The Witness · a Regulayer surface
The Witness is sealed decision memory. Every governed moment is recorded as it happens, chained to the moment before it, and verifiable by anyone holding the record. It records the conduct. It never reads the content.
The Witness is built on one refusal: it will not read your words. What it seals is the shape of the moment. That AI ran, in which tool, at what time, and what a person chose to do about it.
Documents, client secrets, patient charts, deal terms: none of it is ever stored or sent. That is why the record can be shown to an outsider without betraying an insider, which is precisely the property application logs do not have.
The kernel binds the loopback interface and refuses any client that is not local. The signing key is generated on your own machine on first run and never leaves it. In the default mode there is no outbound call of any kind. Where independent time is required, a single cryptographic digest goes to a public timestamp authority, never the file and never its contents. The source ships readable, so your own security function can satisfy itself line by line.
Every answer your security function will ask for, on one page you can forward
Describe the system, what it decides, and what it would cost you to be unable to prove it. A written scope follows before any call.
