RHEA-UCM: Safe-by-Design

RHEA-UCM is a hybrid dynamical framework that achieves stateful emergence through recursive entropy-bounded systems (REBS). It reorganizes attractor basins at runtime, in contrast to transformer-based architectures that rely on semantic novelty within fixed topologies. The design provides intrinsic safety properties that satisfy major 2026 AI governance frameworks, including the EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF), and ISO/IEC 42001, without requiring retroactive controls. RHEA enables bounded acceleration: capability growth remains rapid yet confined to finite, recoverable regions. This supports ethical scaling and resilient physical AI.
