Conduct Ecosystem Working Specification
The complete version 0.5 source of truth: purpose, components, protections, architecture, governance, research path, and future hypotheses.
THE PUBLIC RECORD
Examine the work behind Conduct.
Open Conduct publishes the proposal, the choices that shape it, the alternatives it rejected, the questions it has not answered, and the synthetic evidence used so far. Every item carries a status so prior work is not mistaken for the current standard or real-world proof.
START WITH YOUR QUESTION
Choose the record that answers it.
Decision Register
What the project decided, why, how firm each decision is, and what could cause reconsideration.
Open Questions Register
The empirical, legal, cultural, product, technical, governance, and operating questions that remain unanswered.
Adversarial Integrity Audit
How the earlier design could fail consumers, workers, businesses, implementers, regulators, and the public.
Suites A–L
Twelve synthetic test suites comparing structures against known failure conditions without claiming real-world validation.
Distributed Integrity Decision
Why the leading architecture uses signed assertions, governed registries, selective disclosure, and distributed custody without requiring blockchain.

HOW LABELS WORK
Each label shows what an artifact can—and cannot—establish.
Current
Controls or accurately describes the present proposal.
Candidate
A leading method, parameter, or direction that still needs evidence.
Evidence-only
Informs the proposal without controlling it or proving field outcomes.
Historical
Preserves an earlier state or argument that later work changed.
Superseded
Replaced by a named later artifact and retained for traceability.
STRUCTURAL SIMULATION
Twelve suites narrowed the architecture.
They expose contradictions and compare structures against known failures. They do not establish human validity, legal approval, field fairness, business demand, security, or production readiness.
NCS structure
Preserve response distribution, sufficiency, and uncertainty.
VCI structure
Separate responsibility, evidence, lifecycle, and business failure.
CQ synthesis
Reject unconstrained averaging and preserve non-compensation.
Context transfer
Start mappings at zero and require exact source–target–purpose profiles.
Benefit result
Use consumer-initiated, purpose-bound results and genuinely additional benefits.
Identity and custody
Minimize assurance and avoid central raw-history custody.
Network reports
Use fixed, privacy-protected aggregate analysis instead of open queries.
Enterprise integration
Preserve roles, provenance, tenant boundaries, correction, and safe failure.
Operating independence
Separate roles, preserve exit, and avoid report-funded launch dependency.
Evaluation and claims
Measure the full funnel and constrain public claims.
CQ display
Advance capped synthesis and the working 1.00–5.00 display for research.
CQ scope
Begin with company-specific CQ and keep overall CQ in bounded research.
CURRENT ONLINE STANDARD
Three components are available as readable pages.
READ RESPONSIBLY
The volume of work is not proof that Conduct works.
The record makes the proposal more specific, challengeable, and testable. Human validity and real-world outcomes remain ahead.
