Three-Tier Intent Fidelity Intent at three fidelity tiers, full cognitive-state broadcast, structured partial-fidelity bus extraction, behavior-inferred attribution, fused via composite admissibility.Tier-Weighted Admissibility Tier-weighted admissibility weights intent contributions by fidelity tier, Tier 1 highest, Tier 2 moderate, Tier 3 lowest, combining them into single coherent estimates.Behavior-Inferred Intent as Governed Observation Behavior-inferred intent produces a governed observation with the inferring unit's credential, the inferred operator's identifier, the inference function reference, and the supporting cues.Verification-Feedback Inference Function Evolution Each behavior-inferred intent observation is recorded with its inference function and later compared against the inferred unit's observed action. Verification outcomes update inference-function track record and drive inference-function refinement through governed training.Inference Function Evolution Under Aggregated Feedback Aggregated verification observations modulate inference function parameters. Functions that match gain weight; functions that miss are demoted; new functions are sandbox-tested.Risk vs Hostility Profile Bifurcation Competence-based operator risk and intent-based hostility are structurally separated as distinct profiles, the hostility profile credentialed by law-enforcement, judicial, and regulatory authorities under stricter due-process privacy governance.Due-Process Credentialing for Adverse Classifications Hostility attribution credentialed by competent authorities under multi-source provenance, stricter privacy tiers, and lineage-recorded consumption in a governed spatial mesh.Cross-Domain Adversarial Inference The adversarial-intent inference mechanism of U.S. Provisional 64/049,409 detects adversarial signatures, classifies hostile intent, and selects graduated counter-action across civilian, commercial, industrial, emergency-response, and defense domains under credentialed governance.Protective-Order Integration With Operator-Intent Inference How a restraining-order or protective-order constraint enters the governed spatial mesh as a credentialed legal-constraint attribute from a judicial authority source class, evaluated against the source's authority and governed under due-process privacy tiers.Counter-Action Selection Under Hostility Classification Adversarial-intent inference produces a graduated counter-action selected by governance policy, not an automatic counter-attack. Each counter-action is admissibility-evaluated against the composite framework and lineage-recorded.
