XIII. Nexus Ecosystem
13.1 Simulation API Standards and Track Integration
13.1.1 Purpose and Simulation Access Mandate
13.1.1.1 This section defines the Simulation Application Programming Interface (API) Standards and Track Integration Protocols (SATIP) governing the secure, interoperable, and clause-driven connection between the Nexus Ecosystem (NE) simulation engines and all five Tracks of the Global Risks Forum (GRF).
13.1.1.2 These standards enable real-time execution, verification, and replay of simulation-linked clauses across civic, academic, sovereign, and treaty-aligned systems while preserving licensing compliance, Track-specific context, and ClauseCommons governance logic.
13.1.1.3 SATIP forms the connective layer between clause authorship (via ClauseCommons), institutional activation (via NE clusters), and Track scenario delivery — ensuring simulation trust, civic traceability, and cross-Track data integrity.
13.1.2 Simulation API Classification by Track Function
13.1.2.1 The Simulation API is segmented into Track-aligned modules:
Track
Simulation API Functionality
Track I – Research & Foresight
Model injection, parameter sweeps, clause replay diagnostics
Track II – Innovation & Prototypes
Clause-linked digital twin execution, MVP simulation harness
Track III – Policy & Treaty Alignment
Jurisdictional policy forks, treaty clause benchmarking
Track IV – Capital & Financial Models
Clause-triggered DRF forecasts, risk-adjusted ROI simulation
Track V – Civic Participation & Deliberation
Replay visualization, clause voting, participatory foresight engines

Tier (OPL, DUL, SFL, TEL);
Geographic/jurisdictional redaction filters;
Attribution rendering and Contributor Royalty Tag (CRT) routing for DUL/SFL outputs.
13.1.4.2 Violation of these licensing constraints shall return HTTP 451-LICENSE BLOCKED and trigger audit log entry in the GRF ClauseCommons Licensing Firewall (CCLF).

13.7 Sensor Fusion Protocols and Realtime Simulation Inputs
13.7.1 Purpose and Real-Time Simulation Mandate
13.7.1.1 This article establishes the standards and governance protocols for integrating real-time sensor data into clause-triggered simulations under the Global Risks Forum (GRF) and its affiliated Tracks I–V.
13.7.1.2 Sensor Fusion Protocols enable the ingestion, validation, and clause-based execution of dynamic environmental, infrastructural, socio-technical, and cyber-physical data streams across sovereign, civic, and institutional monitoring systems.
13.7.1.3 All fusion workflows must adhere to the GRF Real-Time Simulation and Input Governance Standard (RTSIGS) and be auditable through the Nexus Sovereignty Framework (NSF) and ClauseCommons clause execution infrastructure.
13.7.2 Definition and Scope of Sensor Fusion
13.7.2.1 Sensor fusion refers to the systematic ingestion and harmonization of data from multi-modal sensor streams for clause-aligned simulation and situational forecasting. Input sources may include:
Environmental sensors (e.g., rainfall, temperature, seismic activity);
Infrastructure telemetry (e.g., bridges, power grids, pipelines);
Social signal streams (e.g., mobility, emergency communications, social media triggers);
IoT and cyber-physical systems (e.g., water-energy-food system instrumentation);
Government early warning systems (EWS) and sovereign observatories.
13.7.2.2 All sources must declare data frequency, resolution, jurisdiction, redaction status, and clause relevance class (e.g., DRR, DRF, Civic).
13.7.3 GRF Sensor Fusion Stack (G-SFS)
13.7.3.1 The G-SFS provides a standardized architecture composed of the following functional layers:
Layer
Function

Source credentialing, licensing verification, cryptographic signature
L2: Stream Harmonizer
Normalizes data into clause-readable units across simulation classes
L3: Risk Trigger Classifier
Identifies which clauses (by CID/SID) are potentially activated
L4: Temporal-Spatial Sync
Bins data to match clause time windows and jurisdiction overlays
L5: Simulation Dispatch Engine
Pushes pre-verified data blocks into real-time clause execution queue
13.7.3.2 All active fusions must log their input provenance and scenario injection trail in the GRF Realtime Input Ledger (GRIL).
13.7.4 Clause Activation via Sensor Triggers
13.7.4.1 A clause may be activated via sensor input only if:
The clause includes a Trigger Logic Declaration (TLD) in its metadata;
Input stream passes volatility and signal integrity thresholds;
License permits real-time activation (OPL-RT, DUL-RT, SFL-RT);
Contributors have signed Real-Time Activation Consent (RTAC).
13.7.4.2 All triggered executions must be recorded with a Trigger Event ID (TEID) and registered in the ClauseCommons Execution Trigger Register (CETR).
13.7.5 Jurisdictional Filters and Override Mechanisms
13.7.5.1 Sensor-triggered clause simulations are bound by:
