Verified Conscience by Design provenance
EthosGate uses a versioned provenance registry to identify the canonical machine-readable GitHub source, pinned commit, exact paths, SHA-256 hashes, source sections, and verified metadata for the stored import workflow. This page describes that registry; it does not claim complete corpus ingestion, peer review, certification, or scientific validation.
Research hierarchy
Conscience by Design is the parent research initiative and corpus foundation.
Machine Conscience is the architecture created by Aleksandar Rodić.
Rodić Principle is the axiomatic and mathematical foundation.
Conscience Layer is the supervisory computational concept.
EthosGate is the operational software product.
