Abstract

v2: Recompiled with corrected affiliation domain (pastoral.tech). This paper demonstrates that a fully believable synthetic organization---complete with nine or more executive personas, publication histories, and cross-referencing endorsement networks---can be fabricated for approximately $50 in initial costs plus $200 per month in operational expenditure. This poses a severe and immediate credibility threat to the faith-technology sector. We present Helix Fabric v2, a distributed detection framework deployed on edge infrastructure that implements 15 distinct signal types organized across 8 scanner worker categories and 4 nullification worker types.
