Non-interpretive notice

What EMJ.life does

• Captures observed behaviour as append-only evidence records (D-021)
• Anchors evidence cryptographically (V-Layer Merkle + OpenTimestamps → Bitcoin)
• Emits artefacts in IFRS S2 / ESRS / GRI / SASB / CBAM-compatible formats — format only (D-024)
• Publishes DOI-anchored disclosure landings via Crossref
• Carries this disclaimer on every API response envelope and every public page

What EMJ.life does not emit

• ESG ratings or risk scores
• Credit grades or counterparty-risk decisions
• Audit / assurance opinions (we are not an assurance provider — D-037)
• Investment advice or recommendations
• Composite governance scores or compliance maturity scores
• Performance signals derived from participation structure (D-023)

Constitutional articles

The D-001 boundary is extended and operationalised by 21 articles. All are immutable; corrections are by compensating append.

• D-001

  Non-interpretive

  Nothing emitted by EMJ.life constitutes an ESG rating, credit grade, assurance opinion, or investment advice.

• D-020

  Identity uniqueness

  Every legal subject is identified by the triple (legalIdType, legalIdValue, jurisdictionCode); duplicates are rejected at ingest.

• D-021

  Append-only evidence

  No UPDATE or DELETE is permitted on b1a, padv, aeu, vlayer, ntcc, doi, or audit_log. Correction is by compensating append.

• D-022

  Quality gate only

  Validation may reject a record on quality grounds but never disqualifies the participant. The subject remains in good standing.

• D-023

  Non-Optimization

  Internal value reflects participation structure, not performance. This principle is absolute.

• D-024

  Format conformance is not endorsement

  Emitting an IFRS S2, ESRS, GRI, or SASB-shaped artefact attests format conformance only and confers no endorsement of the underlying claims.

• D-025

  Operator neutrality (from 2026-01-01)

  Per S8/D2.19, the operator is structurally neutral: no operator-side interest in any subject's evidence outcome from 2026-01-01.

• D-026

  Multi-framework interoperability

  Evidence is emitted in shapes compatible with multiple frameworks; no single-framework lock-in is permitted.

• D-027

  Cross-system reconciliation

  Every record carries an external_ids manifest so that downstream systems can reconcile without re-keying.

• D-028

  Timestamp monotonicity

  evidence_event_seq is strictly monotonic per subject; anti-rewind guards reject any out-of-order ingest.

• D-029

  Subject access rights

  Subjects may exercise access via the PET request flow; GDPR erasure is honoured after a documented cooling-off period.

• D-030

  Operator-recused mutations

  Any back-office change requires a governance_decisions entry; operator self-service mutation is prohibited.

• D-031

  ICTF-tier neutrality

  EMJ must not expose a public N-tier credibility ladder mapped to NTCC thresholds. Any internal eligibility heuristic remains opaque-to-bank and is not appended to DOI metadata (AUDIT_R5 §2; ICTF v2 §1.2/§2.2/§3).

• D-032

  V-Layer-not-clearing

  V-Layer publishes evidence records; it does not clear, settle, route, or translate transactions between sovereign systems. SWIFT/VISA-of-ESG framing is prohibited in all papers and marketing (AUDIT_R5 §2; PADV-V-LAYER §1.4/§2.7).

• D-033

  Account-freeze prohibition

  No EMJ subsystem may auto-freeze, auto-disqualify, or zero an account based on integrity-derived signals. Suspension is INC manual-only with an appeal channel; this extends D-013 / D-022 (AUDIT_R5 §2; STRC v3 §3.2, ICTF v2 l.1534).

• D-034

  SFA non-coinage

  EMJ does not coin, define, or operate a 'Sustainable Finance Assurance' protocol. Any finance-facing read remains pull-only DOI metadata via Crossref (AUDIT_R5 §2; Op-WP v2 §7.3.4).

• D-035

  Tier-6 prohibition

  No AI-verified governance tier above L5 may be advertised, schematized, or emitted. The `tier_level` enum is forbidden in code, schema, and public surface (AUDIT_R5 §2; extends R4 retraction list).

• D-036

  Op-WP v2 redaction mandate

  Prior to PoC (2026-05-30), Op-WP v2 must be re-published as v2.1 with §7.3.4, Basel, and SFA clauses redacted, and its DOI re-minted (AUDIT_R5 §2; Op-WP v2.0). Retracted-DOI pointers MUST be persisted in doi_retractions with status='SUPERSEDED', retracted_at, superseded_by, and a non-interpretive retraction_reason. The retracted DOIs scheduled by R26ζ are: Op-WP v2.0 (10.5281/zenodo.emj-op-wp-v2) → superseded by Op-WP v2.1 (2026-05-20); STRC v3 §3.2 (10.5281/zenodo.emj-strc-v3) → superseded by STRC v3.1 (2026-05-22); ICTF v2 public ladder (10.5281/zenodo.emj-ictf-v2) → superseded by ICTF v2.1 (2026-05-24); PADV-V-LAYER v1 (10.5281/zenodo.emj-padv-v-layer-v1) → superseded by PADV-V-LAYER v1.1 (2026-05-26).

• D-037

  Assurance Compatibility

  EMJ.life is assurance-compatible, not an assurance provider. Records produced by the evidence layer MUST be consumable by ISAE 3000 / ISAE 3410 / IFRS ISSB assurance procedures without requiring re-keying, but EMJ never substitutes for the assurance opinion. The platform appends evidence; assurance providers append opinions. The two boundaries are non-fungible and never collapsed in code, schema, or public copy.

• D-038

  Evidence Integrity Compound

  Evidence value compounds across three layers — Participation (C2B), Operational (B2C), and Industrial (B2B). The platform MUST preserve continuity across these layers via external_ids manifest and DOI provenance chain. No layer may be aggregated, averaged, imputed, or otherwise interpolated; doing so would convert evidence into estimate and violate D-001 + D-023.

• D-039

  Three-Layer Moat

  EMJ's institutional position rests on three non-technical moats: (1) evidence accumulated in real high-entropy scenarios; (2) the knowledge system sealed in DOI whitepapers defining institutional language; (3) institutional authorization tracks (e.g. active engagement with IFRS Foundation / SASB on Level III commercial licence). No product, API, or copy decision may weaken any of these three layers in exchange for short-term feature velocity (see docs/POSITIONING_moat.md).

Retracted DOIs

Whitepapers superseded by a republication. Each row carries a non-interpretive retraction reason and points to the successor DOI.
