Overview

This theoretical manuscript presents a Cognitive Integrity Framework for multiagent security through trust calculus, defense composition, information-theoretic limits and an adversary hierarchy. The selected Part 1 edition states formal models and assumptions; claims about computational validation and deployment belong to the separately identified Parts 2 and 3. Catalog review checks the source text and provenance, without independently certifying its theorems, security coverage or implementation.
