Proof of Law
The Demonstration
This is not a feature tour.
It is a proof of law.
Step 1 — Create
A document is created and submitted.
The system produces:
- A balanced, auditable outcome
- An immutable event record
- Bi-temporal timestamps (valid time + transaction time)
Nothing is configurable at execution.
The Golden Path is followed.
Step 2 — Approve
A legal approval transition occurs.
The decision is:
- Recorded as immutable events
- Linked to the original submission
- Traceable to the approving authority
No approval can be retroactively modified.
What was approved remains approved as-of that moment.
Step 3 — Correct
An error is discovered.
A correction is required.
The correction:
- Does not modify history
- Creates new corrective events
- Preserves the original state
- Links correction to original
History is never rewritten.
It is corrected by addition.
Step 4 — Time Travel
Reconstruct the state as-of a past point in time.
The system shows:
- Exact state at that moment
- Exact reasons for that state
- All events that contributed
This is not a backup restore.
It is bi-temporal reconstruction.
Step 5 — Replay
Replay the decision pipeline.
Provide the same inputs.
Execute the same logic.
Observe the same result.
Determinism: same input → same outcome.
If replay produces a different result, the system has failed.
Conclusion
If a decision cannot be replayed under audit, it is not a decision.
It is an opinion.
PMFA does not store opinions.
PMFA records law.
This demonstration proves one thing:
Reality can be reconstructed.
If your system cannot do this, it cannot be trusted.
