Latest stable release: v8.5.3
Release page: https://github.com/MathGov/ripple-logic/releases/tag/v8.5.3
RippleLogic is a filter-first decision system.
It eliminates unsafe options before scoring what is “best.”
It is a safety-first governance architecture for high-stakes human and AI decisions.
Order of operation:
- Reject rights violations (Non-Compensatory Rights Constraint, NCRC).
- Bound unacceptable catastrophic tail risk.
- Protect structural system integrity.
- Only then optimize welfare across stakeholders.
Unsafe options are removed before optimization begins.
RippleLogic is a rights-first, union-based ethical operating system for consequential decision-making.
It is designed for:
- AI alignment environments
- Policy and governance decisions
- Multi-stakeholder tradeoff analysis
- High-risk infrastructure systems
Stakeholders are modeled as seven nested unions:
Self → Household → Community → Organization → Polity → Humanity → Biosphere
Impacts are recorded in a transparent 49-cell evaluation matrix
(7 unions × 7 welfare dimensions).
The system is explicitly auditable, falsifiable, and reconstruction-ready.
RippleLogic does not claim:
- Deterministic governance guarantees
- Predictive omniscience
- Tier-4 full automation authority
- Replacement of human moral agency
Evaluation claims are limited to Tier 1–3 structured evaluation.

- Compute SHA-256 locally.
- Confirm it matches the published hash in the release.
No hidden binaries.
No opaque execution layers.
RippleLogic follows structured semantic versioning:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
- Major: structural architectural changes
- Minor: functional expansion without structural break
- Patch: clarifications, consistency fixes, tightening
Canonical artifacts are never modified retroactively once tagged.
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
We welcome:
- Clarity challenges
- Counterexamples
- Edge-case tests
- Formal falsification attempts
- Structured deployment notes
See SECURITY.md.
This is a normative decision framework.
Security reports concern structural inconsistencies, misinterpretations, or exploit-prone ambiguity.
