Clockless is a production-deployed cognitive system built on the CMPSBL Substrate — a deterministic governance framework for self-evolving software intelligence. The CMPSBL Substrate provides the underlying runtime architecture that enables bounded autonomy, tiered cognitive memory, formal risk quantification, and auditable self-modification. Clockless operates as a live instantiation of this substrate, demonstrating its modular design, governance constraints, and resilience engineering in production conditions. The substrate architecture consists of 21 modules organized across 6 layers, coordinating 80 execution engines and 26 meta-engines through a composable orchestration framework. All self-evolution operates within explicit safety bounds enforced by deterministic governance pipelines, regression and performance gates, composite risk scoring, and atomic rollback safeguards. This publication discloses the formal system structure, mathematical foundations, and architectural boundaries of the CMPSBL Substrate while intentionally withholding proprietary parameterizations, tuning constants, and implementation-level trade secrets. Clockless represents a deployed proof of the substrate’s capacity to deliver governed, self-improving AI systems in real-world environments.
