Provenance for the baseline itself

Certified-Empty Re-Teach

Before the room re-learns its normal picture, the radar swears the room was truly empty the whole time.

Contested Space · Contested capability

What this capability does not do.

Does not act.

Latent emits a reading. It does not switch cameras, unlock cages, cut power or open a ticket. Your VMS, PoE switch or access controller does that, on your side of the boundary. A Latent blueprint contains no executable code, no remote URLs and no device secrets — by schema, not by policy.

Does not identify.

No face, no plate, no MAC, no device identity, no payload. A movement signature is a shape moving through a room, not a person. Nothing stored here resolves to an individual.

Does not survive everything.

An adversary can deny re-teach (not poison it) by keeping energy in the cone — a logged DoS. Out-of-cone presence still contaminates; the certificate’s honesty is its scope line, and a certificate without a coverage map is void.

Across Camera Shield Jam the mesh and the wake never fires. Two people moving together read as one disturbance. Re-rack a row and the fade map is wrong until you recalibrate.

Observable
Per-link CSI amplitude variance across subcarriers, sampled at the mesh frame rate (about 6–9 Hz on ESP32-S3). No phase, no waveform, no audio.
Retention
A presence score and its state transitions. Raw CSI is consumed on the node and in your browser; it is never written to disk and never exported.
Node minimum
1 node
Export policy
Conditional — Exportable into a signed release, subject to the deployment’s own preflight.
Chain of custody

Node identity

Each node mints its own key over USB, in your hand. Physical possession is the root authority: a device that cannot prove physical presence is refused enrollment outright. A cloud pairing PIN is a weaker ownership claim and is never treated as liveness.

Reading provenance

Every reading is attributable to a device id, profile id, hardware id and firmware version recorded at install and verified by mutual HMAC-SHA256 proof over an LFW1 nonce exchange. A node whose proof did not verify is marked untrusted, not merely offline.

Install attestation

Completing an installation is a high-risk action. It requires your explicit browser approval, an approval snapshot that still matches, an idempotency key, and heartbeats less than three minutes old. There is no silent commissioning.

How enrollment works

Properties you can map to your own controls

  • No optical sensor is present in this capability’s node set.
  • Raw CSI does not leave the node. Only derived event rows are stored or exported.
  • No stored identifier resolves to a person. Where access events are correlated, that correlation happens in your systems, against your logs.
  • The runtime executes on the node and in your browser. This capability has no cloud inference path.

These are properties, not certifications. Latent does not assert compliance with any framework on your behalf.

A capability description, not an incident record.
Readiness Shared-family mapped

Mapped to a shared offline runtime family and usable with a recording or compatible ESP32 CSI stream.

Evidence Strong theory Supported hypothesis

Published physics or adjacent results support the hypothesis; capability-specific product and site validation are still required.

Runtime family Presence

Calibrated motion and presence score from CSI variance and change statistics.

When no ESP32 is connected

No compatible ESP32 stream is connected. Use the bundled Camera Shield recording; it demonstrates the shared Presence runtime, not independent proof of this capability.

Intended capability

Pilot this intended outcome through the shared Presence family, then validate it against site-specific ground truth: Accepts a zone's CSI baseline re-teach only while the zone's radar attests moving and static energy at noise floor for the entire teach window, attaching an empty-room certificate to the new baseline's provenance record — so an adversary cannot stand still inside a re-teach and poison the estate's calibration.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is shared-family mapped, evidence is class B, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Bundled recording

A related Camera Shield scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

The presence class that contaminates CSI quiet windows undetected is a motionless human; LD2410C static micro-motion detection holds exactly that to 4-6 m in-cone. The certificate is scoped to radar-covered cones and never extends past them; uncovered zones re-teach uncertified and say so. Sibling of frontier's certified-quiescence gate, specialized to adversarial re-teach provenance.

02 Shared processing path

Re-teach request -> LD2410 noise-floor attest across the teach window -> any energy aborts and logs the attempt -> clean window -> baseline accepted + empty-certificate in the provenance chain consumed by cage-calibration-drift-audit

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

Adversarial trials: still confederate in-cone and out-of-cone during re-teach windows; in-cone poisoning must always abort, out-of-cone contamination must be labeled uncertified; DoS audit of oscillating-object abort spam.

04 Commercial hypothesis

'Provenance for the baseline itself' — for estate owners whose drift audits are only as good as the emptiness of the room they calibrated in.

A quiet reading is not an all-clear. If nodes are stale, degraded or jammed, this runtime says so explicitly. It never infers safety from missing data.
