TUS OS White Paper: Verifiable AI Decision Receipts and Domain Binding

AbstractTUS OS proposes a deterministic decision kernel that emits verifiable decision receipts: canonical JSON artifacts designed to enable independent recomputation and audit of one-step recommendations. The system emphasizes strict determinism under conformance, replayable intermediate values, and a “domain binding” contract that constrains downstream interpretation to prevent post-hoc semantic drift.
