# Velaru Formal Ontology v3 — Civilization OS Priority Atoms

**Nisaba LLC · August 11, 2026 · Informational**

Extends ONTOLOGY-2 with 9 new rails and 3 priority composed atoms for network-state
jurisdiction, war refusal (lethality + cognitive + memetic), and climate refusal
(cooling credits + atmospheric write authority) — all under frozen Handler law.

**Live APIs:** `/tcb/jurisdiction-atom` · `/tcb/war-refusal-atom` · `/tcb/climate-refusal-atom`

## New rails (v3 priority batch)

| ID | Topic | Certify | Do NOT claim |
|----|-------|---------|--------------|
| NSTATE-1 | Network state / Society-as-a-Service | Host permission + census record | Diplomatic recognition |
| CGOV-1 | Competitive government platforms | Platform Handler binding | Best government |
| CHART-1 | Private charter jurisdictions | Charter commissioning | Sovereign secession |
| CITM-1 | Citizenship markets | Slot transfer under law | National belonging essence |
| LETH-1 | Autonomous lethality | Product refusal class | Legitimate target truth |
| COGW-1 | Cognitive warfare tooling | Propagation containment | Narrative truth |
| MEMW-1 | Memetic warfare platforms | Platform FORBIDDEN class | Meme effectiveness |
| COOL-1 | Cooling credits | Offset equivalence refusal | 1g SO2 = 1t CO2 equivalence |
| ATMOS-1 | Atmospheric write-access | OWA under quorum | Climate truth oracle |

## Composed atoms (v3)

| Atom | Rails | Stavan / bind-gate leverage |
|------|-------|----------------------------|
| **Jurisdiction** | NSTATE · CGOV · CHART · CITM · BLAW · PNAT | Micro-jurisdiction + charter commissioning under adversarial quorum |
| **War Refusal** | LETH · COGW · MEMW · VIOF · CIND | Lethality + cognitive + memetic FORBIDDEN with indifference containment |
| **Climate Refusal** | COOL · ATMOS · VIOF · HAZ | Cooling-credit markets not listed; atmospheric OWA only |

## Research backlog (not yet live)

The civilization OS topic list (~90 themes) proposes additional stacks for future batches:

- **Continuity / substrate:** cryonics markets, mind-upload forks, species compile v2
- **Epistemic warfare:** deepfake insurance, synthetic witness markets, narrative arbitrage
- **Economic refusal:** attention futures, reputation securitization, violence prediction markets
- **Governance:** algorithmic citizenship, charter arbitration, competitive courts
- **Terminal / afterlife:** digital succession markets, griefware subscriptions, memorial write-access

These remain **draft rails** until composed atom APIs and binding tests land.

## Honest ceiling (unchanged thesis)

Velaru certifies *institutional/process facts under frozen law* — not diplomatic recognition,
threat intelligence truth, climate efficacy, or metaphysical jurisdiction.

**Bind-gate one-liner:** *We externalize bind decisions so you don't trust our logs.*
