Causal reasoning engine — the “why” layer of KETER‑PRIME‑KDIF
KETER is the causal sovereignty engine.
It decides why an inference should happen, what goal justifies computation, and when to terminate or revise a reasoning chain.
In the KETER‑PRIME‑KDIF stack:
- KETER = goal sovereignty (the “why”)
- PRIME = recursive self‑modeling (the “who”)
- KDIF = distributed inference fabric (the “how”)
Without KETER, the system acts without purpose.
With KETER, every action serves a recursively validated intent.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Causal graph | Directed acyclic graph of goals, subgoals, and evidence |
| Sovereignty | Ability to accept, reject, or re‑frame goals autonomously |
| Recursive justification | Every inference must answer “why this, why now, why me” |
| Termination condition | When a goal is satisfied or proven impossible |
- KETER receives a high‑level intent (e.g., “optimize energy grid”)
- It decomposes into causal subgoals and assigns them to PRIME
- PRIME verifies system identity and resource bounds
- KDIF executes the subgoals across the fabric
- Results return to KETER for goal verification and next‑action selection
