Base-3 Territory (B3T): Sub-Personal Identity Governance Enforcing Balanced Ternary Logic, Autonomous Constitutional Arbitration, and Sliding-Window Merkle Continuity

Modern operating system endpoint detection and response (EDR) agents, host firewalls, and probabilistic AI security guardrails remain fundamentally constrained by Boolean binary decision logic (1 = Allow vs. 0 = Block) and compensatory additive risk scoring. When confronted with living-off-the-land (LotL) binary hijacking, in-memory heap exploitation of signed runtimes, or novel sub-personal identity delegation, binary classifiers suffer from the Binary Forced-Guess Penalty—either permitting catastrophic post-exploitation lateral movement or triggering disruptive false-positive process terminations. This technical whitepaper introduces Base-3 Territory (B3T), a deterministic neuro-symbolic operating system governance architecture developed by VR Konstrukt Pty Ltd that operationalizes the Triangulated Cognitive Computing Architecture (REM, Australian Provisional Patent Application AU 2026905270) and the Mechanistic Multi-Node State Solver (CMS, AU 2026906087) across desktop and mobile substrates (AU 2026908791). Key Architectural & Cryptographic Contributions:1. Balanced Ternary Decision Matrix (+1, 0, -1): Replaces compensatory binary heuristics with a non-compensatory Multiplicative Triadic Law T(A, E, I, Phi) = A * E * I * Phi(A, E, I) evaluated across Physical Reality (A: Actor), Governance Reality (E: Event), and Design Reality (I: Intent), mapping deterministically to +1 ALLOW, 0 WARN + QUARANTINE (Human-in-the-Loop / RAM Thread Suspension Gate), and -1 BLOCK & REVOKED.2. Six-Part Cryptographic Behavioral Charter: Binds actor identity, path prefix, allowed domains, allowed ports, allowed IP subnet classes, and on-disk FIPS 180-4 SHA-256 binary digest into an RFC 8785 canonical JSON profile.3. Compacted Sliding-Window Merkle Chain Continuity: Prevents unbounded heap growth during continuous monitoring by retaining the immutable Genesis Root Block (#0) alongside the 249 most recent contiguous SHA-256 blocks in constant RAM, paired with a stateless detached audit verifier.4. Sealed RAM-Stream Execution: Streams governance assets directly from compiled RAM resources over local loopback (127.0.0.1) while continuously attesting the appliance's own SHA-256 image digest.5. Real-World Exploit Interception Case Studies: Demonstrates deterministic post-exploitation socket and process severance against CVE-2026-111497 (Node2Shell Brotli heap RCE breakout) and mobile overlay / accessibility service trojans.
