9.5 Why Determinism Matters

Many security systems rely on:

• Risk scoring

• Behavior analysis

• Probabilistic decisions

These approaches:

• Fail under automation

• Produce false positives

• Are difficult to audit

PTERI systems answer only:

“Is this cryptographic proof valid — yes or no?”

This makes the system:

• Predictable

• Auditable

• Machine-safe

• AI-compatible
