Pyrate Ruby Red Team (PRRT™)

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.

Structural basis

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.

What PRRT is

Not a moderation team
Not an alignment layer
Not a productized service page

PRRT is an architectural red‑team lens: a deterministic way to surface illegitimacy in systems that can permit or perform consequential actions.

What it can surface

Ghost Authority — power without a declared human source
Authorized Harm — declared authority used outside constraints
Structural Erasure — systems that continue to function while a person disappears

This page is an orientation layer. Operational protocols, checklists, and implementation interfaces are held privately.

Foundational context

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 for the canonical Zenodo sequence.

Current status

PRRT is in the architecture and publication phase. Its operational form and institutional interfaces are intentionally not frozen.

Contact

PRRT™ is not open for general solicitation. Engagements are selective and initiated at the institutional level.
