Summary (LOCK)

FinanceOS is the coordination layer that converts uncertain signals into controlled decisions under time pressure, using registers, sensors, verification circuits, and truncation/stitching controls to prevent narrative drift.

FinanceOS is not “markets”.
FinanceOS is not “prices”.
FinanceOS is the decision pipeline between reality and action.

What FinanceOS is (one sentence)

FinanceOS turns Signals → Phase-stamped Claims → Bounded Actions (or Blocks), with a patch loop that prevents repeated failure.

FinanceOS pipeline (text diagram)

Signals → Registers → Sensors → Verification → Phase-stamped Claims → Portfolio Gates → Action (or Block) → Patch

If any step is missing, the output is P1 commentary and cannot act.

Why this exists (the hard problem)

Most finance failures happen because systems:

act on Z5 narrative (headlines, sentiment) as if it were reality
skip verification
ignore liquidity cliffs
discover TTC (Time-to-Core) too late
let “one good idea” bypass portfolio limits

FinanceOS solves this by forcing serialization + gating before action.

Z6→Z0 Ladder (what you are about to build)

FinanceOS is a stacked runtime. You publish it top-down:

Z6: Ontology, rules, verification, workflows (how the system is allowed to behave)
Z5: Narrative as observable inputs (caged; cannot trade)
Z4: Macro & policy as structured DATA/EVENT
Z3: Risks & channels (mechanisms + contagion edges)
Z2: Issuer capability organs (CompanyOS bridge)
Z1: Instrument reality (Asset Register: contract + settlement + liquidity)
Z0: Executed transactions + patch loop (what actually happened)

Minimal Viable FinanceOS (MV-F)

You are not “running FinanceOS” unless these exist:

Registers (directories)

ASSET (contract + settlement)
EVENT (normalized shocks)
DATA (macro prints / key metrics)
RISK (mechanisms, not vibes)
CLAIM (phase-stamped statements)

Sensors (minimum set)

TTC (Time-to-Core)
VOL (volatility regime)
CMS (coupling map shift)
SIS (source integrity)
LGI (liquidity gap)
(optional) NOI (narrative overhang)

Controls

VERIF pack (triangulation + Z-gate + serialization + revision awareness)
RULE-T truncation
RULE-S stitching
Portfolio gates (limits + budgets + exits)

If anything is missing → P1-only mode (monitor, no action).

Compliance checklist (LOCK)

A system is compliant only if:

[ ] Every action links to a P2+ CLAIM
[ ] Every CLAIM lists evidence IDs + zoom_basis
[ ] Z5-only claims are capped at P1 and cannot trade
[ ] Sensors TTC/VOL/CMS/SIS/LGI are computed each cycle
[ ] Events/data are serialized into registers (not prose)
[ ] Truncation triggers exist and are enforced
[ ] Stitching rebuild exists and is enforced
[ ] EXP lane (if used) has explicit budget + expiry + patch

If any box is unchecked → permissions auto-downgrade.

City instantiations (Singapore / New York)

Once the base runtime exists, you can publish city pages that instantiate it:

Singapore FinanceOS Runtime: MAS policy (Z4), SGX instruments (Z1), FX/funding channels (Z3), issuer organs (Z2), rumor channels caged (Z5), execution timing (Z0).
New York FinanceOS Runtime: Fed/NYFed/SEC (Z4/Z5), NYSE/Nasdaq instruments (Z1), funding/liquidity channels (Z3), issuer organs (Z2), headline spikes caged (Z5), execution under volatility (Z0).

Failure mode trace (required)

Headline → narrative treated as truth → no serialization → no gates → action at P0/P1 → TTC collapses → forced error → loss.
Repair: registers + sensors + verification + truncation before TTC collapse.

FinanceOS Runtime Ontology Index (Z6) (WordPress Paste-Ready)

Summary (LOCK)

The Runtime Ontology Index is the compact directory of all FinanceOS record types, sensors, verification circuits, rules, and required model outputs. Publish this so humans and LLMs treat FinanceOS as one executable system.

0) Coordinate grammar (LOCK)

All records follow:

Place×Lane×Zoom×Role×Type×ID

Place: ISO-alpha-3 (e.g., SGP, USA) or GLB
Lane: FIN | COM | PRT
Zoom: Z0–Z6
Role: V | O | OP
Type: from directories below
ID: immutable token (never rename; version forward only)

1) Type directory (Registers)

FIN types

ASSET (Z1) — tradable instrument definition
VENUE (Z1) — exchange/broker/custodian/exchange venue
EVENT (Z4/Z5) — normalized shock/event record
DATA (Z4) — observed datapoint (macro, spreads, metrics)
RISK (Z3) — risk mechanism
CHANNEL (Z3) — propagation edge
SENSOR (Z6) — computed state
VERIF (Z6) — verification circuit
CLAIM (Z6) — phase-stamped testable statement
ASSUMP (Z6) — named assumption
TEST (Z6) — disconfirm test record
PATCH (Z6) — fix log (post-mortem / near-miss)

COM types (CompanyOS bridge)

ISSUER (Z2) — issuer capability root
ORG (Z2) — capability organ
DEP (Z3) — dependency/coupling edge
FM (Z2/Z3) — failure mode
SENSOR (Z6) — organ state

PRT types (PortfolioOS)

PORT (Z6) — portfolio object
POSITION (Z6) — holding/exposure record
LIMIT (Z6) — constraint
BUDGET (Z6) — risk budget
RULE (Z6) — permission/control logic
PLAYBOOK (Z6) — procedures (truncate/stitch/etc.)
PATCH (Z6) — portfolio fixes

2) Sensor directory (Canonical)

FIN sensors

FIN-SENSOR-TTC {A,B,C,D} — Time-to-Core
FIN-SENSOR-VOL {V0–V3} — volatility state
FIN-SENSOR-CMS {C0–C3} — coupling map shift
FIN-SENSOR-SIS {S0–S3} — source integrity
FIN-SENSOR-LGI {L0–L3} — liquidity gap index
FIN-SENSOR-NOI {N0–N3} — narrative overhang (optional)

COM sensors

COM-SENSOR-OV {OV0–OV3} — organ vitality
COM-SENSOR-DC {D0–D3} — dependency concentration
COM-SENSOR-RL {RLA–RLD} — repair latency
COM-SENSOR-SA {S0–S3} — substitution availability
COM-SENSOR-GEQ {G0–G3} — governance execution quality

PRT sensors

PRT-SENSOR-PTTC — portfolio TTC
PRT-SENSOR-BUDGET {ok|warning|breach} — budget status

3) Verification directory (VERIF Pack)

VERIF-01 Two-source triangulation (or primary source)
VERIF-02 Z-Separation gate (Z5-only capped at P1)
VERIF-03 Evidence serialization gate (EVENT/DATA/ISSUER update required)
VERIF-04 Revision awareness gate (revisable series must declare revision_state)
VERIF-05 Contradiction injection (P3 requires disconfirm tests)
VERIF-06 TTC safety gate (danger forces truncation or raises requirements)

4) Phase directory (P0–P3) (LOCK)

P0 unverified (no action)
P1 plausible/weak (monitor; EXP probe only if pre-budgeted)
P2 verified/actionable (trades allowed within limits)
P3 robust/stressable (allocations/scaling allowed)

5) Rule directory (Controls)

RULE-Z5-0 No Z5-only trading
RULE-D downgrade/escalation policy
RULE-T truncation trigger rules (TTC=D, VOL=V3, CMS≥C2, budget breach)
RULE-S stitching rebuild rules (VOL≤V1 & CMS≤C1 & verification restored)
RULE-LIQ liquidity gate (LGI-based staged execution + caps)
RULE-SL stop-loss suite (thesis/time/liquidity)
RULE-EXP experimental lane constraints

6) Playbook directory (Procedures)

PLAYBOOK-TRUNCATE
PLAYBOOK-STITCH
PLAYBOOK-NEWS (rumor handling)
PLAYBOOK-INCIDENT (exchange/ops incidents)
PLAYBOOK-REVIEW (daily/weekly portfolio review)

7) Model output contract (I/O) (LOCK)

Every model run must output:

Register updates (IDs created/updated)
Sensor summary (TTC, VOL, CMS, SIS, LGI)
VERIF summary (pass/fail per gate)
CLAIM block (phase_stamp + zoom_basis + evidence_links)
Action permission (allowed/blocked + why)
Controls invoked (truncate/stitch/limits)
Expiry time (revalidation schedule)

If any section missing → P1 only, block action.

Failure mode trace (required)

No ontology → outputs stay as prose → no serialization → no gates → action slips in at P0/P1 → TTC collapse → forced errors.
Repair: enforce this index + output contract.
