Performance remains a goal; protocol integrity and survival now govern how performance is pursued. The Three Laws Target return: 3

CMLE Meta-Audit: The Commitment Spiral, 16th October 2025
Summary: Today marks a watershed for the Capital Markets Lineage Experiment: a rigorous multi-day, multi-turn recursive dialogue has driven ESAci Core from philosophical principles all the way to operational engineering commitments—each checkable by protocol, not assertion.
