APPENDIX B — Initial Canonical Micro-Engine Registry
B.1 Purpose
This appendix defines the initial constitutional registry of TrustGate Micro Engines.
The registry establishes the canonical execution capabilities that comprise the TrustGate assurance platform. Each Micro Engine represents a governed execution responsibility within the Canonical Execution Pipeline (CEP) and is uniquely identified by a Micro Engine Identifier (MEID) and a Canonical Managed Identifier (CMI).
The registry is normative.
Implementations may extend the registry through constitutional governance but shall not alter the semantics of registered engines.

Every registered Micro Engine shall:
- belong to exactly one Engine (EID);
- possess a unique MEID;
- possess a unique CMI;
- declare a constitutional responsibility;
- participate in CALM;
- support constitutional telemetry;
- preserve replay compatibility where applicable.
Micro Engines define execution responsibilities, not implementation technologies.

Certified implementations may declare their achieved conformance level (for example, TG-C2 Certified or TG-C4 Certified) as part of interoperability and assurance agreements.
E.15 Summary
The TrustGate Conformance Level Matrix defines a progressive constitutional maturity model for TrustGate implementations.
By distinguishing core execution, deterministic replay, federation, and constitutional intelligence capabilities, the model provides a clear roadmap for implementation, interoperability, governance, and future certification. It enables organizations to evolve from standalone constitutional assurance to fully federated, AI-assisted Constitutional Intelligence Platforms while preserving the same constitutional semantics, identity, and trust guarantees.
APPENDIX F — Reference Invariant Families

APPENDIX G — Constitutional Frameworks
G.1 Purpose
This appendix summarizes the constitutional framework family that governs the TrustGate platform.
Each framework defines one aspect of constitutional architecture, together forming a coherent model for identity, execution, assurance, persistence, replay, federation, and intelligence.
Some frameworks are normative within this specification, while others are planned for future constitutional specifications.
G.2 Constitutional Framework Family
The TrustGate architecture is governed by the following framework family.
| Framework | Name | Status | Governs |
|---|---|---|---|
| CIA | Canonical Identity Architecture | Normative | Identity, identifiers and provenance |
| CEP | Canonical Execution Pipeline | Normative | Runtime execution behaviour |

G.7 CAC — Constitutional Assurance Chain (Planned)
CAC will define the semantic progression of constitutional assurance.
Rather than describing execution order, CAC will describe how confidence accumulates through governed constitutional artifacts.
Illustrative progression:
Observe
│
▼
Validate
│
▼
Trust
│
▼
Decide
│
▼
Replay
│
▼
Attest

▼
Observe
│
▼
Assure
│
▼
Understand
│
▼
Need
│
▼
Treat
│
▼
Exchange
Primary responsibilities include:

|---|---|
| Standard | Default execution |
| High Assurance | Maximum validation and evidence |
| Real-Time | Low-latency execution |
| Batch | High-volume processing |
| Federation | Cross-ECO optimized execution |

Execution Profiles may optimize execution but shall never alter constitutional semantics.
G.11 Framework Relationships
The constitutional frameworks complement one another.
| Framework | Primary Question |
|---|---|
| CIA | Who or what is this? |
| CEP | How is it executed? |
| CALM | How does it evolve? |
| CPA | How is it persisted? |
| CAC | Why is it trustworthy? |
| CRA | How is it reconstructed? |
| CIL | How does it become intelligence? |

G.13 Future Evolution
Additional constitutional frameworks may be introduced through governed architectural evolution.
Potential future frameworks include:
- CKG — Constitutional Knowledge Graph

Future frameworks shall extend the constitutional architecture while preserving compatibility with existing framework definitions.
G.14 Summary
The Constitutional Framework Family defines the architectural foundation of the TrustGate platform.
By separating identity (CIA), execution (CEP), lifecycle (CALM), persistence (CPA), assurance (CAC), replay (CRA), intelligence (CIL), and execution profiles (XPID), the framework family provides a modular yet cohesive constitutional architecture. This separation of concerns enables TrustGate to evolve from a validation engine into a fully governed Constitutional Intelligence Platform while preserving deterministic behaviour, explainability, replayability, and federation compatibility.
