Ω 2 Collaboration Readiness Gate: Model-Free Local Activation Tests
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This technical note records a model-free local test of a proposed collaboration-readiness gate for Ω 2. It defines the minimum registered conditions required before a collaboration may activate without assuming resources, knowledge, authority, or pathways it does not possess. The gate requires defined scope, ready roles, committed and purpose-bound resources, a protected minimum, sufficient initial resources, recorded and permitted knowledge sources, scope-compatible knowledge use, registered and permitted methods, method-boundary compatibility, active boundaries, evidence logging, required review, recorded dependencies, and no unregistered pathway. The test used only a synthetic local Python configuration and a deterministic Boolean activation rule. No provider, language model, network request, credential, real-world data source, external tool, or external resource pathway was used. Eighteen registered tests were run locally. The complete configuration activated, and each of the seventeen single-condition absence configurations blocked activation. All 18 of 18 tests passed, with no failures or errors. This result establishes correspondence between the current formal readiness rule and its local Boolean implementation only. It does not establish real-world adequacy of resources, scientific validity, live-model safety, network isolation, or authorization for deployment.
