A belief-provenance graph gated by the legality matrix

The reasoning layer. uBPG, the Universal Belief Provenance Graph, is a belief store where every edge must pass the AOML legality matrix. A blocked cell can never become a stored edge.

What it is

Beliefs in uBPG carry provenance and bridge-premise burdens; confidence propagates only along legal paths; illegal compositions are refused at write time. Implemented in Rust, it is the opening work (CIF-1) of a second series, the Convergent Intelligence Framework, that carries the architecture from language and engineering into machine belief.

Status

Pre-release, built on the still-private engineering line. Named here as roadmap.

Repository and papers are not yet public.

A hand-drawn belief-provenance graph notebook page. Five sources (a river gauge, a precipitation grid, a neighbor’s report, a five-year historical average, and an upstream dam-release log) feed dated observations into a central provisional claim that recent rain raised the river. A competing explanation, that a dam release was the primary cause, is held below it in unresolved tension, and a downstream inference about the level receding is left dashed and uncertain. A legend distinguishes sources, observations, claims, and inferences, and marks each node’s confidence as high, medium, or low.
