Key Points

  • The goal is to develop a neuro-symbolic system for extracting validated causal knowledge from unstructured documents in regulated sectors.
  • Introduced the Sovereign Causal Graph architecture.
  • Implemented the Foss Hallucination Gate for validation of extractions.
  • Utilized the Foss-UQA Protocol for uncertainty extraction from natural language.
  • Generated synthetic training samples without LLMs for rapid development.
  • Conducted differential testing against Bitcoin Core versions.
  • Achieved 99.9% rejection rate of malformed data through validation pipeline.
  • Extracted 4,309 validated causal triplets from 525 Bitcoin Security documents.
  • Attained 82.6% quantification coverage of causal data.

Abstract

I present the Sovereign Causal Graph (SCG), a neuro-symbolic system for extracting validated causal knowledge from unstructured technical documents in air-gapped environments. The architecture addresses two critical challenges in enterprise AI deployment: the hallucination problem inherent to Large Language Models (LLMs), and the data sovereignty requirements of regulated industries. The core contributions include:(1) The Foss Hallucination Gate - a 14-step deterministic validation pipeline achieving 99.9% rejection of malformed extractions(2) The Foss-UQA Protocol - systematic extraction of quantified uncertainty bounds from natural language(3) The Foss Generator - an LLM-free system producing 100,000 synthetic training samples in ~10 seconds(4) A neuro-symbolic exploit discovery architecture validated through differential testing against Bitcoin Core v0.16 vs v28.0 Evaluated on 525 Bitcoin Security documents, the system extracts 4,309 validated causal triplets achieving 82.6% quantification coverage. The system's focus on P2P protocol divergence was calibrated through technical feedback from Bitcoin Core maintainer Pieter Wuille (SIPA). This dataset includes the complete pipeline database (4,309 triplets) and the technical whitepaper describing the methodology.
