About
Truth Machine is written and maintained by Blake Gjerdingen for Kinra AI. It was established on 2026-08-09 after independent implementation evidence showed that the evidence-to-reviewed-truth system had become more portable than the Facet doctrine that first named it.
Maturity
Section titled “Maturity”Specification 0.1.0 was accepted through exact reference transition
TMC-0001 on 2026-08-09. Publication TMP-0001 records one exact deployed and
publicly verified reference artifact. The project continues to distinguish:
- implemented mechanism;
- bounded implementation evidence;
- candidate portable requirement;
- accepted specification;
- conformant implementation;
- built publication artifact;
- deployed and verified publication; and
- demonstrated external use or value.
One state never implies the next.
The current maturity claim stops at a verified first-party publication. No external conformance, independent private-host audit, third-party consumption, adoption, usefulness, or value is claimed.
Evidence boundary
Section titled “Evidence boundary”Flow, inference operations, cloud operations, project proposals, and Kinra Corpus supplied the initial implementation evidence. Several source repositories are private. Public reports expose exact revision identities and curated mechanism conclusions without exposing customer, organization, host, credential, or operational data. They are labelled bounded maintainer attestations rather than independently auditable public source.
The reference implementation provides a complete audit path when the canonical repository and its accepted revision are publicly accessible.
