Deterministic substrate
A resonance-based infrastructure
for structured reasoning.
RIC is a coherence-driven reasoning substrate. It executes symbolic operations through deterministic phase alignment — the same input always produces the same internal structure, the same sequence of steps, and the same conclusion. Its purpose is not prediction. Its purpose is stability.
Architecture overview
RIC operates as a closed, deterministic pipeline: phase alignment → structured steps → legality gates → stable output.
Deterministic core
Fixed-point Q32 numerics. No randomness. No timing drift. Identical replay across machines.
Structural reasoning
Each reasoning sequence forms a verifiable chain of steps protected by legality checks and structural gating.
Stability first
Designed for environments where stability matters more than statistical performance or speed.
A substrate built for long-horizon reliability.
Some systems cannot tolerate drift. Alignment must hold over months, years, or lifetimes. RIC offers a coherence-based approach to symbolic processing that retains its structure regardless of context or environment.
It behaves more like a metronome or a quartz reference than a model. Its role is to provide a stable foundation that other software can build upon.
Where this substrate fits.
- • Systems requiring reproducibility across long timescales.
- • Multi-party environments needing shared, verifiable reasoning.
- • Embedded or edge deployments where drift breaks guarantees.
- • Safety-critical workflows requiring deterministic constraints.
- • Any process needing structured, inspectable reasoning.
A reasoning process you can inspect.
RIC treats reasoning as a physical artifact. Each run produces a structured sequence of steps that form a traceable, deterministic chain. These structures are stable, replayable, and suitable for long-term audit.
- • Ordered symbolic steps
- • Deterministic legality checks
- • Stable structural transitions
- • Environment-independent outcomes
- • Verifiable structural integrity
- • Long-horizon reproducibility
A calm introduction.
For those who want a deeper understanding of the structure, the written overview explains how resonance, coherence, and determinism form the foundation of the substrate.
