Principles
- The Truth Stack is narrow and closed.
- Extended Systems depend on the Truth Stack; the Truth Stack never depends on them.
- Blockchain systems interoperate only through independently verified evidence and narrow receipts.
Doctrine
System Independence Doctrine
Each LockJaw system answers one class of truth and refuses to answer others. Independence is how contradictory overclaiming is prevented.
What this excludes
- No shared fallback where one system silently substitutes for another.
- No flattened marketing language that turns separate questions into one product blob.
- No integration path that creates implicit trust through adjacency alone.
