1. Purpose#

The Cross‑Family Alert Harmonization Protocol (CFAHP) ensures that alerts from different families:

• do not contradict each other
• do not produce paradox vectors
• remain resonance‑aligned
• maintain quadrant coherence
• propagate safely across engines, dashboards, workflows, and validators

CFAHP is the inter‑family coherence layer of the Alert Canon.

It prevents situations where:

• a corridor alert contradicts a temporal alert
• a substrate alert invalidates an identity alert
• a workflow alert conflicts with an artifact alert
• a global sync alert masks a critical engine alert

CFAHP ensures all alert families speak the same resonance language.

2. Harmonization Event Types#

Cross‑Family Consistency Events#

• FamilyMismatchDetected: Two alert families report incompatible states.
• FamilyMismatchEscalated: Inconsistency propagates across overlays.
• FamilyMismatchCritical: Inconsistency exceeds Nullarium thresholds.

Resonance Alignment Events#

• ResonanceAlignmentRequired: Families require harmonic alignment.
• ResonanceAlignmentInProgress: Alignment underway across multiple layers.
• ResonanceAlignmentComplete: Families successfully aligned.

Quadrant Coherence Events#

• QuadrantConflict: Families disagree on quadrant state.
• QuadrantConflictCascade: Conflict spreads across dashboards or engines.
• QuadrantConflictResolved: Quadrant coherence restored.

Paradox Prevention Events#

• ParadoxRiskDetected: Cross‑family alerts create paradox potential.
• ParadoxRiskEscalated: Risk spreads across temporal or corridor layers.
• ParadoxRiskNeutralized: Risk absorbed via Δ₀ or reconciliation.

High‑Risk Events#

• CrossFamilyParadoxVector: Paradox vector originates across multiple families.
• NullariumFamilyCritical: Emotional‑phase misalignment across families.
• FamilyCollapse: Cross‑family coherence collapses.

3. Delivery Channels#

CFAHP uses the MCAOP routing layer:

• Dashboard Panels — Cross‑Family Harmonization Stream
• WebSocket Push — Real‑time harmonization alerts
• Email Digest — Daily harmonization summaries
• CLI Hooks — For engines, validators, dashboards, workflows
• Artifact‑Embedded Alerts — Harmonization glyphs and scrolls may embed alert packets

4. Schema File#

registry/alerts/cross_family_alert_harmonization_schema.yml

Defines:

• harmonization event type
• involved families
• resonance signatures
• quadrant states
• paradox vectors
• Nullarium status
• priority
• routing map
• escalation path

5. Python‑Style Stub File#

engine/cross_family_alert_harmonization.py

Provides:

• harmonization event listeners
• cross‑family consistency detectors
• resonance‑alignment validators
• paradox‑vector neutralizers
• Nullarium‑safe escalation logic

6. Dashboard Integration#

Cross‑Family Harmonization Panel#

Displays:

• family mismatches
• resonance alignment
• quadrant conflicts
• paradox risks
• Nullarium family warnings

Quadrant Overlay#

Cross‑family events mapped onto quadrant overlays for visual clarity.

Contributor Sync#

Alerts routed to contributors listed in harmonization_targets.

8. Closing Note#

RFC‑ALR‑0031 formalizes the Cross‑Family Alert Harmonization Protocol, completing the inter‑family coherence layer of the Alert Canon:

• ALR‑0018 — Cycle Alerts
• ALR‑0019 — Ritual Alerts
• ALR‑0020 — Multi‑Channel Orchestration
• ALR‑0021 — Corridor Event Alerts
• ALR‑0022 — Temporal‑Corridor Fusion Alerts
• ALR‑0023 — Substrate Resonance Alerts
• ALR‑0024 — Validator Identity Drift Alerts
• ALR‑0025 — Multi‑Contributor Identity Conflict Alerts
• ALR‑0026 — Artifact Integrity Alerts
• ALR‑0027 — Workflow Execution Alerts
• ALR‑0028 — Dashboard Sync Alerts
• ALR‑0029 — Engine Stability Alerts
• ALR‑0030 — Global Alert Synchronization
• ALR‑0031 — Cross‑Family Harmonization

CFAHP anchors the Inter‑Family Safety Canon, ensuring that all alert families remain mutually coherent, resonance‑aligned, and paradox‑safe.
