Propose
Agents and operators submit a change or runtime for admission.
Security is a control plane.
Raven is the Algodyne experimental security authority — the company-wide control plane for what is allowed to run. Agents can propose. Deterministic gates decide.
Evaluate
Deterministic gates check the proposal against written policy.
Decide
Admission is granted or refused. The producer does not grade the result.
Record
The decision and the evidence that justified it persist.
Experimental
What it holds
Policy, posture, and the decision of whether a change or runtime is admissible. The work of checking is not left to the team that produced the change.
What it does not claim
Raven is experimental. This page names the role. It does not rank the system against anyone else, and it does not present a finished product.
How it sits with Matrix
Matrix certifies software state. Raven certifies security admissibility. A change can be a valid successor and still be refused if it is not allowed to run.
