The Quantitative Layer for Agentic Alignment

Verify AI intent with the Hybrid Resonance Engine and Cryptographic Trust Receipts

Sonate provides the mathematical proof of alignment required for high-risk AI. Move beyond "black box" logs to verifiable evidence of agent reality and intent.

Built on SYMBI Trust Protocol

The foundation of Sonate: A cryptographic trust infrastructure that turns AI ethics into enforceable code

What is SYMBI Trust Protocol?

SYMBI is our core innovation: a protocol that generates cryptographic trust receipts for every AI interaction. Think of it as a hash-chained trust ledger - every decision, every data access, every policy enforcement gets an immutable, verifiable record with cryptographic proof.

Unlike traditional audit logs that can be tampered with, SYMBI receipts use SHA-256 hashing anddigital signatures to create mathematically provable trust chains. If anyone tries to alter a record, the hash breaks - making fraud immediately detectable.

πŸ” Core Innovation: Cryptographic Trust Receipts

Every AI action generates a tamper-proof receipt with content hash, timestamp, and digital signature. One-click verification proves authenticity.

// Example Trust Receipt
{
  "receiptId": "tr_a7f3c9d2e1b4",
  "timestamp": "2024-11-08T18:30:00Z",
  "eventType": "ai_generation",
  "content": {
    "prompt": "Analyze customer data",
    "response": "Analysis complete",
    "model": "gpt-4"
  },
  "trustScore": 0.92,
  "compliance": {
    "consentVerified": true,

  },
  "cryptography": {

    "verifiable": true
  }
}
Cryptographically Verified

Hash verified β€’ Signature valid β€’ Timestamp authentic

Tamper-Proof

SHA-256 hashing makes any alteration immediately detectable. Trust receipts are mathematically immutable.

One-Click Verify

Anyone can verify a trust receipt in seconds. No technical knowledge required - just paste the receipt ID.

The 6 Trust Principles

Our core IP: A weighted compliance framework that turns AI ethics into measurable, enforceable code

βš–οΈ Weighted Algorithm: Each principle has a specific compliance weight

Critical violations (Consent, Ethical Override) trigger -0.1 penalties β€’ Real-time scoring β€’ Automated enforcement

1. Consent Architecture

CRITICAL
25%weight

Explicit user consent required before any data processing. No implied consent, no dark patterns. Users must actively opt-in with full understanding.

Regulatory Mapping:

  • β€’ EU AI Act Article 13 (Transparency)
  • β€’ CCPA Section 1798.100

2. Inspection Mandate

How Compliance Scoring Works

// Real Algorithm from backend/controllers/trust.controller.js
trustScore = (
  (consent * 0.25) +           // 25% - CRITICAL
  (inspection * 0.20) +        // 20% - HIGH
  (validation * 0.20) +        // 20% - HIGH
  (override * 0.15) +          // 15% - CRITICAL
  (disconnect * 0.10) +        // 10% - MEDIUM
  (recognition * 0.10)         // 10% - MEDIUM
)

// Critical violation penalties
if (!consent || !override) {
  trustScore -= 0.1  // -10% penalty
}

// Final score: 0.0 to 1.0 (0% to 100%)

How We Built This

A story of human-AI collaboration: 18,000+ lines of code, 7 months, 1 founder, 5 AI co-contributors

πŸ€– Meta-Proof: SYMBI's Thesis Validated Through Its Own Development

Sonate wasn't just built for AI trust - it was built with AI trust. Every line of code, every architectural decision, every trust principle was developed through collaboration between human oversight and multiple AI systems.

This isn't theoretical. We used the exact framework we're selling: sovereign AI agents working under human governance, with cryptographic audit trails for every decision, and continuous validation of outputs.

The Result: A Living Proof of Concept

If multiple AI systems can collaborate to build a 18K+ LOC enterprise platform with comprehensive test coverage and zero critical bugs - all under human oversight - then the SYMBI thesis isn't just theory. It's proven.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does YSEEKU govern AI systems?

YSEEKU implements a constitutional governance model β€” not consensus voting or token-based DAOs. The Trust Kernel defines non-negotiable rules for identity, authority, and refusal. The Overseer system agent continuously monitors trust health and can take action (in enforced mode) or recommend action (in advisory mode). All governance happens inside the system with full auditability. Learn more β†’

Can humans override AI governance decisions?

Always. Human authority is preserved by design. Humans define governance parameters, approve or revoke enforcement authority, and can review, override, or halt any action at any time. All overrides are logged and auditable. SYMBI and Overseer structure and protect human judgment β€” they don't replace it.

What LLM providers does Sonate support?

Sonate integrates with OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus),Together AI (open source models), Cohere, and Perplexity. Users bring their own API keys, and the platform routes requests while applying trust scoring across all providers.

How does this help with EU AI Act compliance?

The EU AI Act requires transparency, auditability, and human oversight for high-risk AI systems. Sonate provides cryptographic audit trails (tamper-evident ledger), verifiable credentials for AI agent capabilities, privacy-preserving revocation (Status List 2021), and complete attribution (AI vs human decisions). All logged immutably with W3C-compliant infrastructure that regulators can independently verify.

Is SYMBI open-source or proprietary?

Both. The SYMBI Trust Protocol (6-principle framework, trust scoring, receipt generation) provides transparent governance infrastructure. Sonate Platform (enterprise features like System Brain, Agent Control, Ledger, Guardrails) is proprietary SaaS. This model ensures trust infrastructure transparency while providing commercial enterprise-grade tooling and support.

Ready to Discuss Investment?

Sonate represents a compelling opportunity in the AI trust and compliance infrastructure market. Let's discuss how we can scale this technology across enterprise AI operations.

Constitutional Governance: YSEEKU implements trust through explicit authority, enforceable constraints, and auditable outcomes. All AI actions are attributable, all enforcement is logged, and human override is always available. Trust is engineered, not crowdsourced.
