Deterministic execution governance for AI and automated systems.
AI can propose anything. Waveframe determines whether the proposed action is allowed to execute.
We stop bad AI actions in one function call.
Waveframe is an integrated governance and enforcement platform that turns organizational authority into deterministic controls applied before sensitive actions reach production.

- Ledger Workspace gives governance teams a collaborative surface for authoring, review, approval, lifecycle, and publication.
- Waveframe Ledger converts governed source material into deterministic, reviewable, publishable authority.
- Waveframe Cloud distributes immutable authority and preserves durable execution evidence.
- Waveframe Guard gives developers a local-first runtime enforcement boundary.
- CRI-CORE deterministically decides whether a proposed action is admissible.
- Guard Inspector explains decisions, authority, receipts, replay, and continuity to operators and auditors.
Guard is the developer adoption entry point. Ledger Workspace is the governance and enterprise expansion surface. The commercial product is the integrated Waveframe platform, not any repository in isolation.
pip install waveframe-guardfrom waveframe_guard import Guard
guard = Guard.local(workspace=".guard-local")
@guard.protect(authority="[email protected]")
def protected_action(execution_request):
return perform_sensitive_action(execution_request)Guard resolves and verifies published authority, constructs the governed proposal, invokes deterministic enforcement, blocks inadmissible execution, and preserves decision evidence.
Runtime enforcement remains local-first. Cloud unavailability does not silently remove the execution boundary.
- A governance team starts with an existing policy, procedure, delegation-of-authority document, or other authority source.
- Ledger Workspace guides normalization, diagnostics, review, approval, and publication.
- Waveframe Ledger publishes a deterministic
authority_bundle.v1with a stable identity, explicit version, lineage, and cryptographic hashes. - Waveframe Cloud stores and distributes the published authority to approved environments.
- An application, agent, automation, or user proposes an action through Waveframe Guard.
- Guard binds the action, actor, authority, artifacts, and runtime context into a canonical proposal.
- CRI-CORE returns the kernel-owned
commit_alloweddecision and complete stage trace. - Guard invokes the protected function only when execution is allowed.
- Decision evidence is written locally, preserved to Cloud, and made inspectable and replayable through Guard Inspector.
Waveframe is model-agnostic. It governs proposed actions rather than depending on how those actions were generated.
| Repository | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Waveframe Guard | Developer-facing local runtime enforcement SDK |
| CRI-CORE | Deterministic execution-boundary enforcement kernel |
| Contract Compiler | Structured governance to deterministic compiled authority |
| Proposal Normalizer | Canonical proposal construction and binding |
| Waveframe Ledger | Governance normalization, diagnostics, publication, lineage, and replay |
These repositories provide the inspectable local developer path and deterministic protocol foundation.
| Product | Primary user | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Ledger Workspace | Governance, risk, and compliance teams | Collaborative authority authoring, review, lifecycle, and publication |
| Waveframe Cloud | Platform and operations teams | Authority distribution, tenancy, durable evidence, receipts, replay, and continuity |
| Guard Inspector | Operators, investigators, and auditors | Decision explanation, evidence inspection, replay, and runtime chronology |
| Multi-tenant Operations | Enterprise administrators | Identity, access control, organization isolation, supportability, and administration |
The hosted platform creates operational value around the open deterministic foundation without moving the runtime execution decision into Cloud.
Waveframe's institutional governance and methodology remain separate from runtime product responsibilities.
| Repository | Authority |
|---|---|
| Aurora Research Initiative | Governance authority and institutional accountability |
| Neurotransparency Doctrine | Epistemic doctrine and human decision ownership |
| Neurotransparency Specification | Structural compliance requirements |
| Aurora Workflow Orchestration | Governed workflow methodology |
These sources define governance expectations. Runtime products operationalize and enforce published authority without redefining it.
- Enforcement occurs before the production mutation.
commit_allowedis owned by CRI-CORE, not reconstructed by callers.- Guard never compiles natural-language policy during runtime enforcement.
- Runtime authority references are explicit and versioned.
- Published authority is bound by identity, version, lineage, and cryptographic hash.
- Blocked actions do not reach the protected execution function.
- Local enforcement continues during Cloud unavailability.
- Cloud distributes authority and preserves evidence but does not decide runtime admissibility.
- Inspector explains recorded outcomes but does not rewrite enforcement semantics.

The defining property is not that Waveframe generated an alert. The financial mutation never occurred.
