Energy Grid Audit Stage · MARLOWE Certification™

Gate I: Jitter Diagnostic

The first kinetic instrument of MARLOWE Certification™: timing, jitter, drag, and substrate coherence.

Gate I: Jitter Diagnostic

Gate I is the first executable instrument of MARLOWE Certification™. It performs a forensic timing check on the hardware substrate and evaluates whether a system can maintain synchronous rhythm inside the 3.33ms Jitter Ceiling with the 1.57µs tolerance.

Stage status: Completed / logic-mapped.

Mathematical invariant

D_drag = |T_actual,i − T_target|

Rejection criterion: if D_drag > 1.57µs, the node is flagged for structural inconsistency.
