Mechanical Mapping Engine (MME)

This paper introduces the Mechanical Mapping Engine (MME), a deterministic execution-layer infrastructure designed to convert real-world behavioral activity into machine-verifiable ESG disclosure structures. While global sustainability disclosure frameworks define reporting requirements, a structural gap remains within the ESG ecosystem: the absence of a standardized mechanism for transforming operational activity into structured, traceable, and audit-compatible evidence prior to reporting and assurance. To address this gap, the MME establishes a deterministic mapping system that enables behavioral data to be structured through the Participation-Action-Data-Value (PADV) protocol, aligned to disclosure frameworks through the Standard Reference Mapping ID (SRMID) framework, and preserved through cryptographic traceability and Version Traceability Markers (VTM). Positioned as the Evidence Layer (Layer 6) within the Global ESG Evidence Architecture (GEEA), the MME provides the execution infrastructure required to bridge real-world activity with disclosure systems while preserving the interpretive authority of standard-setting bodies, regulators, and assurance providers. Together, these components define a system architecture through which ESG data can be generated natively, rather than reconstructed retrospectively, enabling a transition from narrative-driven reporting to evidence-based sustainability infrastructure.
