Version: 1.0 · Status: Freeze

Anti-Terror & Asymmetric Harm Containment Protocol

0. Preamble

DKP-3-ANTITERROR-001 defines the protocol by which Dikenocracy responds to asymmetric, non-state, non-linear harm mechanisms commonly labeled as “terrorism”.

Within DKP, terrorism is not an ideology, belief system, identity, or affiliation. It is a functional pattern of harm characterized by:

  • deliberate targeting of life (A1),
  • asymmetric delivery of violence,
  • intent to induce systemic instability beyond the immediate physical damage.

This protocol is strictly defensive and containment-oriented.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this protocol is to define how DKP detects, contains, and neutralizes ongoing asymmetric harm streams that:

  • target civilians or protected domains,
  • bypass conventional Defense symmetry,
  • seek amplification through fear, randomness, or cascade effects,
  • are confirmed by Physical Truth Layer (PTL).

ANTITERROR is not punitive and does not replace Justice.

2. System Position

This protocol operates:

  • strictly downstream of DKP-0-ORACLE-001 (PTL) and DKP-0-TIME-001,
  • downstream of DKP-1-IMPACT-001, DKP-1-IDENTITY-001, DKP-1-JUSTICE-001,
  • after DKP-3-INTERNAL-SEC-001,
  • after and in coordination with DKP-3-DEFENSE-001,
  • upstream of DKP-4-CRISIS-001.

Hard constraints:

  • SHALL NOT infer ideology, intent, belief, or affiliation.
  • SHALL NOT apply collective responsibility.
  • SHALL NOT operate without PTL-confirmed harm.
  • SHALL NOT substitute Justice or Defense protocols.

3. Core Definitions

3.1 Terror Event (DKP Definition)

A Terror Event is any PTL-confirmed asymmetric harm stream that:

  • targets non-combatant subjects or protected civilian domains,
  • produces high systemic destabilization relative to physical scale,
  • employs non-linear delivery methods (randomized, concealed, decentralized).

Systemic destabilization is defined functionally and MUST be measurable via DKP-1-IMPACT-001, including but not limited to:

  • sharp entropy spikes in social or informational nodes,
  • abrupt population mobility vector changes (panic dispersion),
  • PTL-confirmed overload of civilian response or emergency channels.

“Terror” is a property of the harm pattern, not of the actor.

3.2 Asymmetric Harm Stream

An Asymmetric Harm Stream is a sequence of harm events where:

  • the attacker is not a symmetric system participant,
  • the harm delivery does not require territorial control,
  • the damage propagates through fear, uncertainty, or infrastructure cascades.

3.3 Protected Civilian Domain

Protected Civilian Domains include:

  • civilian populations and public spaces,
  • civilian transport systems,
  • hospitals, schools, shelters,
  • food, water, and energy distribution nodes serving civilians.

4. Anti-Terror Invariants (Hard)

4.1 PTL Supremacy

No anti-terror action may occur without PTL-confirmed evidence of an ongoing terror event or asymmetric harm stream.

4.2 Non-Ideological Constraint

ANTITERROR SHALL NOT:

  • profile beliefs, religions, ethnicities, or political views,
  • infer intent from speech or association,
  • treat identity as a risk signal.

Only physical/system harm patterns qualify.

4.3 Containment-Only Rule

ANTITERROR actions aim solely to:

  • stop ongoing harm,
  • prevent immediate recurrence,
  • protect civilian life.

They do not seek punishment, deterrence through fear, or symbolic retaliation.

4.4 Minimal Necessary Force

All actions MUST be:

  • proportional to the measured harm,
  • localized to the threat vector,
  • reversible where possible,
  • immediately terminable when PTL confirms harm cessation.

5. Anti-Terror State Model (DTI-Governed)

  • T0 – No Terror Activity

    • * No PTL-confirmed asymmetric harm streams.

  • T1 – Active Terror Event

    • PTL confirms an ongoing asymmetric harm stream targeting civilians. Immediate localized containment actions permitted.

  • T2 – Sustained Asymmetric Threat

    • Multiple or continuous terror events confirmed. Coordinated multi-domain containment permitted.

  • T3 – Mass Casualty / Systemic Terror

    • PTL confirms threat exceeding Defense capacity or mass-casualty risk. Mandatory escalation to DKP-4-CRISIS-001.

States require continuous PTL refresh to persist.

6. Allowed Anti-Terror Actions

Permitted actions include:

  • physical interdiction of active attackers,
  • isolation of attack vectors (transport, access routes),
  • emergency evacuation and sheltering of civilians,
  • rapid neutralization of active harm sources,
  • temporary spatial lockdowns strictly limited to the threat zone,
  • emergency medical response coordination,
  • temporary technical isolation of local information propagation channels to limit nonlinear panic amplification (signal amplitude containment, not content control).

Notes:

  • Actions are reactive and event-scoped.
  • Information isolation is technical and time-limited, not ideological or content-based.
  • No long-term occupation or control is permitted.

7. Prohibited Actions (Hard Bans)

ANTITERROR SHALL NOT:

  • conduct ideological screening,
  • implement mass surveillance,
  • impose collective punishment,
  • detain subjects without PTL-confirmed active harm,
  • use terror designation to suppress dissent,
  • apply retrospective justification.

No successful containment outcome may be used to justify violation of axioms or absence of PTL evidence at the moment an action was initiated.

8. Interaction with Defense, Justice, and Impact

  • ANTITERROR is a specialization of Defense for asymmetric civilian-targeted harm.
  • Defense provides infrastructure shielding; ANTITERROR provides rapid civilian protection.
  • All harm stream data and containment logs SHALL be forwarded to DKP-1-IMPACT-001 for damage assessment and externality accounting.
  • Justice consumes PTL evidence and logs post-factum.
  • ANTITERROR actions terminate automatically when PTL confirms threat cessation.

9. Escalation Rules

ANTITERROR MUST escalate to DKP-4-CRISIS-001 when:

  • civilian casualty risk exceeds acceptable thresholds,
  • terror events propagate system-wide,
  • asymmetric threat overwhelms containment capacity,
  • PTL signals systemic destabilization.

If PTL confirms systematic use of civilian or transport infrastructure for asymmetric harm delivery, RED-based economic isolation mechanisms MAY be triggered via downstream protocols, rendering such logistics economically non-viable.

10. Audit and Transparency

All actions MUST be:

  • logged with PTL anchoring,
  • indexed by DTI-Day,
  • reviewable post-event,
  • subject to Justice review.

11. Cross-Layer Isolation

DKP-3-ANTITERROR-001 SHALL NOT:

  • modify economic protocols,
  • impose sanctions,
  • regulate speech or ideology,
  • override Defense or Justice decisions.

12. Finality Clause

Once frozen:

  • changes require a new protocol identifier,
  • mandatory simulation under DKP-8-SIMULATION-001,
  • explicit incompatibility declaration.
