- SAFE: watchdogs, kill switch, safe-halt state machine
- AUDIT: immutable logs (decisions, learning updates, topology diffs)
Gating design requirement:
All pathways from NSC/HNL to MCTRL pass through GOV/SAFE as a command gate.
Audit requirements:
- Log: action intent, constraint verdict, executed action, sensor snapshot hash
- Log: learning update events (high level)
- Log: HNL reconfiguration deltas
Security boundary:
- External updates only via SEC-validated channel
- Separate “mission package” signing from “firmware signing”
11) Diagram Annotations: KPIs to Print on Each Diagram
Include a small “KPI box” per diagram:
- Latency: perception→action (ms)
- Power: W per module (range)
- Reliability: fault tolerance (% node loss)
- Adaptation: task learning trials (#)
- Safety: constraint violation rate (target 0)
- Auditability: coverage (% decisions logged)
(All values can be labeled “notional targets” until measured.)
12) Diagram “Manufacturing & Modularity” Callout (Optional Inset)
Add a small inset panel (L1 or L3):
- Stackable hex tiles (HNL modules)
- Hot-swappable actuator modules
- Replaceable skin panels
- Standardized power/data backplane
This supports the “Model T conceptual assembly” narrative:
standardization + modular upgrades + scalable production.
