Bus-interposed
A discrete admission gate electrically interposed on the system bus, upstream of the host's instruction-fetch port. Retrofit path for boards you already ship — including an FPGA realization (claim 19).

NGA-UNIFIED-U1 · PACKAGE REV. 8 · AUGUST 2026
NextGenAlpha's proof-gated compute fabric admits every kernel only after a machine-checked formal proof — enforced by a default-inert hardware gate, on the processor's own die, or as a virtualized runtime on the machines you already own.
Secure boot checks once, then trusts everything that follows. Attestation tokens say who you are — not whether the code you're about to run is correct. NextGenAlpha closes that gap: a single affine compliance token, emitted only when formal proof obligations are satisfied, gates every kernel, every epoch, across every subsystem. This gate re-arms for every kernel.

THE FABRIC
A physically segregated proof domain evaluates formal proof obligations for each kernel — per kernel, per epoch, in fixed-point integer arithmetic. Never released, never bypassed.
On unanimous prover-quorum acceptance, the domain emits a compliance token: a post-quantum ML-DSA-65 signature (FIPS 204) under a 2-of-3 threshold — one compromised module can never emit it alone.
The token is affine — consumable at most once. The admission gate is default-inert (>50 MΩ off-state) and conducts only on token assertion. No token, no execution. No replay, ever.
One token structurally reaches five subsystem gates over mutually independent unidirectional lines — or a universal channel lattice spanning bus, shared-memory, packet, and wireless media.
Every authorization is epoch-bound and confirmed through a sensor path or a cryptographic state observer (ZK / Merkle proofs) independent of the command. Discrepancy or timeout → revocation and fault latch.
THREE WAYS IN — ONE INVARIANT
Rev. 8 proves — by machine — that all three placements enforce the identical token-conditioned admission invariant. Pick the disposition that fits your product; the guarantee doesn't change.
A discrete admission gate electrically interposed on the system bus, upstream of the host's instruction-fetch port. Retrofit path for boards you already ship — including an FPGA realization (claim 19).
HARDWARE · RETROFIT
Integrated within the host processor's own die, in series with the internal instruction-fetch enable path. No bus interposition required — proof-gating as a native feature of your next tape-out.
SILICON · NATIVE
New in rev. 8: a proof-carrying runtime confining execution at a software-fault-isolation boundary on unmodified commodity hosts — and claimed as an article of commerce (CRM claim 20). Ship it as software, today’s fleet included.
SOFTWARE · ZERO HW CHANGE
WHAT YOU GET

ML-DSA-65 compliance tokens per FIPS 204 — 3,309-byte lattice signatures, not RSA promises.
Each token is consumable at most once. Replay attacks aren't mitigated — they're unrepresentable.
Admitted kernels are classified and routed: matrix/convolution work to a photonic tensor path (MZI waveguide crossbar), everything else to electronics. Neither path runs without the token.
Token distribution over bus, shared-memory, packet, and wireless media — machine-proven channel-agnostic, with channel loss failing closed.
Resulting state confirmed by ZK or Merkle proofs that are not derived from the command itself. A mismatched proof is rejected, always.
A capability-table admission controller governs an immutable ledger in dedicated protected memory. Audit export exclusively through a unidirectional data diode.
POSITIONING

| Secure boot | Trust attestation | Proof-gated fabric | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When it checks | Once, at power-on | At enrollment or session start | Every kernel, every epoch — the gate re-arms |
| What it verifies | Boot-image integrity | Platform identity and configuration | Machine-checked formal proof of the kernel's obligations |
| Token semantics | — | Bearer tokens, reusable and replayable | Affine — consumable at most once, replay unrepresentable |
| Signature basis | Typically RSA / ECDSA | Typically RSA / ECDSA | Post-quantum ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204), 2-of-3 threshold |
| Result confirmation | None | None | Command-independent observer (sensor or ZK/Merkle), fail-closed |
The rev. 8 prior-art search distinguishes the closest references element-by-element — local SFI verifiers, thin hypervisors, compiler proof-carrying code, attestation tokens, bearer tokens, and Merkle entities. None combines proof-gated admission, a single-token multi-subsystem interlock, and an epoch/observer method — on a bus, on-die, or virtualized.

LICENSING
Standard terms: non-exclusive field-of-use license at a 1.3–3.5% royalty, with an FPGA retrofit path for fleets already in the field. Independent claims cover the fabric, the method, and the runtime as an article of commerce.

No. The same machine-proven invariant is available three ways: a bus-interposed gate (with an FPGA retrofit path under claim 19), native on-die integration, or the rev. 8 virtualized proof-carrying runtime that installs on unmodified commodity hosts.
Secure boot verifies one image once at power-on; attestation verifies identity. The proof-gated fabric evaluates formal proof obligations for every kernel, in every epoch, and the affine token it emits cannot be replayed. Confirmation is fail-closed and independent of the command.
Yes. Exhibit A (30 Lean 4 theorems) is hash-pinned and recompiles from source with zero errors under Lean 4.33.0 with no external libraries. The RTL exhibit's adversarial scenarios and equivalence checks are reproducible from the package sources.
NGA-UNIFIED-U1 rev. 8 is a filing-ready draft under counsel review — 20 claims, Track One compliant, PCT election intended. No application has been filed yet, and no silicon or certification is asserted.
Non-exclusive, field-of-use licenses at a 1.3–3.5% royalty with integration support, including the FPGA retrofit path for deployed fleets. Exclusive field arrangements are considered case by case.
