Network Status

Purpose

This page documents network status as a supporting informational layer used to interpret availability, degradation, or interruption signals. It provides bounded context for monitoring and analysis without asserting system-wide outcomes or guarantees.

Interpretation Rules

Network status indicators must be interpreted as time-bound observations reflecting reported conditions at a specific moment.

Status changes should be read as signals of variability, not as definitive statements about performance, reliability, or correctness.

Disallowed Inferences

Do not infer settlement success, failure, or delay solely from network status indicators.

Do not treat reported status states as guarantees of availability, throughput, or transaction outcomes.

Boundary Conditions

Network status does not define operational responsibility, enforcement actions, or recovery guarantees. This page does not prescribe decision authority or escalation logic.

Non-Guarantees

Network status signals do not guarantee uptime, performance stability, or error resolution timelines.

The absence of reported issues does not imply optimal or uninterrupted operation.

Scope and Dependencies

This page is a derivative specification within GMG Engine. It does not define or redefine core primitives such as settlement, determinism, finality, proof, or exception handling. All authoritative definitions are inherited from the locked GMG Engine core primitives.
