Truth surface model

Six surfaces, six proof meanings.

Each surface says what it proves, what it does not prove, where it lives, what promotes it, and what blocks it.

public proof separate

hawkinsoperations-detections

What it proves: A source artifact exists and can be reviewed.
What it does not prove: Deployment, runtime behavior, signal observation, or public proof.
Promotes by: Reviewable source plus a linked validation path.
Blocked by: Missing source, unclear ownership, or unverifiable lineage.

hawkinsoperations-validation

What it proves: A deterministic validation process passed inside its stated scope.
What it does not prove: Runtime operation, public signal, or external-use authorization.
Promotes by: Stable validator output linked to the proof ledger.
Blocked by: Non-deterministic checks, missing outputs, or changed claim scope.

hawkinsoperations-platform

What it proves: A control or detection is active in a runtime environment.
What it does not prove: Signal observation, evidence linkage, or public-safe proof.
Promotes by: Current runtime evidence with a bounded trust class.
Blocked by: Private-only evidence, stale host state, or unreviewed telemetry.

running systems and validation output

What it proves: The detection produced a bounded signal in the observed context.
What it does not prove: Fleet scope, production readiness, or public-safe status.
Promotes by: Signal artifacts tied to time, source, and validation records.
Blocked by: No event record, unclear source, or non-public evidence limits.

private evidence vault and hawkinsoperations-proof

What it proves: A preserved evidence artifact supports a specific bounded claim.
What it does not prove: Claims outside the evidence boundary.
Promotes by: Explicit linkage, retention, and reviewable proof records.
Blocked by: Unpromoted data, sensitive material, or missing review linkage.

hawkinsoperations-proof and hawkinsoperations-website

What it proves: A public-facing claim has passed the required promotion boundary.
What it does not prove: Private runtime or signal claims not linked into public proof.
Promotes by: Evidence-linked proof records and claim-boundary review.
Blocked by: Blocked terms, missing promotion gates, or website-only rendering.
