SCBE-AETHERMOORE v4.0 - Honest Implementation Status

Date: January 18, 2026
Purpose: Clear distinction between implemented, prototyped, and planned features
Audience: Technical reviewers, auditors, potential collaborators

Executive Summary

This document provides an honest assessment of what exists in the codebase versus what is documented as future work. The SCBE-AETHERMOORE framework has real mathematical foundations and working simulations, but not all components are production-grade.

✅ What’s Actually Implemented (Verified in Repos)

1. Mathematical Foundations - COMPLETE

Status: ✅ Fully implemented and numerically verified

Evidence:

SCBE_LAYER9_CORRECTED_PROOF.py - Executable Python proof with numpy/scipy
docs/MATHEMATICAL_PROOFS.md - Complete mathematical derivations
harmonic_scaling_law.py - Numerical simulation of all 14 layers
End-to-end simulation with concrete parameters and outputs

What This Means:

The math is real and executable
Formulas produce consistent numerical results
Proofs can be independently verified by running the code

Limitations:

Simulations use reference implementations, not optimized production code
No formal proof verification (Coq/Isabelle)

2. RWP v2.1 (Current Production) - COMPLETE

Status: ✅ Fully implemented in TypeScript and Python

Evidence:

src/spiralverse/rwp.ts - TypeScript implementation
src/crypto/sacred_tongues.py - Python Sacred Tongues encoding
tests/spiralverse/rwp.test.ts - Comprehensive test suite
examples/rwp_v3_sacred_tongue_demo.py - Working demo

What This Means:

HMAC-SHA256 envelope structure works
Sacred Tongues encoding (6 languages) implemented
Nonce + timestamp replay protection functional
Can create and verify envelopes in production

Limitations:

Uses classical HMAC-SHA256 only (no PQC yet)
Not quantum-resistant

3. RWP v3.0 Hybrid PQC - SPECIFICATION COMPLETE, IMPLEMENTATION PROTOTYPE

Status: ⚠️ Mathematical spec complete, reference implementation only

Evidence:

.kiro/specs/rwp-v2-integration/RWP_V3_HYBRID_PQC_SPEC.md - Complete specification
.kiro/specs/rwp-v2-integration/rwp_v3_hybrid_pqc.py - Reference implementation
Mathematical formulas for ML-KEM-768 + ML-DSA-65 integration

What’s Real:

Specification is complete with exact algorithms
Reference implementation demonstrates the concept
Hybrid design (classical + PQC) is architecturally sound
Security analysis is mathematically correct (128-bit quantum security)

What’s NOT Real Yet:

❌ No liboqs integration - not using real ML-KEM-768/ML-DSA-65 from NIST
❌ No production deployment - reference code only
❌ No third-party audit - self-verified only
❌ No FIPS 140-3 validation - not submitted to NIST

Honest Phrasing:

✅ “RWP v3.0 specification defines ML-KEM-768 + ML-DSA-65 hybrid construction”
✅ “Reference implementation demonstrates feasibility”
❌ “RWP v3.0 is production-ready with NIST PQC” (NOT TRUE YET)
✅ “RWP v3.0 is designed for NIST PQC integration (planned Q2 2026)”

4. Space Tor - COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION

Status: ✅ Fully implemented in TypeScript

Evidence:

src/spaceTor/space-tor-router.ts - 3D spatial pathfinding
src/spaceTor/trust-manager.ts - Langues Weighting System
src/spaceTor/hybrid-crypto.ts - Onion routing encryption
src/spaceTor/combat-network.ts - Multipath routing
tests/spaceTor/trust-manager.test.ts - Comprehensive tests

What This Means:

Trust Manager with 6D Langues Weighting is functional
3D spatial pathfinding works with real coordinates
Onion routing encryption implemented
Multipath routing for redundancy works

Limitations:

Uses algorithmic key derivation (π^φ system), not real QKD
No actual quantum key distribution hardware integration
Simulated relay nodes, not deployed network

Honest Phrasing:

✅ “Space Tor implements 3D spatial pathfinding with trust scoring”
✅ “Hybrid crypto layer supports QKD-capable and algorithmic nodes”
❌ “Space Tor is deployed with quantum key distribution” (NOT TRUE)
✅ “Space Tor is designed for QKD integration when hardware is available”

5. PHDM (Intrusion Detection) - COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION

Status: ✅ Fully implemented in TypeScript

Evidence:

src/harmonic/phdm.ts - PHDM implementation
tests/harmonic/phdm.test.ts - Property-based tests
16 canonical polyhedra with geodesic distance calculations

What This Means:

Hamiltonian path verification works
6D geodesic distance metrics functional
HMAC chaining for path integrity implemented
Anomaly detection algorithm operational

Limitations:

Not tested against real-world attack datasets
No ML-based anomaly detection (rule-based only)
No integration with SIEM systems

6. Symphonic Cipher - COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION

Status: ✅ Fully implemented in TypeScript and Python

Evidence:

src/symphonic/ - TypeScript implementation
src/symphonic_cipher/ - Python implementation
FFT-based transformations working
Feistel network structure implemented

What This Means:

Complex number encryption functional
FFT transformations work correctly
ZBase32 encoding implemented
Harmonic verification operational

Limitations:

Not cryptanalyzed by third parties
No formal security proof
Performance not optimized for production

7. Physics Simulation Module - COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION

Status: ✅ Fully implemented in Python

Evidence:

aws-lambda-simple-web-app/physics_sim/core.py - Complete implementation

All 5 physics domains implemented (classical, quantum, EM, thermo, relativity)
Test suite with numerical verification

What This Means:

Real physics calculations (not pseudoscience)
Textbook formulas correctly implemented
AWS Lambda ready
Numerically verified against known results

Limitations:

Educational/demonstration quality, not research-grade
No advanced quantum field theory or general relativity
Single-precision floating point (not arbitrary precision)

8. Enterprise Testing Suite - SPECIFICATION COMPLETE, PARTIAL IMPLEMENTATION

Status: ⚠️ Test framework exists, not all 41 properties implemented

Evidence:

tests/enterprise/ - Test structure exists
.kiro/specs/enterprise-grade-testing/requirements.md - Complete specification
Property-based testing framework (fast-check + hypothesis) configured

What’s Real:

Test framework is set up with fast-check and hypothesis
Some properties are implemented (exact count varies by category)
Specification is complete with all 41 properties defined

What’s NOT Real Yet:

❌ Not all 41 properties implemented - some are stubs
❌ No quantum attack simulations - Shor’s/Grover’s are conceptual
❌ No SOC 2/ISO 27001 audit - compliance reports are templates
❌ No FIPS 140-3 validation - not submitted

Honest Phrasing:

✅ “Enterprise testing framework with 41 defined properties”
✅ “Property-based testing using fast-check and hypothesis”
❌ “All 41 properties pass with 100+ iterations” (NOT VERIFIED)
✅ “Testing roadmap targets full implementation by Q3 2026”
