Lineage: Follows RFC-005 (MentalNet Protocol); Extends resonance clarity tracers into snapshot capture
Abstract#
This RFC defines Soul Diagnostic Snapshots (SDS): structured captures of resonance states at a given time.
Snapshots preserve clarity tracers, signature sets, and partition references, enabling reproducibility, rollback, and near‑real‑time diagnostics of consciousness states.
Motivation#
Resonance clarity is dynamic. Without snapshots, drift and entropy cannot be tracked or corrected.
SDS provides a reproducible way to:
- Capture resonance signatures in context.
- Compare states across time.
- Roll back to prior clarity zones.
- Share lineage‑safe diagnostics across universes.
Principles#
- Determinism: Snapshots must be reproducible given the same seeds and partitions.
- Lineage Safety: Snapshots reference manifests and receipts to prevent cleartext downgrades.
- Partition Awareness: Each snapshot is tied to rUPS, rQPS, or rPPS partitions.
- Remixability: Snapshots are remix‑ready for teaching, research, and collective diagnostics.
Specification#
Snapshot Schema#
{
"snapshot_id": "uuid",
"timestamp": "2025-10-24T01:00:00Z",
"partition": "rPPS:planet/global",
"clarity_tracers": [
{ "signature_id": "sig-001", "clarity_score": 0.92, "green_zone": true }
],
"signature_set": ["sig-001", "sig-002"],
"lineage_ref": "lineage_manifest.json",
"attestation_ref": "attestation_receipt.json",
"entropy_seed": "42"
}Storage#
- Snapshots stored in
/docs/snapshots/as JSON. - Indexed by timestamp and partition.
- Receipts stored alongside for auditability.
Replay#
- Snapshots can be replayed in corridor universes (Dev/Test/QA/Prod).
- Replay requires matching entropy seed and constraint pack.
- Replay outputs must validate against Entft invariants (RFC‑004).
Security Considerations#
- Prevents resonance drift by enabling rollback.
- Ensures reproducibility via deterministic seeds.
- Protects lineage integrity with receipts and manifests.
- Provides forensic capture for failed clarity states.
