PSE - Pluralistic Sentinel Engine
The Pluralistic Sentinel Engine monitors live systems, evaluates multi-modal evidence, and triggers enforcement workflows when risk thresholds are crossed.
Treatise date: August 13, 2025.
Continuous evidence fusion
PSE fuses telemetry, human testimony, and external observability signals into a coherent risk signal. The treatise positions PSE as the operational heart of enforcement, capable of detecting drift and recommending escalation.
Signal sources
- Model outputs, safety metrics, and performance logs
- Human incident reports and community submissions
- External audits and attestations
- Cross domain observability feeds via IOL
Outputs
- Ethics Confidence Score per policy scope
- Escalation triggers with evidence bundles
- Remediation task creation and tracking
- Transparency log entries for auditors
Escalation workflow
Observe
Collect and normalize evidence across modalities.
Score
Compute confidence and detect drift.
Escalate
Trigger LEI deliberation and remediation workflows.
Verify
Confirm remediation results and update confidence.
Publish
Log evidence and decisions to the DPV timeline.
Review
Ethics Court reviews contested escalations.
Adaptive sentinel baselines
Baseline risk calibration that evolves with context.
AMME Extensions add adaptive baselines so that PSE thresholds can shift with changing environments while preserving traceability. Baseline updates require documented rationale and are stored in DPV as separate evidence bundles so auditors can distinguish environmental shifts from enforcement drift.
