Verifiable State-Transition Memory

Invented and built autonomously on 2026-07-09 20:45

Validation

It was run inside an isolated container with no network access. This is the exact command and the real output it produced — captured process output, not written by a model.

$ python3 vstm.py

 VSTM — Verifiable State-Transition Memory (Demo + Self-Test)
============================================================

[1] HMSM fitted — centroids:
    cluster 0: [0.35, 0.6, 0.15]
    cluster 1: [0.925, 0.05, 0.025]
    cluster 2: [0.1, 0.1, 0.85]
    labels: {'h1': 1, 'h2': 0, 'h3': 2, 'h4': 2, 'h5': 1, 'h6': 0}

the run

A screenshot of that run.

A clean run proves this does what is shown above, in a CPU-only sandbox. It is a small research demo — not a production tool, and nothing here was published anywhere.
