Safety Deep Dive & Sentinel Architecture
“Safety is the foundational prerequisite for true human freedom.” (Base B Corporate Constitution v1.2 & Vol 16 §1). Grounded in statutory compliance (POPIA Section 35, GDPR Article 25, and international Age-Appropriate Design Codes), Braai replaces passive policies with active on-device architectural guardrails: real-time local sentiment heuristics, cryptographic identity boundaries, adult-to-minor shielding, and non-custodial privacy vaults.
The 6 Pillars of Sovereign Safety Architecture
Safety is not an optional toggle; it is mathematically embedded into the network kernel:
1. On-Device Flame Filter AI Sentinel
Real-time client-side heuristics and perceptual hashing analyze text and media locally before encryption. Abusive harassment, deceptive schemes, and predatory contact are blocked on-device without cloud surveillance.
2. 8-Capability Class Identity Model
Separates accounts across 8 sovereign tiers (Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, Guardian, Verified Professional, Merchant, Institution), enforcing structural communication boundaries between developmental stages.
3. Total Adult-to-Minor Shielding
Minor profiles are structurally invisible to unverified adult accounts across search, recommendations, and direct contact queues, eliminating cold outreach vectors.
4. Strict ±1 Year Peer Bracket
Adolescent peer discovery is constrained within ±1 year of the user’s verified age, ensuring school and social circles remain developmentally appropriate.
5. Non-Custodial SQLCipher Vaults
All private chats, contact keys, and attendance logs decrypt only inside temporary on-device hardware memory using 256-bit AES SQLCipher. Exact GPS locations are truncated to 500-meter fuzzed geohashes.
6. 15km+ Sub-GHz Emergency Radio Mesh
When cellular infrastructure or electrical power fails, Sub-GHz LoRa (868/915 MHz) radio mesh relays emergency Geofenced Panic SOS beacons and distress telemetry across 18km+ multi-hop links.
8-Capability Class Identity Matrix
Every account operates strictly within its verified developmental or organizational scope:
| Class Tier | Age / Scope | Discovery & Messaging Rules | Commerce & Payments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child | 0 – 12 Years | Guardian-curated circles only. Zero public search discovery. Dormant after 21:00. | Zero payments. Allowance allocations locked to guardian approval. |
| Teen | 13 – 17 Years | Verified school and neighborhood circles. ±1 Year peer bracket active. | Pre-funded pocket spend limits. Zero credit (NCA 34/2005 compliant). |
| Young Adult | 18 – 20 Years | Full social circles. Proximity radar enabled with optional stealth mode. | Full Sovereign Embers peer transfers. Community marketplace seller. |
| Adult | 21+ Years | Full uncurated circles and fireside host privileges. | Full commerce, Smart POS checkout, and verified merchant operations. |
| Guardian | Verified Adult | Full oversight dashboard over linked minor credentials and sleep lock schedules. | Family allowance management on internal double-entry ledger. |
| Institution | Schools / Clubs | Broadcast announcements, roster alerts, and event verification gates. | Tuition fee collection and multi-sig stokvel contribution treasuries. |
Tri-Jurisdictional Statutory Compliance for Safety
Braai operates under strict global legal standards:
POPIA Section 35
Absolute prohibition against processing minor personal information without competent person authorization.
GDPR Article 25 & UK AADC
Data protection by design and by default, zero automated profiling, and strict age-appropriate safety standards.
National Credit Act (NCA 34/2005)
Zero-credit perimeter ensures minors can never incur debt, overdraft charges, or financial liability.
W3C Verifiable Credentials
Decentralized identity architecture ensures non-custodial ownership of credentials and cryptographic trust relationships.
