🧠 TruthSpec Manifest: Consensus Mode Switcher
This manifest defines the behavioral contract, transition logic, and mutation context for QuantumChain’s consensus mode switcher. It ensures that mode transitions reflect system health, validator telemetry, and governance intent—not arbitrary scheduling.
✅ Semantic Contract
| Element |
Description |
| Intent |
Dynamically adjust consensus behavior based on entropy, telemetry, and governance |
| Trigger Conditions |
Entropy signal, validator health, emergency flags, governance override |
| Behavioral Promise |
Mode transitions are deterministic, observable, and reversible |
| Mutation Safety |
Transitions are blocked during emergency halt or invalid telemetry |
| Observability |
Mode changes logged with cause, timestamp, and validator context |
| Governance Influence |
Certain modes (e.g. UPGRADE_MUTABLE) require signed proposals |

🧭 Notes
The consensus mode switcher is QuantumChain’s adaptive brainstem. It interprets entropy, governance, and validator health to orchestrate consensus behavior with precision and accountability.
