TLHO (Patent pending) is a formal substrate designed to verify the structural integrity of a judgment rather than the semantic truth of its content. In an era of probabilistic AI and "black-box" decision-making, TLHO provides a strictly deterministic, contentless framework for high-stakes verification.
The Problem:
Most validation systems rely on domain knowledge or probability. This introduces "gray zones" where it is unclear if all requirements were met, or if the system simply "hallucinated" a high confidence score.
The Approach:
TLHO operates strictly at the meta-level. It doesn't know what is "true"; it only knows if a judgment is formally valid based on a 5-component tuple:
TLHO = < S, O, W, C, TCB >
* S (Specification): Closed description of the subject.
* O (OutCore): Binary criterion (VALID/INVALID).
* W (Witness): Finite evidence covering S.
* C (Checker): Deterministic verifier.
* TCB (Trusted Computing Base): Cryptographically anchored minimal trust base.
Key Technical Pillars:
* Fail-Closed Semantics: Any missing element or hash mismatch results in an INVALID state. No partial success.
* Delta-Analysis: Uncertainty is modeled as incompleteness. Instead of a score, TLHO returns a finite list of missing requirements: Delta = {Required} - {Provided}.
* Byte-Reproducibility: We use canonical JSON encoding and prefix-free framing) to ensure judgments are audit-stable and verifiable down to the byte.
* Implementation Independence: To ensure integrity, we develop independent checkers that must reach the same out_hash without sharing code.
Formal Assurance:
We are moving toward machine-checked proofs for the core logic:
* Coq/Lean: Proving fail-closed behavior and checker totality.
* TLA+: Modeling the verification pipeline and safety invariants.
Why I’m sharing this:
I’m looking for feedback from the community, I want to go public soon, and wonder if there are any experts who can help us out. It will be an open-core licensing, commercial use needs licence (contact: tlho-enterprises@protonmail.com).
I trully believe TLHO is the last missing layer for the digital era.
TLHO is right on time or even maybe a bit too early. This is a opportunity for early birds, and the people who really see the paradigm shift. It changes from “trust us” to “verify us”. TLHO can be wrapped and is universal, domain agnostic, healthcare, law, finance, governance and even quantum computing.. TLHO is extremely lightweight and with split responsibility it can be put on sensors and IoT. It will change the audit world, reconstructions can be done in seconds, in stead of months. Selfdriving cars, robots, and all critical softwares will need TLHO for a safe future.
This is an once in a lifetime opportunity. And we would appreciate all the help we can get. For any questions please ask as many as possible. And be as critical as possible. Dont trust words, trust the math.
Love, TLHO
