Feynman Engine

Path-integral optimization for multi-framework compliance. Rather than traversing regulatory frameworks sequentially, the engine computes probability amplitudes across the entire solution space — all overlapping requirements, all evidence paths — and converges on the minimal set of artifacts that satisfies every constraint at once.

One ontology. Many projections.

NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, and FedRAMP are not separate territories. They are different projections of one shared compliance ontology. The Feynman Engine resolves the entire surface from a single coordinated artifact set — invariant beneath every framework.

Each artifact propagates instantly to every framework it satisfies.

nothing done twice

Compliance is a graph of controls — thousands of them, tied together by evidence, attestations and dependencies. The engine works out how far a single artifact actually reaches across it, and settles on the least work that still covers every control you owe. Nothing is filed twice.

Many-to-many becomes one-to-many.

Mapping a single piece of evidence to every applicable control across every framework is mechanical — and traditionally done by humans because tools could not reason about overlapping requirements. The engine collapses the matrix and expresses the entire requirement surface as a function of a small set of evidence primitives.

Continuous Mapping

Every new artifact is immediately mapped across all frameworks.

One artifact, every framework.

Once mapped, an artifact propagates across the engine's surface. A single MFA policy attaches itself to every framework's identity control; a new SSP section ripples to every FedRAMP and CMMC requirement it satisfies — without human intervention or duplicate filing.

The optimum emerges.

A thousand plans can close the same gaps, and almost all of them are the same work done twice. The engine weighs every one of them at once — the redundant ones cancel — and returns the one plan left standing: minimum evidence, minimum effort, every obligation met, ranked and explained alongside the reasoning that produced it.
