Implements the Representation-Level Control Surfaces (RLCS) paradigm for ensuring the reliability of autonomous systems and AI models. It provides three deterministic sensors: Residual Likelihood (ResLik) for population-level anomaly detection, Temporal Consistency Sensor (TCS) for drift and shock detection, and Agreement Sensor for multi-modal redundancy checks. These sensors feed into a standardized control surface that issues 'PROCEED', 'DEFER', or 'ABSTAIN' signals based on strict safety invariants, allowing systems to detect and react to out-of-distribution states, sensor failures, and environmental shifts before they propagate to decision-making layers.
Deterministic reliability sensors operating on latent representations. This package implements the ResLik, TCS, and Agreement sensors along with a deterministic control surface.
Version: 0.1.1
The system issues standardized signals. These signals are semantic contracts, not errors.
| Signal | Meaning | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEED | High confidence | Safe to continue. |
| DEFER | Uncertainty / Drift | Not an error. Pause, inspect, log, or retry. |
| ABSTAIN | Fundamental Invalidity | Stop. Fallback to safety model. |
