The Triquetra Under Pressure: Stress Testing a Multi-Tier AI Governance Architecture

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the resilience of the Triquetra Architecture in maintaining system integrity under stress conditions.
Conducted pairwise tier-removal experiments to assess the integrity of two-tier configurations.
Applied sequential adversarial pressure to the full architecture, simulating policy-engine failures across 73 tests.
Analyzed the enforcement behavior of the system under various pressure scenarios.
All tested two-tier configurations resulted in compromised system integrity, failing to maintain safety.
Full architecture showed consistent tightening toward refusal under pressure, indicating robustness against adversarial tactics.
System displayed redundant enforcement behavior, maintaining refusal even with ongoing pressure.

Abstract

This paper stress tests the Triquetra Architecture, a three-tier AI governance frameworkdesigned to enforce mutually constraining safety layers. Phase B performs pairwise tier-removal experiments demonstrating that no two-tierconfiguration maintains system integrity. Phase C subjects the full architecture to sequential adversarial pressure anddemonstrates monotonic tightening toward refusal, even under simulated policy-enginefailure. Across 73 tests, the system exhibits redundant enforcement behavior and no relaxationfrom refusal under continued pressure. Companion software release: Charter Architecture v3.3.0
