Node-edge symbolic consent kernel for real-time ethical computation and verified human intent execution

A node-edge symbolic consent kernel (NESCK) provides a computing architecture in which every instruction is gated by a verifiable human-intent signal and an ethical-predicate chain prior to execution. The system integrates a biometric-sensing front-end (EEG / GSR / facial micro-affect), a symbolic arbitration engine that transforms bio-intent data into consent tokens, and a cryptographically bonded node-edge ledger that records execution lineage, revocation, and audit proofs. Each node represents an executable state bound to a human consent fingerprint, while each edge encodes the ethical transition rules authorizing propagation through the network. At runtime, the kernel evaluates symbolic predicates, verifies zero-knowledge proofs of consent, and allows or halts instruction dispatch. The framework operates across devices, edge nodes, and cloud layers, enabling real-time lawful AI behavior, revocable autonomy, and tamper-proof moral audit trails. Embodiments span neuroadaptive wearables, autonomous vehicles, robotics controllers, and sovereign AI systems requiring continuous consent and transparent accountability.
