           TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
        
           1. Definitions.
        
              "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
              and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
        
              "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
              the copyright owner that is granting the License.
        
              "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
              other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
              control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
              "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
              direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
              otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
              outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
        
              "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
              exercising permissions granted by this License.
        
              "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
              including but not limited to software source code, documentation
              source, and configuration files.
        
              "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
              transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
              not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
              and conversions to other media types.
        
              "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
              Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
              copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
              (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
        
              "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
              form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
              editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
              represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
              of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
              separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
              the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
        
              "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
              the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
              to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
              submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
              or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
              the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
              means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
              to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
              communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
              and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
              Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
              excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
              designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
        
              "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
              on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
              subsequently incorporated within the Work.
        
           2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
              publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
              Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
        
           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
        
           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
        
           APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
        
              To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
              boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
              replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include

# Echo Module (EM)

Echo Module is a domain-agnostic engine that fuses unreliable, multi-source signal
into an explainable, calibrated, provenance-tracked state — informing a decision,
never autonomously acting on it. It is infrastructure, not a product: it has no
opinion about the domain it's used in, only about how to combine signals of
declared reliability honestly, learn which ones to trust over time, explain why it
concluded what it concluded, and stop short of acting on its own conclusion.

For the full definition, scope, and governing principles, see
[`governance/EM_Charter_v1.html`](governance/EM_Charter_v1.html). The interface
contracts implemented here are specified in
[`governance/EM_Architecture_Design_v1.html`](governance/EM_Architecture_Design_v1.html),
with individual design decisions recorded in [`docs/adr/`](docs/adr/).

## Where this comes from

EM's six components — `Source`, `Fuser`, `Gate`, `Calibrator`, `ProvenanceStore`,
`Router` — aren't a from-scratch design. They were extracted by auditing five
unrelated, independently-built production systems (a clinical support platform, a
consumer-wellbeing app, a career-coaching product, and a crypto-derivatives trading
system, all built by the same author over several years) and identifying which
patterns those systems converged on independently, without having shared code or
having been designed together. That audit is public:
[`docs/audit/EM_Candidate_Matrix.md`](docs/audit/EM_Candidate_Matrix.md), with the
four per-repo audits alongside it.

This is evidence the underlying pattern is real and extractable — not a claim of
wide adoption or that it's proven at scale. Some components (`Fuser`'s numeric-weighted
mode, `Gate`) converged strongly, independently confirmed in three or more of the
four systems; others (`ProvenanceStore`'s correctness-half, several `Router` shapes)
are honestly weaker evidence, and the codebase says so directly — see each
component's contract page for exactly how strong its evidence is, not just that it
exists.

No code from any of the five source systems has been, or will be, copied into this
repository — see [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md)'s clean-room policy.

## Use of AI in this project

This project has made substantial, disclosed use of AI assistance across three
distinct roles — specific about what each one actually did, not a general
"AI was used responsibly" statement:

- **Governance drafting (Claude, via claude.ai chat)** drafted the EM Charter,
  Strategy Plan, Architecture & Design document, the Phase 1 audit directive, and
  all eight ADRs in [`docs/adr/`](docs/adr/) — and reviewed every milestone
  completion report the implementation work below produced, catching real issues
  along the way. Three of the eight ADRs
  ([0006](docs/adr/0006-fuser-raises-on-empty-input.md),
  [0007](docs/adr/0007-fusedstate-id-field.md),
  [0008](docs/adr/0008-calibrator-recalibrate-requires-source-name.md)) exist
  specifically because this review caught a real finding *from* the implementation
  work and turned it into a genuine, JB-confirmed design decision — not a rubber
  stamp on work already done.
- **Implementation (Claude Code, this repository's git history)** executed the
  read-only Phase 1 audits across all five source repos
  ([`docs/audit/`](docs/audit/)) and the milestone-by-milestone implementation of
  `src/`, `tests/`, `examples/`, and `docs/contracts/` — each milestone gated by an
  explicit Definition of Done (`CONTRIBUTING.md`), with several issues caught and
  fixed within that same process rather than carried forward silently (e.g. a
  milestone's incomplete Definition of Done retroactively fixed one milestone
  later; a test later found not to actually verify the property its own docstring
  claimed, corrected before merge).
- **Jean-Baptiste Decorzent** directed and reviewed every step above, and made
  every final call: approving or overriding architecture decisions, setting v1's
  component scope, choosing the entity path, the license (Apache-2.0), the funding
  target, and this disclosure's own wording.

`docs/adr/` and `docs/audit/` are the concrete, checkable evidence of that review
trail — this disclosure is verifiable against the actual record, not just
asserted. See NLnet's [published GenAI
policy](https://nlnet.nl/foundation/policies/generativeAI/) for the disclosure
standard this section is written against.

## Quickstart

```bash
git clone https://github.com/JBDE72/echo-module.git
cd echo-module
python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/activate   # .venv/bin/activate on macOS/Linux
pip install -e ".[dev]"
python examples/full_pipeline.py
```

[`examples/full_pipeline.py`](examples/full_pipeline.py) runs every v1 component in
one loop — two toy sensors are fused, gated, attributed, and routed; a `Calibrator`
then checks one sensor's prediction against what actually happened, adjusts its
weight, and a second fuse over the *same* raw readings produces a visibly different
result as a direct consequence. That loop — a Source's output changing because its
own track record changed — is the reason `Calibrator` exists.

## The six components

| Component | What it does | Contract |
|---|---|---|
| `Source` | Fetches a raw signal, normalizes it to `[0,1]`, declares a weight and a fallback | [`docs/contracts/source.md`](docs/contracts/source.md) |
| `Fuser` | Combines multiple `Source` readings into one explainable fused state | [`docs/contracts/fuser.md`](docs/contracts/fuser.md) |
| `Gate` | Converts a fused state into a discrete classification — informs, never acts | [`docs/contracts/gate.md`](docs/contracts/gate.md) |
| `Calibrator` | Adjusts a Source's weight over time, based on verified outcomes | [`docs/contracts/calibrator.md`](docs/contracts/calibrator.md) |
| `ProvenanceStore` | Records which Source contributed what, to which fused state, and when | [`docs/contracts/provenance.md`](docs/contracts/provenance.md) |
| `Router` | Selects a routing tier — e.g. how much compute a downstream step deserves | [`docs/contracts/router.md`](docs/contracts/router.md) |

Each contract page leads with the strongest, most load-bearing finding behind that
component — read those before the source code if you want the reasoning, not just
the interface. See [`docs/README.md`](docs/README.md) for the full documentation
index.

## Status

**v1.0.0, released.** All six component contracts are implemented, each with at
least one reference implementation, a contract page, and a runnable example. See
[`governance/EM_Development_Implementation_Plan_v1.html`](governance/EM_Development_Implementation_Plan_v1.html)
for the milestone sequence that got here and [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) for
the full v1.0.0 changelog.

## Installation

```bash
pip install echo-module
