Security Blueprint for Ternary Logic Smart Contracts

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive defense-in-depth security analysis for the Ternary Logic (TL) Smart Contract Constitutional Suite. The analysis models adversarial threats not merely as code exploits but as economic attacks: governance capture, oracle manipulation, MEV front-running, flash loan price manipulation, chain reorganizations, and censorship. Security goals are defined for each TL constitutional invariant including NL=NA enforcement, Epistemic Hold bypass prevention, Refuse state finality, tamper-evident Decision Logs, elimination of God Mode access, and Anchor verifiability. The blueprint maps specific contract-level controls, operational controls, and verification metrics to each of the eight foundational pillars of the TL framework. The V2.0 implementation references TL_Ledger_Core.sol and TL_Evidence_Vault.sol as the on-chain enforcement layer, with the Dual-Lane Latency Architecture establishing the 2ms Inference Lane and 300ms Governance Lane timing constraints that the security model must preserve under all attack conditions. The No Log = No Action invariant G(execute implies P(escrow_recorded and auditable)) is the constitutional mechanism that no off-chain bypass can circumvent. The Tri-Cameral governance model comprising the Technical Council, Stewardship Custodians, and Smart Contract Treasury is analyzed as the institutional defense against capture. Formal verification targets, fuzzing strategies, third-party audit cadence, and incident response runbooks complete the security assurance framework.
