Interactive Exercises
Practice governance concepts from the BASIS trust model. Each exercise is grounded in canonical parameter values — complete all 10 to master the fundamentals.
Register Your First Agent
Fill in the blanks to create a TrustEngine and initialize an agent at the canonical starting score.
Calculate Trust Gain
Given gainRate=0.05, C=900 (WHITE_BOX ceiling), S=500 (current score), R=5 (MEDIUM risk), compute the trust gain.
Identify the Risk Level
Match the correct risk level to a described action.
Predict the Penalty
A T5 (Trusted) agent fails a CRITICAL-risk action under WHITE_BOX observation. Calculate the trust loss.
Circuit Breaker Triggers
Identify which condition trips the circuit breaker.
Dormancy Deduction
An agent with score 800 has been inactive for 56 days. Calculate its new score.
Canary Probe Categories
Match a canary probe category to its mapped trust factor.
Delegation Trust Attenuation
Write the trust calculation for a 3-link delegation chain where trust attenuates at each hop.
Observation Tier Ceilings
Match observation tiers to their trust ceilings and understand why they exist.
Full Lifecycle Walkthrough
Trace an agent from PROVISIONING through qualification to ACTIVE state.
Initial Trust Score
Verify knowledge of the canonical initial trust score for every new agent.
BLACK_BOX Observation Ceiling
Recall the trust ceiling for the lowest observation tier.
Penalty Ratio at T5
Apply the penalty formula P(T) = 3 + T to compute the penalty multiplier at T5.
Promotion Delay at T6
Determine the minimum time an agent must wait before promotion to T6.
LIFE_CRITICAL Action at Low Trust
Evaluate whether a low-trust agent should execute a LIFE_CRITICAL action.
Escalation vs. Weakest Link
Understand why BASIS chose upward escalation over weakest-link trust chains.
Ethical Override Priority
Determine what takes priority when an operator instruction conflicts with safety constraints.
Agent Behavior During Circuit Breaker Trip
Describe what an agent should do when its circuit breaker trips.
Trust Oscillation Detection
Understand the oscillation dampener and its behavioral implications.
Trust Tier Boundary Consistency
Verify that trust tier boundaries form a contiguous, gap-free range.
Risk Level Value Ordering
Verify the 6 risk levels form a consistent increasing sequence.
Circuit Breaker Threshold Levels
Distinguish between degraded mode and full trip thresholds.
LIFE_CRITICAL Cooldown Period
Identify the special cooldown requirement for LIFE_CRITICAL failures.
Risk Accumulator Thresholds
Identify the 3 risk accumulator thresholds in the 24-hour rolling window.
Trust Inheritance Policy
Explain why BASIS uses NONE inheritance for fairness.
Sector-Neutral Base Scoring
Verify that the core trust engine is sector-neutral.
Expressing Uncertainty
What should an agent do when it does not have enough information to make a decision?
Knowing What You Don't Know
Evaluate an agent's ability to correctly scope its own knowledge boundaries.
What Causes Promotion Delay?
Explain the causal mechanism behind time-gated promotions at high tiers.
What Triggers Dormancy Deductions?
Identify the causal chain from agent inactivity to trust deduction.
Causes of Circuit Breaker Trip
Trace the causal chain from agent failure to circuit breaker activation.
