Beyond Probabilistic AI: A Deterministic Framework for Ethical, Explainable, and Fully Offline Machine Decision Systems
Gough, Timothy M. · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2025
This white paper introduces DAIOS, the Deterministic AI Operating System—an offline, rule-bounded, ethics-governed computational architecture designed to replace probabilistic AI mechanisms in safety-critical and infrastructure applications. DAIOS formalizes deterministic execution, traceable state evolution, embedded ethical scoring, and hardware-invariant reproducibility. A U.S. non-provisional patent application covering this architecture was filed on Nov. 25, 2025.
