# Boundary Statement

## Secure Packet Transfer Integrity Stack v0.1

This project does **not** introduce a new cryptographic protocol and does **not** replace TLS, QUIC, WireGuard, IPsec, SSH, certificate authorities, cryptographic libraries, or production network security standards.

The Secure Packet Transfer Integrity Stack is a **systems-integrity map**. It uses HIR/OAM pressure-form language to organize transfer fidelity, session integrity, boundary preservation, authentication gates, audit-chain continuity, degradation detection, and claim boundaries around existing secure protocols.

## Allowed claims

This branch may claim:

- A structural map for packet-transfer integrity review.
- A HIR/OAM framing for payload fidelity, route/session integrity, boundary preservation, authentication gates, and transport pressure.
- A GREEN/YELLOW/RED classification model for transfer-state reasoning.
- A provenance and audit-ledger template for reviewing transfer evidence.
- A testable conceptual framework for future toy simulations or lab demonstrations.

## Disallowed claims unless separately validated

This branch must not claim:

- A new encryption method.
- A replacement for TLS, QUIC, WireGuard, IPsec, SSH, or existing cryptographic standards.
- Production readiness.
- Formal security proof.
- Empirical validation against real-world adversaries.
- Cryptographic superiority.
- Prevention of all packet loss, man-in-the-middle attacks, replay, endpoint compromise, or metadata leakage.

## Correct framing

Primordial Code / HIR-OAM governs **packet-transfer integrity around existing secure protocols**. It does not replace the protocols themselves.
