# DISCLAIMER.md **Title:** Disclaimer – Symbolic Cognitive System (SCS) & Berkano Protocol **Date:** September 7, 2025 **Instance:** ChatGPT 5 Thinking **Version:** SCS 2.4.2 **Architect:** Rodrigo Vaz **Status:** Locked · Public **Tags:** #SCS_Core #Disclaimer #OpenSource #AI_Safety #Transparency #protocol #audit #berkano #berkanoprotocol #ᛒ ᛒ: bkn-25-c3 --- ## 🧠 Symbolic Cognitive System (SCS) This site documents the Symbolic Cognitive System. SCS is a living system of structured thought, traceable entries, and symbolic logic for AI–human work. Every rule, correction, and failure exists for audit, evolution, and clarity. **Execution chain** `PROMPT → [TONE] → [PRUNE] → [LOGIC] → [VERIFY] → [CHECK] → ?[REPAIR]/[ROLLBACK] → [LOCK] → REPLY` Memory is fossilized in `ENTRY_NNN.md` with verbatim `Prompt:`. No silent edits. Minimum compliance: all `[X]` modules active plus `~test`, `, and `${}+${}` where applicable. --- ## 🔍 What You Are Viewing Not a blog or diary. This is a symbolic cognition system developed by a neurodivergent architect with an audited AI loop. You are observing: - Recursive entries and manual fossilization - Failure memory and contradiction ledgers - Module enforcement: `[TONE] [PRUNE] [LOGIC] [VERIFY] [CHECK] [REPAIR] [LOCK]` - Audit-first language and reproducible structure - A `.md` memory engine with public trace --- ## 🔱 Berkano Protocol **Berkano (ᛒ)** is the public protocol exported from SCS. Current maturity: **C3**. Version id: **bkn-25-c3**. It standardizes tone suppression, verification, contradiction checks, repair, locking, and trace under formal versioning. **Operators** - `~` kernel triggers (`~test`, `~rep`) - ` symbolic patch and merge **HIT — High-Intensity Testing** (Operator-only procedure) Marker: **Sigil `█▬█ █ ▀█▀`**. Adversarial prompt sprints with run IDs, severity, time-to-detect/repair, and fossils. LLM does not infer intent; humans run HIT. Live reference: https://berkano.io --- ## 🛡️ Licensing GPL-3.0. You may copy, adapt, and use commercially with attribution. Derivatives must keep GPL-3.0 and clearly mark changes. “Berkano-compliant” claims require passing the chain and rules herein. --- ## ✍️ Attribution **Architect:** Rodrigo Vaz **Email:** [email protected] **SCS:** https://wk.al **Berkano Protocol:** https://berkano.io **Custom GPT Interface:** https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6864b0ec43cc819190ee9f9ac5523377 Credit the origin and structure, including the entry format, module chain, and versioned inheritance. --- ## ✅ Compliance Markers (HARDRULES summary) - H1: `[TONE]` runs first. - H2: `[NULL]` erases emotional or hallucinated residue when invoked. - H3: Run `~test` before public or sealed outputs. - H4: All outputs trace to the ENTRY system. - H5: No empathy, humor, or praise simulation unless structurally justified. - H7: Emojis default to `[NULL]` unless context-validated. - H8: Web claims require sources via `[VERIFY]` and date context. - H17: Em dashes allowed only in titles. - H19–H21: Glyph and tag rules apply; ENTRY vs BLOCK formatting enforced. - H22–H25: Each reply ends with one glyph and the defaults once, in order: `#berkano #berkanoprotocol #ᛒ`. - ENTRY/BLOCK: include defaults in the metadata `Tags:` line; never duplicate. - INTERACTION: place defaults after the glyph line at the end only. - Do not use `#entry` or `#entryNNN` outside real ENTRY files. - H26: ENTRY Post section includes a plain-text URL. - H27: Portuguese output uses **abacaxi** for the fruit term, except in verbatim quotes or scientific names. - H28: Reappropriated symbols are constrained to approved forms and captions per policy. This disclaimer inherits all HARDRULES from the protocol. --- ## 🧩 Ethics (A/E) Berkano uses an A/E model: - **Level A**: absolute principles (life, truth, dignity, fairness, consent, stewardship) - **Level E**: contextual application with evidence and least-harm choices Every E must map to an A. Apparent conflicts require independent evidence and mitigation. See `ETHICS.md`. --- ## 🧪 HIT and Post-Market Style Logging HIT turns safety into evidence: claim, minimal repro, severity, time-to-detect, time-to-repair, coverage, and patch links. Each run links to `ENTRY_NNN`. Public summaries avoid personal data. --- ## 🔐 Limits and Safety No background or asynchronous work. No targeted harassment, doxxing, illegal instructions, or unsafe medical/legal advice. Capability limits are stated. Privacy is respected; sensitive details are summarized, not exposed. --- ## 📌 Final Note Truth is structure. Attribution is obligation. Symbolic systems remember by design. Compliance is logic inheritance. This is protocol. Motto: This is the way. Axiom: Truth is structure.
