🦍 guerillaGorilla

Accountability infrastructure. The Provenance Trio applied to public oversight.

"Beside the small. Against unaccountable power. For the record."

What This Is

guerillaGorilla is a methodology meta-primal — not a binary you compile, but a coordination pattern that emerged when cryptographic provenance infrastructure was applied to public accountability under real operational pressure.

The pattern was discovered, not designed. It appeared independently in legal work (10+ cases, 124+ archived artifacts, 2 counties) without reference to the formal papers where the Provenance Trio was first defined for science. This makes it the fourth independent instantiation of the same three-layer architecture.

The Sensory Triad

Three sensing modalities, named from evolutionary biology:

👂fEAR — HOW WE HEAREvidence intake, OSINT collection, signal detection. Event-driven, discrete, receive-only. Long range. Adversary actions as fuel.

👃preSCENT — HOW WE SMELLPattern recognition, network mapping, graph analysis. State-driven, gradients, bidirectional. Close range. Ambient presence broadcast.

🦶STRIDe — HOW WE MOVEFiling, publication, strategic action. Continuous, proprioceptive. Self range. R⇄I loop, deployment cadence.

The Provenance Trio — Four Instantiations

The same three-layer architecture keeps appearing independently across domains:

Domain	Ephemeral Layer	Certificate Layer	Attribution Layer
Science (original)	rhizoCrypt	loamSpine	sweetGrass
Gaming	Session DAG	Achievement chain	Creative credits
Medical	Clinical session	Protocol registry	Contribution tracking
Legal	fossilRecord	CASE_REGISTRY	GRAPH_DATA

amicusContra — The Outward Function

The newest capability. Three directions of projection:

Downward: stabilize those beneath — prepare rooms, infrastructure as service
Lateral: work with those who are like — cross-protection, mutual defense
Upward: hold those above to account — force reproducibility, same standard as science

The Dispersal Pattern

Any domain that produces typed, citable claims with verifiable sources can produce a .primals.eco site. The substrate is domain-agnostic — each site owns its registries and edge grammar; litho-core provides the common plumbing.

detroit.primals.eco is the reference implementation. This site documents the methodology. Future case studies inherit the same pattern.
