Some systems fail because of bugs. Some fail because of bias. Some fail because their authority was never legitimate to begin with.
The Pyrate Ruby Red Team (PRRT) is a structural red‑team capability for decision‑permitting systems. It evaluates legitimacy at the level of declared authority and subject integrity, using two closed primitive sets: the Three Governance Primitives and the ADCI value layer.
PRRT uses the Twisted Pair legitimacy architecture:
L = δ × (A ∧ D ∧ C ∧ I)
Where: δ = declared authority legitimacy (purpose, named human authority, constraints) A = Agency D = Dignity C = Continuity I = Interpretive Authority
If any term collapses to zero, the system may still function, but it does so without structural legitimacy.
PRRT is an architectural red‑team lens: a deterministic way to surface illegitimacy in systems that can permit or perform consequential actions.
This page is an orientation layer. Operational protocols, checklists, and implementation interfaces are held privately.
PRRT emerges from the formal record, including the Three Governance Primitives, the Law of Declared Authority, the Adjacency Lemma, the Ghost Authority Lemma, and the ADCI closure results. See Formal Records
PRRT is in the architecture and publication phase. Its operational form and institutional interfaces are intentionally not frozen.
PRRT™ is not open for general solicitation. Engagements are selective and initiated at the institutional level.
