Provenance Dashboard
Provenance 7/7 — full signed chain from content hash to witnessed braid. Ed25519 signatures on Linux (ZFS) and Windows.
Validated on live hardware — westGate (Linux/ZFS) and ironGate (Windows). 5th consecutive E2E pass. Provenance 7/7 COMPLETE.
The 7-Step Chain
Every scientific artifact produced by NUCLEUS carries a cryptographic provenance chain. Each step is independently verifiable:
| Step | Primal | What It Does | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Content hash | rhizoCrypt | BLAKE3 hash of raw artifact | LIVE |
| 2. DAG insertion | rhizoCrypt | Content-addressed DAG node with parent links | LIVE |
| 3. Session commit | rhizoCrypt | DAG session sealed with Merkle root | LIVE |
| 4. Ledger write | loamSpine | Permanent append-only ledger entry | LIVE |
| 5. Attribution | sweetGrass | DID-based authorship + contribution record | LIVE |
| 6. Witness | sweetGrass | Ed25519 signature on the full chain | LIVE |
| 7. Braid | sweetGrass | PROV-O compliant witnessed braid | LIVE |
Cross-Platform Validation
The provenance pipeline has been validated end-to-end on:
- Linux (ZFS): westGate — 3,256 CAS objects, ZFS snapshots as backup layer
- Windows: ironGate — full chain validated, same Ed25519 keys
- 5th consecutive pass: Zero regressions across 5 sequential validation runs
What This Proves
The provenance chain means every scientific result produced by NUCLEUS can answer:
- What was computed (BLAKE3 content hash)
- When it was computed (DAG session timestamp)
- Where it was stored (ledger entry with storage backend)
- Who produced it (DID attribution)
- How it was verified (Ed25519 witness signature)
This is the same chain whether the computation runs on westGate (Linux), ironGate (Windows), or sandGate (Android). The provenance is platform-independent.
