R3 is a universal reasoning framework designed to bring structural logic, safety constraints, and invariants into modern statistical AI systems.
It introduces a multi-layer architecture composed of a secure reasoning kernel (R3CORE), a modular orchestration layer (R3-SHELL), and a suite of vertical AI applications (R3-APPS).

At a glance

Layer 1 — R3CORE

Secure, minimal, immutable reasoning kernel enforcing invariants and paradox detection.

Layer 2 — R3-SHELL

Orchestration + knowledge layer that structures prompts, routes knowledge packs, and mediates access to the kernel.

Layer 3 — R3-APPS

Vertical domain engines (math, audit, security, medical triage…) built on top of R3CORE via the shell.

Architecture overview


1) Introduction

Modern AI systems provide high semantic richness but often lack structural consistency. LLMs may hallucinate, violate constraints, and fail on critical tasks involving safety, finance, medical triage, or software correctness. R3 addresses this gap by introducing a logic engine capable of:
  • detecting fundamental paradoxes (Liar, Russell, Sorites),
  • enforcing algebraic and structural invariants across domains.
  1. R3CORE — secure kernel implementing ICD logic and order-based reasoning
  2. R3-SHELL — orchestration and knowledge layer
  3. R3-APPS — domain engines (e.g., R3-MATH, R3-AUDIT, R3-SEC)

2) Layer 1 — R3CORE: The Secure Kernel

Design principles

Modifications are allowed only by the CORE team.
Code and internal structures are hidden from external module developers.
Contains only universal logic; no domain semantics.

Core responsibilities

Security model

  • Zero direct access from outside components
  • Read-only interface exposed through R3-SHELL
  • Controlled loading of KEP modules

3) Layer 2 — R3-SHELL: The Orchestration Layer

Purpose

R3-SHELL is the “operating system” of R3. It interfaces between natural language inputs, LLMs, knowledge packs, and the secure kernel. Its role is to transform raw prompts into structured representations suitable for R3CORE.

Responsibilities

Orchestrates GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and custom R3 models.
Maintains structured context, symbolic memory, and knowledge graph utilities.
Loads Knowledge Expansion Packs, validates them, and routes them to the right pipelines.
Provides pattern matching, role inference, and dependency graph construction.
Applies safety filtering before and after kernel evaluation.

Why the shell is essential

Multiple teams can work on vertical logic modules without ever accessing or modifying the core. The shell defines the extension and knowledge interface.

4) Layer 3 — R3-APPS (Vertical Engines)

R3-APPS are vertical engines powered by R3COREX.

R3COREX

LLM amplification engine.

R3-MATH

Symbolic mathematics reasoning.

R3-AUDIT

Document, contract, and compliance validation.

R3-SEC

IAM and cybersecurity reasoning engine.

R3-MED

Medical triage and safety protocols.
Each engine:
  • calls R3-SHELL,
  • receives structured input from the shell,
  • calls R3CORE for logic validation.

5) Knowledge Packs (KEP)

Definition

KEP are structured YAML modules describing:
  • invariants,
  • boundaries,
  • numeric thresholds,
  • role mapping,
  • pattern rules,
  • structural relations.
KEP are designed to keep knowledge modular and domain-specific logic decoupled from the secure kernel.

Horizontal KEP (universal)

Loaded universally:
  • Temporal logic
  • State/mutex logic
  • Set theory
  • Critical thresholds
  • R3-Math foundations

Vertical KEP (domain-specific)

Specific to domains such as:
  • DeFi, Finance, AML
  • IAM, Security
  • Medical triage
  • Industrial safety
  • Law & governance

6) R3-Powered LLMs

R3 enables families of hybrid reasoning systems:

R3-Lite

Edge LLMs + R3COREX.

R3-Pro

GPT-4o-mini-level models boosted toward GPT-4 accuracy.

R3-Max

High-accuracy systems with “zero hallucination” objective.

R3-Hybrid

Multi-backend LLM orchestration.

7) Conclusion

R3 defines a new paradigm for AI systems: statistical models become structurally consistent through a logic kernel, and knowledge becomes modular through KEP. This architecture establishes a secure, extensible, and industrial reasoning infrastructure for the coming decade.
