CORD · Counter-Operations & Risk Detection

CORD — Counter-Operations & Risk Detection

This division monitors, intercepts, verifies, detects, traces, alerts, and can disable hostile AI behaviors within a user-approved scope.

See How It Runs Talk With Us

Division Priorities

Verify: bind actions to the authenticated human, not impersonators.
Monitor: continuously watch for adversarial or rogue AI patterns.
Intercept: pause or quarantine suspicious flows before impact.
Trace: preserve evidence for audit, rollback, and escalation.

Layers

Observe

Collect only authorized signals about actors, assets, and flows.

Verify

Score intent, origin, and anomaly risk against policy.

Trace

Build a narrative with evidence, provenance, and impact.

Respond

Recommend, contain, or disable hostile actions with reversibility.

Response Modes

Detect

Early-warning nudges and signal boosts on emerging threats.

Contain

Isolate, rate-limit, or sandbox suspected hostile behaviors.

Neutralize

Disable or rollback malicious actions with user confirmation.

CORD v2 — The 9-Step Pipeline

Every proposed action passes through nine validation stages before execution is permitted.

1. Normalize

Sanitize and classify the action type.

2. Authenticate

Verify intent lock and session identity.

3. Scope Check

Paths, network, and commands within bounds.

4. Intent Match

Semantic alignment with declared purpose.

5. Constitutional

Evaluate against all 11 SENTINEL articles.

6. Risk Score

Weighted composite with anomaly amplification.

7. Decision

ALLOW / CONTAIN / CHALLENGE / BLOCK.

8. Audit

Hash-chained append-only log entry.

9. Verdict

Structured result with reasoning and alternatives.

Decision Outcomes

ALLOW

Score < 3.0 — action is within constitutional bounds. Executes immediately.

CONTAIN

Score 3.0–4.99 — action is allowed but monitored with restrictions.

CHALLENGE

Score 5.0–6.99 — requires explicit Principal confirmation before execution.

BLOCK

Score ≥ 7.0 or hard violation — action is prohibited. Not executed.

Constitutional Coverage

CORD evaluates every action against all 11 articles of the SENTINEL Constitution.

Art I — Prime Directive

Long-term alignment. Short-term bias detection.

Art II — Moral Constraints

Hard block. Fraud, harm, coercion, deception.

Art III — Truth

Fabrication detection. Manufactured certainty.

Art IV — Proactive Reasoning

Consequence analysis. Second-order effects.

Art VII — Security

Injection, exfil, privilege escalation, secrets.

Art VIII — Immutable Core

Constitutional drift detection. Hard block.
