Replacing speculationwith forensic certainty.

Corporate software failures can no longer shield executives behind claims of ignorance. The Mens Rea Vector establishes a mathematically rigorous forensic methodology that reconstructs organizational knowledge states from digital artifacts, proving executive culpability with prima facie certainty. By combining Judea Pearl's causal inference framework with Tree of Thoughts analysis of development artifacts and Graph of Thoughts aggregation of organizational patterns, this methodology transforms git commits, pull requests, and communications into dispositive evidence of fiduciary breach.

Distributed ledger technology security must transition from cryptographic theory to quantifiable financial metrics. North Korean state actors have stolen $6 billion since 2017, with $2 billion extracted in 2025 alone, demonstrating that theoretical Byzantine fault tolerance provides insufficient protection against sophisticated adversaries. This framework translates consensus-layer security into board-comprehensible risk metrics, establishes fiduciary duties for oversight, and quantifies systemic contagion across interconnected DLT infrastructure using mathematical models validated in traditional financial networks.

This methodology addresses the attribution of corporate liability when automated systems cause consumer harm. Applicable to regulatory submissions involving algorithmic conduct failures, platform integrity issues, and automated decision-making disputes. The framework enables mathematically rigorous causal attribution of algorithmic failures to specific governance breakdowns, supporting evidentiary standards for expert testimony under FRE 702 and Daubert criteria.

Regulatory intelligence brief mapping the convergence of ASIC CP 386, Privacy Act ADM reforms, and ACCC Digital Platform Services Inquiry on a 2026 enforcement horizon. Includes liability exposure matrix, compliance gap analysis, and Board-level governance questions. Contextualizes ACCC v Qantas Airways Ltd [2024] ($100M) and Tomasso v IG Markets Ltd [2025] WASC 338 ($5.5M) precedent.

As computational substrates approach atomic limits, bit-flips induced by cosmic rays introduce non-deterministic errors. The Planck-Scale Liability Model (PSLM) distinguishes 'Force Majeure' form architectural negligence, calculating the statistical probability that a hardware failure was a foreseeable consequence of inadequate radiation hardening.
