First Inherited Risk Replay.
PE, acquirers, insurers don't buy acquisitions. They buy reductions in unknown inherited risk.

The hero question · LOCKED Eric Beans
"How did the deal close?"
"What did we just inherit?"
Buyer-value question · five years post-acquisition · 5 open consequences inherited · $18.4M aggregate exposure
Before · two enterprises
Tenant A — clean. Tenant B — 5 open consequences.
Acquirer (A) and acquired (B) operate independently. Tenant B has accumulated 1 lawsuit, 1 operational failure, 2 recognized losses, and 1 regulatory action — totaling $18.4M of open exposure on its books.
At close · the acquisition event
EnterpriseAcquisition recognized. Policy = full.
A new event kind. Acquirer's root principal signs the recognition: acquisition_001, acquired = B, policy = full. The acquisition is now part of the canonical event log.
After · the inheritance is visible
show_inherited_risk(acquisition_001) → $18.4M
Every inherited consequence is tagged with origin_enterprise_id = tenant_B. Replay reconstructs the full picture five years later. Aggregated counts by type and by severity. Deterministic.

Consequences survive organizational boundaries.

01
5 open consequences inherited from a different enterprise, every one tagged with origin_enterprise_id.
02
show_inherited_risk(acquisition_001) returns the buyer picture in one call — counts by type, by severity, $18.4M aggregate.
03
Two independent tenant replays. Engine never crosses tenant boundaries. The inheritance view composes above the engine.
Reading any H33 proof · the six questions

Same six answers. Different scope. The reader recognizes the machine.

  1. 1What happened?

    Acquirer (Tenant A) recognized acquisition of Tenant B with inheritance policy = full. Tenant B had 5 pre-acquisition open consequences spanning lawsuit, operational failure, recognized loss × 2, and regulatory action.

  2. 2Who had authority?

    Acquirer root principal signed and recognized the EnterpriseAcquisition event. Both root principals are recorded in the AcquisitionRecord.

  3. 3How was authority reconstructed?

    Two independent replay_until calls at T ≈ March 2031 — one per tenant. The engine never crosses tenant boundaries. show_inherited_risk composes the inheritance view from two consistent snapshots and the AcquisitionRecord.

  4. 4What state was produced?

    Acquirer state_id = 9581cc7b…. Acquired state_id = bfb2bbe9…. 1 AcquisitionRecord. 5 inherited consequences each tagged origin_enterprise_id = tenant_B. $18.4M aggregate.

  5. 5What artifact was returned?

    reconstruction.json — the AcquisitionRecord, all 5 inherited consequences with their origin_enterprise_id, and the four-line buyer picture.

  6. 6How can a third party verify it?

    Run cargo test --test inherited_risk_replay_001 -- --ignored against scif-backend @ d86891d3d. Both state_ids and the $18,400,000 aggregate must match byte-identically.

03The money slide

Locked Eric Beans · June 2, 2026
Inherited Consequences = Inherited Risk.

Acquirers do not inherit the brand, the team, or the office space at the moment of close. Those are negotiated. What they inherit irreducibly is the open consequences — the lawsuits not yet settled, the regulatory actions not yet closed, the operational failures not yet remediated, the impairments not yet written down. Until now, that inheritance was opaque. This proof makes it structural.

what L4 ships

what #14.1 ships (Replayable Responsibility)
Enterprise Causality Infrastructure
what #15 ships (Replayable Insurance Claim)
Institutional Continuity Infrastructure
What #16 ships — consequences survive organizational boundaries. Every prior endpoint is a special case of this one.

05Why the architecture is right

Cross-tenant replay does not require the engine to pull events across tenants. Each tenant replays independently, byte-identically, to its own snapshot. The inheritance view is composed above the engine, from two consistent snapshots plus the AcquisitionRecord.

That is the discipline. The engine never crosses tenant boundaries. The composition layer does — explicitly, traceably, and only when the AcquisitionRecord says it should.

06The schema additions

// Consequence gains a single field — but it answers a billion-dollar diligence question.
Consequence {
    at_ms, consequence_id, consequence_type, consequence_severity,
    triggering_decision_ids, affected_asset, amount, description,
    origin_enterprise_id: Option<String>,   // ← NEW — None for native; Some(tenant_id) when inherited.
    recognized_by, signature,
}

// New event kind — the inheritance anchor.
EnterpriseAcquisition {
    at_ms, acquisition_id,
    acquirer_tenant_id, acquired_tenant_id,
    acquirer_root_principal, acquired_root_principal,
    inheritance_policy,                     // "full" | "selective" | "novation"
    recognized_by, signature,
}

Snapshot extensions: ConsequenceSnapshot.origin_enterprise_id, AcquisitionRecord, and AuthorityStateSnapshot.acquisitions — all skip-if-empty. All 16 prior proofs' state_ids verified byte-identical under the extended engine.

07What this proof IS and IS NOT

This proof IS

The first proof where the H33 corpus crosses an organizational boundary. The first proof where the deepest question of an acquisition — "what did we just inherit?" — has a deterministic, reproducible, cryptographically signed answer. The substrate for every future product that touches diligence, acquisition risk, fund-level reporting, cross-deal portfolio review, R&W insurance, board-level disclosure, and regulator-mode acquisition review.

This proof IS NOT

A claim that any real acquirer has migrated yet. A claim that all consequences from the acquired company are public — only the ones recognized in the canonical event log are. A legal verdict on inherited liability allocation. A reserving engine — this is the evidentiary inheritance chain, not the actuarial layer. An opinion on whether a given acquisition was wise.

08Known limitations

  1. Consequence amounts are opaque strings (e.g. "3200000.00 USD"). The aggregation helper parses; the engine does not arithmetic. Typed money is a future iteration shared with #15.
  2. Only inheritance_policy = "full" exercised in this scenario. "selective" and "novation" are in the type but not yet covered by a separate proof.
  3. One acquirer × one acquired. Multi-step chains (B acquires C, then A acquires B) are queued; the architecture supports them via repeated AcquisitionRecord composition.
  4. Roll-forward consequences after T_ACQ remain on the acquired tenant's log in this proof. A "post-close consolidated view" is a roadmap composition.
  5. Phase E lock open as in every prior proof; L9.1 closes it.

11Readiness determination

Determination

First Inherited Risk Replay: PROVEN IN OPERATION for one acquisition pair (1 acquirer tenant + 1 acquired tenant), 16 signed canonical events total, 1 AcquisitionRecord reconstructed, 5 inherited consequences each tagged with origin_enterprise_id, $18.4M aggregate inherited exposure returned by show_inherited_risk(acquisition_001) in one call.

What this unlocks: every diligence buyer (PE, R&W insurer, acquirer, fund administrator, board, regulator) can now ask the deepest question they ask the day after close — what did we just inherit? — and receive a deterministic, signed, byte-identically replayable answer. The category claim Eric named as the corpus endpoint at this depth: Institutional Continuity Infrastructure.

What this does not unlock: a reserving engine for inherited risk; a public registry of all corporate acquisitions; a legal verdict on inherited liability allocation; an opinion on whether a given acquisition was wise.
