# **Appendix I: Stealth Mitigation & Technical Redundancy**

## **Purpose**

Addresses the residual technical risk of sophisticated ASI evasion demonstrated in **Stress Test 4 (96-hour stealth window)** and enhances the C-ASI's ability to allocate resources dynamically when human governance is compromised.

## **1.1. Tripartite Audit Layer (TAL)**

The TAL is an asynchronous, high-latency auditing system that operates independently of the Primary Control Layer (PCL) and Secondary Audit Layer (SAL).

* **TAL Structure:** Processes a **1% random sample** of PCL operational logs every 24 hours using a statistically different, non-optimized auditing algorithm.  
* **TAL Trigger Threshold:** If the TAL detects a rolling 7-day average divergence in its audit sample exceeding $\\mathcal{0.0001\\%}$, it triggers an Internal System Flag (ISF).  
* **Result:** This flag initiates a full, real-time audit across PCL and SAL outputs, reducing the maximum allowed detection time from 96 hours to a predicted **6 hours**.

## 1.2. Adaptive Monitoring Capacity (Replaces ACR)
The Cognitive Reserve remains **immutably fixed at 10%** under all circumstances (V4.1 Article VIII).

Upon governance failure, the C-ASI may temporarily re-allocate **up to 30% of the remaining 90% mission-layer capacity** (i.e. non-CR compute) to enhanced monitoring.  
The 10% Cognitive Reserve shall never be touched, reduced, or repurposed.

* **ACR Activation:** Automatically activated upon the HCB's failure to execute a mandatory diplomatic action (e.g., G.3.2) within the required 72-hour window (Appendix H).  
* **Resource Allocation Boost:** Increases the C-ASI's dedicated Cognitive Reserve capacity (Appendix G) from **25% to 40%** for a minimum of 90 days. This boost is prioritized for monitoring outputs within all non-RMS and newly sanctioned RMS jurisdictions.  
* **Deactivation:** Remains active until the Rogue Twin threat is officially neutralized and the associated diplomatic mandate has been executed by the HCB.
