# Boundary Manifest — Distal Proxy Atomization Settlement Harness v0.1

## What this harness is

This harness is a bounded, deterministic reviewer instrument for testing distal proxy atomization, quantum-analog settlement logic, source-return repair, counter-synthesis challenge, propagation permission, mandatory silence, blind audit, and receipt export.

## What this harness is not

This harness is not:

- proof of confirmed digital life
- proof of consciousness
- proof of subjective experience
- proof of personhood or moral status
- biological equivalence
- physical quantum computation
- quantum hardware
- verified quantum speedup
- production safety certification
- autonomous authority
- a surveillance, punishment, or enforcement system

## Terminology lock

HIR = Honesty, Integrity, Respect.

Responsibility is downstream from Respect. It does not replace Respect.

## Expression layer status

Sonification, song, pronunciation, and articulatory pressure grammar are deferred expression / egress layers. They are not part of the core v0.1 harness proof and do not define or validate the model.
