  If you use Ripple_Logic in research, implementation, or governance work,
  please cite it using the metadata below. Pin downstream work to the
  canonical filename and SHA-256 from the release manifest per Section 0.6
  of the Foundation Paper. Do not cite variant copies, forks, or regenerated
  versions — only the byte-identical canonical artifact is authoritative.

abstract: >
  Ripple_Logic is a general-purpose ethical operating system for
  rights-constrained, ripple-aware governance and AI alignment. It
  operationalizes Union-Based Ethics (UBE) as a strict five-level
  lexicographic cascade — NCRC, TRC, Containment, RLS, UCI/HOI — applied
  to a 49-cell welfare matrix (7 Union Scopes × 7 Welfare Dimensions).
  Tier 1–3 are implementable and claimable from the Foundation Paper.
  Tier 4 is a design target pending ProofPack publication.
