bootstrap plan three-stage bootstrap for the cyber execution stack. like GCC: system compiler → self-host → proven self-host. each stage upgrades trust level. Rust = untrusted bootstrap + fast jets. Trident = proven canonical implementation. dual-language invariant at every level: `∀ f, x:…

inf bootstrap inf starts as CozoDB and shrinks it to zero, the way trident started as Rust. CozoDB is vendored in rs/cozo as the bootstrap executor; over four stages it is replaced by the native nox path, and removed. CozoDB is the scaffold, not the design — inf-pure is defined by the Trident…

round constant generation Hemera generates her own round constants. No external primitives. The permutation structure (S-box x^7, matrices M_E and M_I, round flow 4+16+4) is fully defined before constants exist. With all constants set to zero, the permutation is still a well-defined nonlinear…
