SAFE-Matter™ Admissibility Engine Specification Deterministic Governance Logic for Present-State Operational Authority

This paper defines the SAFE-Matter™ Admissibility Engine, the deterministic evidential governance mechanism responsible for determining whether operational reliance upon a life-critical system remains justified at the exact moment execution occurs.The specification establishes the operational logic underlying SAFE-Matter™ and formalises the distinction between operational capability and operational admissibility. The framework does not determine whether systems merely appear functional, connected, certified, or responsive. Instead, the engine continuously evaluates whether execution authority remains admissible through valid present-state evidence.The paper defines the governing operational boundary preceding…
