MpatiQ Constitutional State Machine
Constitutional trust-state infrastructure governing reflection, continuity, and non-reductive trust transitions.
Constitutional Excerpt
UNREFLECTED
A complete trust state without reflections. Private by default.
REFLECTED_LIGHT
Recognition anchored to witnessed conduct within a bounded context.
REFLECTED_STABLE
A state requiring multiple aligned reflections.
DORMANT
Preserved history withdrawn from active presentation without erasure.
Core Thesis
The Constitutional State Machine exists to establish the constitutional rules by which trust may be represented, preserved, and transitioned in MpatiQ. It constrains state changes, protects historical continuity, and prevents trust from becoming an optimization target. Rather than asking how trust can be maximized, the state machine asks how trust can be represented faithfully.
System Principles
Trust states are qualitative.
History should be preserved.
Dormancy is not failure.
Transitions must remain constrained.
Trust should not be optimized.
Architectural Notes
