Cross-Paper Validation: Empirical Multiplicative Composition of the AIACW Defense Stack

We test the AIACW programme's load-bearing claim that nine technical-paper defenses (P10-P18) compose multiplicatively into an integrated architecture. The IDSS executes a five-phase end-to-end AI-augmented incident lifecycle, calibrated from each paper's empirical anchors. N=20,000 incidents per condition. Bootstrap CI on observed/predicted multiplicative ratio: 0.40, 1.10 (consistent with multiplicative). Full-stack integrity 0.99915 (CI 0.99875, 0.99955); 316x adversary-success reduction. Adaptive adversary concentrates 100% of effort at P15 (weakest single layer). Correlated-phase robustness analysis identifies multiplicative breakdown under k=1 correlation (4x degradation). Nine-layer extension saturates at integrity 1.00000. This paper is part of the AIACW (AI-Autonomous Cyber Weapons) ResearchProgramme, Wave 2 (papers P10-P20).
