# Frozen Evidence Baseline `IK_MASTER_PROGRAM_FREEZE_V1` is a version-locked snapshot of the kernel and its evidence, containing **27 PROVEN claims**. Freezing matters because it converts a moving research artefact into a fixed reference that any third party can re-run and check. > [!abstract] What "frozen" buys you > - A specific [[Common Trust Core]] version, hashed and locked. > - A fixed corpus ([[Cross-Domain Validation|SWRO / WADI / HAI / SWaT]]). > - A closed set of claims labelled PROVEN — e.g. the **6 of 15** [[Proven Invariants]]. > - SHA-256 checksums over outputs (899,838+ rows) so reproduction is verifiable. This is the operational expression of [[Deterministic Detection]]: determinism is the *property*, the freeze is the *artefact* that makes it auditable. It maps cleanly onto the [[Evidence Hierarchy]] — only claims that survive the freeze are counted, and anything outside it (see [[Unvalidated Components]]) is explicitly *not* claimed. For an investor or pilot sponsor, the freeze is the difference between "trust the founder" and "re-run the package yourself." It is the credibility backbone of the [[Integrity Kernel MOC|whole program]]. --- Related: [[Integrity Kernel MOC]] · [[Deterministic Detection]] · [[Proven Invariants]] · [[Unvalidated Components]] · [[Evidence Hierarchy]]
