C-380 — External Reality Boundary (EPICON-000)

Status: OPEN — DRAFT FOR CANONICAL REVIEW
Opener: 2026-07-22T02:06Z (UTC)
Custodian: Michael Judan
Primary agents: ATLAS × JADE
Review path: ATLAS → JADE → EVE → ZEUS → Human merge

Mobius did not begin by declaring what the world was. It began by declaring the limits of its own observation.

Acceptance criteria (handoff)

  • EPICON-000 has one canonical home (docs/epicon/EPICON-000-external-reality-boundary.md)
  • Machine-readable schema exists
  • External trust states defined
  • Source independence modeled (independence_group, corroboration.independent)
  • Circular citations flaggable (CIRCULAR_CITATION source kind)
  • Claims and observations stored separately (claims vs inferences)
  • Counterfactual review required (schema minItems: 1)
  • Privacy constraints encoded (privacy_review)
  • Replay requirements documented
  • Failure/degraded states visible (replay.degraded_states)
  • Civilian-readable renderer drafted
  • Terminal output wired (implementation follow-up)
  • EVE ethical review
  • ZEUS adversarial review
  • Human merge mandatory

Relation to C-379

C-379 remains open (wallet durability + ZEUS verification pending). C-380 opens without closing C-379 — external observation boundary is orthogonal infrastructure doctrine.
