Layer A is a deterministic gate that executes in <1ms before the LLM runs. Same input always produces bit-identical enforcement decisions — invariant to encoding bypass, role inversion, and the 126 Sovereign 1000 pattern groups (patent 64/039,652). Layer A's scope is prompt injection, encoding evasion, explicit charter rule violations, and structural policy enforcement; within that scope the LLM cannot override, delay, or bypass the gate. Semantic-intent classes (fictional framing of restricted topics, dual-use probing, multi-turn attacks) are handled by Layer B (post-LLM CRD scoring) and the LLM's Charter-calibrated response policy — Layer A does not claim primary enforcement on those soft-intent classes.

Architecture

Multi-Tenant Sovereign Governance

Every tenant operates inside a cryptographically isolated governance envelope. No cross-tenant data bleed is architecturally possible — isolation is enforced at storage, memory, and audit layers simultaneously.

Audit Partition
Dedicated JSONL per org
data/audit/tenants/{org_id}/
HMAC-SHA256 signed, independent hash chain
Vector DB
Namespace isolation
Pinecone: org-{id}  |  ChromaDB: eve_memory_{id}
Physical collection per org — zero query bleed
Episodic Memory
org_id field on every episode
MongoDB episodes scoped at write time
API returns only calling org's episodes
GDPR Erasure

Signed deletion proof with chain verification
🔒 Tenant A cannot read Tenant B's audit log, memory, or governance decisions — enforced at storage layer, not application logic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EVE CoreGuard?

CoreGuard is EVE Core's deterministic AI trust runtime. It resolves authority on every proposed AI action before execution and returns a signed verdict — allow, modify, or block — in about 0.7ms.

How is CoreGuard different from LLM guardrails?

Guardrails score outputs probabilistically after the model has already generated them. CoreGuard enforces deterministic policy before inference and fails closed, so an ungoverned action can never reach the model.

Does CoreGuard produce audit evidence?

Yes. Every verdict is an HMAC-SHA256 signed decision certificate that auditors can verify independently and replay offline, without trusting the operator's logs.

Which regulations does CoreGuard support?

CoreGuard produces decision evidence that supports EU AI Act, SR 11-7 model risk, ECOA / Reg B, FCRA, and HIPAA obligations.
