Signal Protocol v2

A Standardized Framework for Falsifiable AI Reasoning
By Joe Trabocco

Definition

The Signal Protocol v2 is a four-layer reasoning architecture that separates verified fact, consensus interpretation, structural inference, and testable prediction. It provides a replicable path for producing decision-grade AI outputs that can be audited, falsified, and reused across domains.

The Four Layers

Layer 1: Anchored Fact

A verifiable data point confirmed by primary documentation or established knowledge sources.

Layer 2: Consensus Summary

The prevailing public interpretation or narrative used for context.

Layer 3: Structural Inference

A dual-analysis system:
• Primary Signal: the most coherent structural explanation
• Null Hypothesis: the strongest competing explanation

Layer 4: Testable Prediction

A time-bound, falsifiable outcome derived from the Layer 3 collision.

Purpose

The protocol converts AI from summary mode into structured inference. It provides clarity, auditability, and predictive reliability.
