# Cognitive Integrity Framework: Formal Foundations for Multiagent Security (Part 1: Theory)

**Daniel Ari Friedman** (2026) · Cognitive Security

## Instructions

Use this skill when working with topics related to **cognitive integrity, multiagent security, cognitive security, Active Inference**.

When applying this skill:
1. Apply formal methods to cognitive security in multiagent systems
1. Design category-theoretic frameworks for cognitive integrity

## Key Concepts

- **cognitive integrity**
- **multiagent security**
- **cognitive security**
- **Active Inference**
- **category theory**
- **formal foundations**
- **threat modeling**

## Methods & Techniques

- Formal modeling of cognitive states and integrity properties.
- Trust computation and algebra to assess security postures.
- Anomaly detection techniques including cognitive drift scoring and behavioral deviation.
- Architectural and runtime defense strategies designed for cognitive systems.

## Key Findings

- Cognitive systems are vulnerable to unique attack vectors that traditional security measures do not address.
- The proposed framework enhances the detection and mitigation of cognitive attacks.
- Trust boundedness is crucial for maintaining the integrity of cognitive systems.
- The research identifies gaps in current security practices and suggests improvements.

## Prerequisites

- Information security and risk management
- Cognitive science and sensemaking frameworks
