Design Principles

1. Determinism First

Every verification produces the same result for the same input. No randomness.

2. Symbolic Over Statistical

Use mathematical proofs (Z3, SymPy) instead of probabilistic confidence scores.

3. Audit by Default

Every verification generates a receipt. No silent failures.

4. Defense in Depth

Cross-Guard combines multiple guards for layered security.
