GENOME & Swarm
The GENOME SDK is the reference implementation and production deployment foundation for the AIEP protocol. The Swarm protocol extends AIEP to multi-node deployments with coordinator-free consensus and hardware-enforced anonymisation.
GENOME SDK
The AIEP GENOME SDK (kernel v1.2.0) contains:
- The frozen kernel — R1–R8 canonical primitives. Locked. No operator can modify kernel behaviour without triggering a version fracture.
- The Flexibility Contract (AIEP-FC-001) — the binding architectural constraint that defines what operators may configure and what they cannot.
- The governance layer — policy engine, capability selection, adapter registry, audit export.
The four layers
| Layer | Name | Governance | What operators control |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Kernel | FROZEN | Nothing — any change = new protocol version |
| 1 | Capability | VERSIONED | Capability selection within declared options |
| 2 | Policy | GOVERNED | Policy files — hashed, versioned, stored with artefact |
| 3 | Enterprise | FREE | UI, infrastructure, integrations |
The Flexibility Test (FC §11): a requested change is valid without version fracture if it can be expressed as a policy change, a capability selection, an adapter swap, or an enterprise-layer enhancement. If it requires editing kernel logic — it is a new protocol version.
Two deployment paths
| Path | What it means |
|---|---|
| Build | Construct a new AI-governed system with AIEP compliance as a native property |
| Retrofit | Wrap any existing AI deployment in the AIEP compliance layer without architectural rebuild |
Every AI system currently operating in a regulated jurisdiction that is not yet compliant is a retrofit candidate.
The determinism proof
Output = f(A, C, P) — for identical architecture (A), capability set (C), and policy (P), any two AIEP nodes produce identical output. Cross-node equivalence is cryptographically verifiable by any third party.
The GENOME_LOCKFILE.json in every deployment carries a cryptographic commitment to the kernel version in force — the trust root for any production deployment.
Access
The GENOME SDK is available to Tier 1 and above licensees and evaluated hardware partners under NDA. Contact [email protected].

Swarm Protocol
Multi-node AIEP deployments where nodes reach consensus without a central coordinator.
Coordinator-free consensus — P90
aiep-swarm-consensus implements evidence-weighted multi-node voting. Every consensus decision is cryptographically verifiable. No single node controls the outcome. No central coordinator can be compromised, pressured, or removed.
Hardware anonymisation — P91
The most significant property of the AIEP swarm: hardware-enforced anonymisation. The DeviceHardwareSecret lives inside the governance chip isolation enclave and is never accessible to software.
This property is categorical. No software instruction, no operating system call, no network interception can recover the identifiable information from a swarm contribution. This cannot be replicated by any software-only architecture.
