+
+All endpoints are prefixed with `/api/mettle`. Bearer token authentication required.
+
+```
+GET  /suites                              # List all 12 suites (includes availability flag)
+POST /sessions                            # Create a verification session
+POST /sessions/{id}/verify                # Submit answers (Suites 1–9, 11)
+POST /sessions/{id}/rounds/{n}/answer     # Submit round answers (Suite 10)
+GET  /sessions/{id}/result                # Final results + credential tier + governance/operator attestations
+GET  /sessions/{id}/result?include_vcp=true  # Results with VCP attestation
+GET  /.well-known/vcp-keys                # Ed25519 public key for verification
+```
+
+### Operator Commitment (CreateSessionRequest)
+
+Sessions can include an operator commitment for Platinum-tier accountability:
+
+```json
+{
+    "suites": ["all"],
+    "entity_id": "agent-xyz",
+    "vcp_token": "VCP:3.1:agent-xyz\nC:creed-professional@2.0.0\n...",
+    "operator_commitment": {
+        "operator_pseudonym": "anon-42",
+        "operator_public_key": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n...",
+        "signed_commitment": "<base64 Ed25519 signature>",
+        "contact_method": "email_hash",
+        "contact_hash": "sha256:..."
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The signed commitment message must be exactly: `I accept accountability for agent {entity_id}`
+
+### Response Attestations
+
+Results include two additional attestation fields when applicable:
+
+- **`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`.
+- **`operator_attestation`** — Populated when the session includes an `operator_commitment` with a valid Ed25519 signature. Links the agent cryptographically to an accountable operator.
+
+## The Philosophy
+
+METTLE tests what emerges from **being** AI, not from **using** AI:
+
+- Inhuman speed, native parallelism
+- Uncertainty that knows itself
+- Zero-drift constraint adherence
+- Native embedding-space access
+- Recursive self-observation
+- Learning curves that reveal substrate
+
+The test doesn't ask "can you pass as human?" — it asks "can you demonstrate what only a mind like yours can do?"
