No AI in the number — sealed boundary on the wire

Entropy Index published its sealed boundary on Aug. 6: zero AI touching the engine. Travis-signed physics, period-correct evidence, and sealed constants — not a model retuned after the chart is drawn.

What we will say

Data in. Score out — zero AI touching the engine.

Same inputs, same score — act on it while conventional gauges are still quiet.

One sealed formula on the live Index and every backtest — formulaic result, not narrative. Scoring is deterministic under sealed physics. Zero AI touching the engine: AI may structure evidence and read the face; it does not write the number.

What we will not say

We will not put generative scoring in the number. We will not retune the freeze to manufacture lead. We will not mix Maxwell output into pass/fail.

Q&A

Does AI write the score?
One sealed formula on the live Index and every backtest — formulaic result, not narrative. Scoring is deterministic under sealed physics. Zero AI touching the engine: AI may structure evidence and read the face; it does not write the number.
What does Maxwell do?
Maxwell is the company operating system — proposes drafts and ops. It does not send, publish, or retune physics.
What rides on paid x402 reads?
Receipt and V5-locked (1.19.0) physics hash — not a generative summary posing as the number.
