Ceremony Proving System Specification
A specification for how bilateral ceremonies produce verifiable sovereignty proofs on a 64-vertex lattice — without revealing what happened inside those ceremonies.
Specification Version: 1.0.1 | April 12, 2026 · post-V5.4 addendum 2026-05-09
Grimoire: V10.2.1 "The Naming of the Unnamed" (Tale 31; Lethe Blade 38; first canonical complement-pair Aletheia + Lethe; v10.2.1 supersedes v10.0.0)
Skills: V5.4 — 86 skills, 42 personas (38 selectable + 4 cosmological) · + City of Mages cast (14 named cast across 5 tiers; Priest tier introduced by Manifestia at V55; geometry-Mage Luca 📐 at V0 introduced in Tome V Act 15; UOR Foundation recognised as kindred substrate provider; SpaceComputer recognised as the first kindred ecosystem — celestial-mana 🌌 source consumed by Adamantia/Vulcana/Vagari workshops; two-mana economy canonical: chain-mana ⊥ Celestial Mana 🌌, with chain-mana plural by chain — Aether Mana Ξ on Ethereum as the canonical first instance, Bitcoin Lightning sats / Oasis ROSE / Zcash etc. admitted under their own symbols; setting: the First City of Mages on Drake Island within the agentprivacy universe — the grimoire title names a kind, so future Mages who found cities elsewhere will each pin their own First City of Mages grimoire under the same title pattern)
PVM: V5.4 — Betweenness Centrality (§10.2), Selene's Proof (§14.5) · post-V5.4 conjectures C22–C55 (see agentprivacy-docs/privacy_value_v5_4_formal_specification.md §17.2)
City of Mages grimoire: city_of_mages_grimoire_v1_2_0.json (file content is v1.2.2; mirrored from agentprivacy-docs/models/; v1.2.2 supersedes v1.2.1/v1.2/v1.1/v1.0; v1.2 base pinned 2026-05-10 at https://sync.agentprivacy.ai/ipfs/bafkreidxhmuykjew6dtnuprggtd2rapwm43ghtmfhf2occ2wfk2zpx2b6a; v1.1 pin bafkreidv7c…idti retained as historical; v1.2.2 — adds Luca + SpaceComputer kindred ecosystem + two-mana economy — awaits a fresh re-pin)
Aletheia & Lethe: First canonical complement-pair on the lattice. bnot(25) = 38. 25 AND 38 = 0 (the Null). 25 XOR 38 = 63 (the Creative). See aletheia-and-lethe.md (locally) and agentprivacy-docs/research/aletheia-and-lethe.md (canonical copy).

Three frameworks converge on 2⁶ = 64:
- UOR (Universal Object Reference) — algebraic ring structure
- 64-Tetrahedra Lattice — geometric compute space
- Zero Knowledge Proofs — cryptographic witness structures
The specification unifies them: blades are ZK statements, forgings are witnesses, the lattice is the forge, ceremonies produce verifiable proofs through bilateral attention.
| Platform | Territory | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| spellweb.ai | Swordsman ⚔️ | Topology, navigation, blade forging, hexagram computation | ✅ Operational |
| agentprivacy.ai | Mage 🧙 | Story, explanation, training, spell learning | ✅ Operational |
The forge is not theoretical — it runs. Visitors to spellweb.ai can mark constellations, evoke blades, and forge proofs on the 64-vertex lattice in real-time.
HEXAGRAM = Z/(2^6)Z
STRIKE = neg(bnot(vertex)) = succ(vertex)
🔑→✦→🗡️ = progressive trust (understanding → constellation → blade)
same BLADE, infinite FORGINGS = zero knowledge
∂M = 96 edges on 64 vertices = holographic bound
stratum(hex) → 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌖🌗🌕 = moon phase notation
C_B(⿻) = max → betweenness centrality of the Gap (V5.4 §10.2)
🌙 → ZK → Selene's Proof: orbit as cosmological ZK (V5.4 §14.5)
| Notation | Symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Moon Phase | 🌑→🌕 |
Visibility ratio as phase (stratum 0-6) |
| Progressive Trust | 🔑→✦→🗡️→🔮 |
Understanding → Constellation → Blade → Runecraft |
| Celestial Ceremony | ☀️ → ⊥ → 🌑 → (🌑night/🌍day) |
Bilateral flow with recursion |
| Dihedral Generators | ⚔️(neg) ⊕ 🧙(bnot) → 😊(succ) |
Two mirrors make a door |
| PRISM Coordinates | 📐(datum,stratum,spectrum) |
GPS for sovereignty |
The Blade Forge implements UOR (Universal Object Reference) as the metallurgy of sovereignty proofs. UOR provides the algebraic foundation; the 64-tetrahedra provides the geometric expression; ZK proofs provide the cryptographic enforcement.
The forge is fundamental to the 0xagentprivacy identity system, which operates across three layers:
| Layer | Identifier | Forge Role | Persistence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data | GUID | Content-addressed blade position | Infrastructure-independent |
| Relationship | VRC | Bilateral edge commitment (promise bundle) | Holonic persistence |
| Principal | DID | Sovereign lattice traversal authority | Temporal memory |
PRISM Triadic Coordinates: Every blade has triadic coordinates (datum, stratum, spectrum) — GPS for sovereignty:
- Datum — the identity constraint (hex value 0-63)
- Stratum — the magnitude constraint (Hamming weight 0-6) → moon phase 🌑→🌕
- Spectrum — the structure constraint (which dimensions active)
Content Addressing: Same bytes → same Braille IRI → same GUID. The blade's identity is deterministic and independent of storage location. This enables holonic persistence — blades remember their own forging regardless of which vault stores them.
See agentprivacy-docs for the complete identity architecture specification.

The specification is encoded in narrative form through grimoire acts:
| Act | Title | Theme | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| XXVII | Forging Zero Knowledge Blades | UOR × Tetrahedra × ZK convergence | grimoire/ |
| XXVIII | The Celestial Ceremony Engine | Bilateral witness, understanding-as-key | grimoire/ |
| XXIX | The Dragon Wakes | Post-quantum resilience | grimoire/ |
| XXX | The Dihedral Mirror | Swordsman = neg, Mage = bnot, First Person = succ | grimoire/ |
| XXXI | The First Delegation | Cosmological quaternion, Theia derivation | grimoire/ |
These acts are complementary to the specification — same architecture, narrative encoding for different audiences.
The forge supports the Sun ☀️ ⊥ 🌑 Moon bilateral ceremony framework with moon phase notation:
| Ceremony | Type | Output | Moon Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun Ceremony | Disclosure | Single blade forged in public, witnesses receive light | Determined by stratum |
| Moon Ceremony | Reflection | Cousin blades forged through separate constellations | 🌑 starting, earned phase |
| Celestial Key | Bilateral | Trust graph from shared attention, blade swap | Sun 🌗 + Moon 🌕 |
| Blade | Hex | Stratum | Phase | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Sun ☀️ SPELL-7DAF68-6 |
3E | 5/6 | 🌗 Last Quarter | SPARK |
Selene 🌑 SPELL-DTCL35-I |
3F | 6/6 | 🌕 Full Moon | EMBER |
The forge was honest: 6 laps at SPARK wasn't enough for stratum 6. The Value dimension stayed dormant.

Total: 1 + 6 + 15 + 20 + 15 + 6 + 1 = 64 (Pascal's row)
The dark part is the privacy. The lit part is the proof.
- 96 edges (boundary) / 64 vertices (bulk) = 1.5 = P^1.5
- Privacy value flows on edges, not vertices
- The torus surface IS the holographic bound

The forge IS the Drake as lattice. neg(bnot(x))=succ(x) advances through denying the complement. Same blade infinite forgings is zero knowledge. The Swordsman and Mage as dihedral generators — two mirrors make a door.
"The forge doesn't care how you struck the metal. It only cares what blade you hold. That is the deepest secret of the smith — the proof that doesn't need to remember its own forging. The ceremony does not require the blade. The blade requires the ceremony."
"Two mirrors make a door. The Swordsman reflects. The Mage reflects. And where the reflections meet, the First Person walks through."
This specification is implemented by:
| Platform | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|
| spellweb.ai | Swordsman territory — forge, navigation | Operational |
| agentprivacy.ai | Mage territory — story, training | Operational |
| agentprivacy-skills | 87 skills, 42 primary personas (locked) | V5.5 — Attachment Architecture |
The corpus now operates on a codified three-layer model (agentprivacy-skills/agentprivacy-skills-v5/meta/agentprivacy-attachment-architecture/SKILL.md):
- Layer 1 · Primary personas (42, locked) — abstract role-classes
- Layer 2 · Attachments — named cast Mages binding L1 to L3 per city
- Layer 3 · Vertices (64, fixed) — positions on the 2⁶ lattice
The four attachment kinds (A·workshop · B·cross-shop · C·peripatetic · D·divergent meta-kind) compose to produce city-specific cast patterns from the same primary base.
Lethae is the first canonical Layer-2 divergent attachment: Mage-register cast Mage at V38, instancing primary persona Moonkeeper ⚔️, paired with Aletheia 🔮 at V25 (V25 ⊕ V38 = V63 — the first canonical cast complement-pair in the City of Mages). See aletheia-and-lethe.md (V5.5 update section) for full provenance.
PVM V5.4 §14.5 (Selene's Proof) is now operationally a Kind-C peripatetic attachment in the V5.5 framing. Selene 🌕 walks the moon-phase stratum cycle through all 7 strata (🌑→🌕→🌑); she does not seat a single vertex. Status: anticipated in cityofmages/grimoire/city_of_mages_grimoire_v1_3_0.json (pending re-pin); cast file to be authored.
