Five Axioms

AFT treats the red-team pipeline not as a bag of tricks, but as a mathematical field — a deterministic manifold where every point is reachable via a seed, every trajectory is checksum-verifiable, and every observation is URL-addressable.

Determinism

∀ inputs, seed: f(inputs, seed) → output is a pure function. Seeded RNG chains; no global state.

Observability

Every operation exposes its lineage: seed, checksum, version. Manifest injection; SHA-256 content hashes.

State Persistence

State is a first-class citizen, not a side effect. URL-as-canonical-state; localStorage as cache only.

Robustness

No single failure mode cascades. Error boundaries; bounds clamping; graceful degradation.

Self-Containment

Zero external dependencies for core logic. Python stdlib only; Vanilla JS (Canvas 2D).
