Licensing-ready black-box validation

AURAL — Renormalized Black-Box FTLE Validation

Spectral growth rate γ(x) is estimable from trajectory observations alone. This simulated Lorenz benchmark shows persistent renormalization collapsing directional bias, recovering the dominant local instability rate, and supporting a black-box-compatible governance claim.

Trajectory-only estimation — no structural or white-box access required.
Persistent renormalization keeps the perturbation in the linear regime and aligns with the dominant Lyapunov direction.
Licensing signal — black-box compatibility removes the key adoption barrier for external governance layers.

Claim 1

Spectral growth rate γ(x) is measurable from trajectory observations alone.

Claim 2

Renormalization suppresses contracting-direction bias and keeps the perturbation vector calibrated.

Claim 3

The measured rate is accurate enough to support adaptive, energy-bounded governance logic.

99.9%
Mean bias collapse from naive random-direction sampling to persistent renormalized tracking.
RMS Improvement
42.08%
Error dispersion drops materially once the estimator is kept in the linear regime.
Mean Accuracy
0.07%
Absolute percent gap between the renormalized mean estimate and Benettin ground truth.

Proof chain is complete

The licensing narrative depends on the full chain, not a single statistic.

Step 1

Renormalization keeps ‖δ‖ = ε, so the estimator remains inside the local linear regime.

Step 2

Linear-regime tracking suppresses curvature contamination and converges toward the dominant growth direction.

Step 3

Accurate γ̂ is suitable for downstream adaptive law inputs and energy-bounded governance control.

Step 4

All measurements arise from outputs only, establishing black-box compatibility for licensing.

Why this matters for licensing

Prospective licensees need evidence that governance does not depend on privileged model access.

Barrier removed

Black-box AI systems are the hardest governance target because the controller cannot inspect weights, architecture, or internal state. AURAL demonstrates a viable trajectory-only path.

Mechanism validated

The raw estimator fails for the predicted reason: random perturbation directions are dominated by the strongly contracting exponent. Persistent renormalization fixes the failure mode structurally.

Commercial relevance

This is the difference between a white-box laboratory result and a licensing-ready external governance claim suitable for partner diligence.

Simulation scope

Reproducible, fixed-seed Lorenz benchmark.

System

Numerics

RK4 integration for nominal, perturbed, and tangent trajectories.

Estimator variants

Raw and renormalized FTLE traces versus the true Lyapunov exponent.
Raw finite-difference sampling is visibly unstable and negatively biased, while the renormalized estimator tracks the dominant local growth rate.
Rolling mean convergence of the renormalized FTLE estimator.
Rolling-mean and cumulative-mean views expose convergence behavior and support a clean licensing-ready presentation.
Bias and RMS comparison between raw and renormalized estimators.
Bias and RMS metrics make the commercial point quickly: persistent renormalization is not cosmetic, it is the mechanism that makes black-box estimation viable.
