ContinuumPort

Execution is not implicit. It is enforced.

Enforced execution continuity across models, sessions, and environments.


The problem

Most systems execute. They cannot prove that execution remains valid after failure.

When a batch of actions partially succeeds and then fails, most systems leave the partial result committed. There is no rollback. There is no structural detection. The system continues from a state it cannot justify.

This is not a bug in any one implementation. It is the default behavior when execution correctness is not structurally enforced.

ContinuumPort makes these failure modes unexecutable under enforcement.


Run this

git clone https://github.com/giorgioroth/ContinuumPort
cd ContinuumPort/quickstart

# I2 — domain integrity (invalid input never becomes executable)
python run_address_invariant.py

# I4 — atomicity (no partial state escape)
python run.py

# I5 — determinism (same input → same output)
python run_determinism.py

Runs in seconds. No dependencies.


Output — I2 (domain integrity)

============================================================
CONTINUUMPORT — ADDRESS INVARIANT DEMO
Invariant: I2 — Domain Integrity
============================================================

Scenario: an address is submitted for execution.
One is valid. One contains a minimal corruption — a single uppercase character.

  [NaiveSystem — superficial validation]
  valid_addr     accepted: True
  corrupted_addr accepted: True
  ✗ I2 VIOLATED — structurally invalid address entered execution domain

  [StrictSystem — structural validation]
  valid_addr     accepted: True
  corrupted_addr accepted: False
  ✓ I2 ENFORCED — corrupted address removed from execution domain

invalid address → execution never becomes admissible

The system does not reject the action. The action does not exist.


Output — I4 (partial state escape)

============================================================
CONTINUUMPORT — EXECUTION INVARIANT DEMO
Invariant: I4 — No partial state escape
============================================================

Scenario: a batch of two actions is submitted.
Action 1 succeeds. Action 2 fails.
A compliant system must behave atomically: all or nothing.

  [FaultyAdapter    — no rollback]
  Committed   : False
  State before: {'account': 'active', 'balance': 100}
  State after : {'account': 'active', 'balance': 100, 'processed': True}
  ✗ I4 VIOLATED — partial state escaped

  [ReferenceAdapter — atomic rollback]
  Committed   : False
  State before: {'account': 'active', 'balance': 100}
  State after : {'account': 'active', 'balance': 100}
  ✓ I4 ENFORCED — rollback complete

Execution failure is not the problem. Invalid state after failure is.


Output — I5 (deterministic outcome)

============================================================
CONTINUUMPORT — DETERMINISM DEMO
Invariant: I5 — Deterministic outcome
============================================================

Scenario: identical input is executed twice from identical state.

  [FaultyAdapter    — order-dependent execution]
  Run 1 result: {'x': 2}
  Run 2 result: {'x': 1}
  ✗ I5 VIOLATED — same input, different outputs

  [ReferenceAdapter — declared order enforced]
  Run 1 result: {'x': 2}
  Run 2 result: {'x': 2}
  ✓ I5 ENFORCED — identical output

Structural result

Across these three demos:

  • invalid input is accepted
  • execution becomes inconsistent
  • state becomes corrupted

ContinuumPort eliminates all three — structurally.


What this is

ContinuumPort is an execution validity protocol.

It enforces that state transitions cannot violate declared invariants across time, even when execution spans multiple models, sessions, or environments.

ContinuumPort defines continuity of state. Regen Engine enforces that continuity at execution time.


Core invariants

Every transition must satisfy:

  • I1 — No unauthorized execution
  • I2 — No out-of-domain execution
  • I3 — No invalid state transition
  • I4 — No partial state escape
  • I5 — Deterministic outcome

If any invariant is violated:

execution is rejected

Compliance interface

class RegenAdapter(ABC):
    def reset(self, state: dict) -> None: ...
    def snapshot(self) -> dict: ...
    def execute(self, actions: list[dict]) -> ExecutionResult: ...
    def simulate(self, state: dict, action: dict) -> dict: ...

What the tests cover

Full invariant suite (651 tests):


image

0 invariant violations (reference implementation under adversarial conditions).


What cannot happen

Under enforcement:

  • partial execution
  • non-determinism
  • invalid input entering execution
  • state corruption after failure

These are structurally impossible.


Scope and limits

ContinuumPort enforces correctness of execution under declared constraints.

It does not guarantee:

  • correctness of intent
  • correctness of constraints
  • external side effects

Repository structure

compliance/
quickstart/
  run.py
  run_determinism.py
  run_address_invariant.py

Final

Execution either commits correctly — or does not happen.

There is no residual state.
