Behavioral Oracle
Behavioral Oracle is a conditional method for producing and appraising bounded attestations about declared intent, observed behavior, continuity, and evidence lineage. An attestation is only as strong as its authority, evidence, method, coverage, status, and claim semantics.
Use when
- a declared policy or intent must be compared with observable behavior over time;
- evidence provenance, separation of functions, continuity, or tamper evidence affects reliance; and
- the attester, subject, claim, evidence period, method, uncertainty, and status can be made explicit.
Do not infer
A valid attestation does not automatically prove hidden processing, complete behavioral coverage, causal alignment, safety, legal compliance, HEART conformity, entitlement to payment, or current HVC status. Hash chains, signatures, or external anchoring can support integrity; they do not make the underlying classification or claim true.
MAP-States, GTE, scoring, on-chain storage, settlement, or a Dwell Mark are not mandatory components. See Methods for portfolio status.
