Question 1

What is PCM^RTOS?

Accepted Answer

PCM^RTOS is a software wrapper that runs inside real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, VxWorks, QNX, SafeRTOS) and stamps a cryptographic receipt on every AI decision before it leaves the chip — at hardware speed, with no latency penalty. It captures live video telemetry streams, compresses them with the NeurPac codec (up to 90%+ smaller than standard), and seals each frame into a tamper-evident CRTA chain. PCM^RTOS is the first RTOS-native AI governance system for critical infrastructure, built by Guardian Posse, LLC.

Question 2

What is Video Telemetry at RTOS Speeds?

Accepted Answer

Video Telemetry at RTOS Speeds describes Guardian Posse's PCM^RTOS capability: every video telemetry frame from a fighter jet, nuclear plant, or autonomous platform is sealed into a tamper-evident CRTA chain at the same speed the RTOS processes data — kernel interrupt speed. Frame-level pHash chain, GOP Merkle tree, and CRTA iterative frame-tag chain run simultaneously in real time. No latency penalty. 110 formal-property proofs running live in the PCM Integration Testbed.

Question 3

What is VeriGate?

Accepted Answer

VeriGate is Guardian Posse's cryptographic verification gate for AI output. It independently re-derives codec identity and output integrity from every inference using five evidence families: (A) codec lossless allowlist, (B) GOP Merkle commitment, (C) temporal pHash chain, (D) frame sequence gap detection, and (E) CRTA iterative frame-tag chain. VeriGate fails closed — it never trusts a self-reported receipt. Every verified output carries a chain receipt any auditor can re-derive without trusting the device, software, or operator.

Question 4

What is the CRTA chain?

Accepted Answer

CRTA (Continuous Real-Time Attestation) is Guardian Posse's HMAC-SHA-256 tag chain over {codebookId, codebookVersion, bits, sequence, prevTag}. Every compressed frame gets a unique tag; the chain is ordered, tamper-evident, and re-derivable by any auditor. Hash-agile to CNSA 2.0 SHA-384/512 via PCM-XL (HACR invention). Session boundaries are provably gap-free (Gap A). Multi-sensor co-location is a cryptographic proof (Gap B).

Question 5

What is the PCM Integration Testbed?

Accepted Answer

The PCM Integration Testbed is a browser-safe formal-property harness at kojie.works/atombeam-grid/neurpac-testbed covering 110 total PCM innovations — 73 AtomBeam NeurPac innovations (PCM-I through PCM-CVIII) and 37 Guardian Posse PCM^RTOS innovations (FAM-S through FAM-AD plus OT/ICS families). All 110 formal properties run live in the browser using WebCrypto. It demonstrates Video Telemetry at RTOS Speeds with tamper-evident receipt chains.

Question 6

How does Guardian Posse's nuclear telemetry work?

Accepted Answer

Guardian Posse's nuclear telemetry system at kojie.works/atombeam-grid/nuclear-telemetry provides the first self-verifying nuclear FSS (Final Status Survey) package. Every MARSSIM survey reading, ALARA dose event, and contamination scan is cryptographically receipted the moment it leaves the calculator — hash-anchored (SHA-256, hash-agile to CNSA 2.0 SHA-384/512) and CRTA-chained before any network hop. Session boundaries are provably gap-free (Gap A). Multi-sensor co-location is a mathematical proof (Gap B). Any auditor can re-derive the entire chain without trusting the device, software, or operator.

Question 7

How many patents does Guardian Posse have?

Accepted Answer

Guardian Posse has 504 patent-pending inventions (GP-#1 through GP-#504) covering AI governance, video codec governance, RTOS compliance, operational domain sovereignty (Drone/UAS, Maritime, VR/Synthetic, ISR Intelligence), post-quantum governance, federated governance, zero-knowledge governance proofs, and cross-domain operational sovereignty. 28 initial applications were filed on 2026-07-07 with the USPTO. The portfolio is documented at kojie.works/atombeam-grid/nucleus.

Question 8

What RTOS platforms does PCM^RTOS support?

Accepted Answer

PCM^RTOS targets FreeRTOS (with POSIX simulator for build-host testing), VxWorks (structural harness with real VxWorks kernel API calls), QNX (IPC harness with loopback simulation), and SafeRTOS (static-allocation compile-check harness with allowlist scanner). The formal-property proofs are architecture-agnostic — they validate the governance layer logic independent of the specific RTOS target.

Question 9

Is Guardian Posse's PCM^RTOS compliant with CMMC L2 and NIST AI RMF?

Accepted Answer

PCM^RTOS and VeriGate are designed for CMMC L2, NIST AI RMF (MEASURE 2.5), EU AI Act Article 9, and 10 CFR 73.54 compliance. Every governance gate maps to a named regulatory citation. The governance layer is the architecture — not a checkbox report added at the end. 504 patent-pending inventions cover the full governance stack from codec to cross-domain sovereignty (FAM-XD). OSCAL readiness export is available at the platform for audit documentation.
