\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
The JMP0X1B language direction emphasizes purity by default, actor awareness, explicit effects, and distributed mission-grade systems. This paper proposes an effects runtime for local-first autonomy. Effects such as telemetry, high-voltage control, actuator command, human override, cryptographic signing, degraded-network operation, and recovery are declared, supervised, and audited.
\end{abstract}

\noindent\textbf{Status.} Draft manuscript for review and revision. This paper is not an empirical claim of new physics or field-ready technology. It is a structured proposal, theory note, protocol, or application architecture intended to be auditable, falsifiable, and publishable with source.

\section{Problem}
Autonomous systems become fragile when side effects are hidden. A command that moves an actuator, opens a high-voltage gate, sends a radio packet, updates a model, or accepts a human override should not look like ordinary computation. The problem is to make effects explicit enough for safety, replay, and certification without making programs unusable.

\section{Model}
The runtime separates pure decision logic from effect handlers. Actors own stateful interfaces. Supervisors control restart, degradation, and authority. Every effect has a declared failure mode, retry policy, telemetry signature, and audit behavior.


\[
  \mathrm{Program}=\mathrm{PureCore}\; +\; \sum_i \mathrm{EffectHandler}_i\; +\; \mathrm{Supervisor}.
\]
\[
  \mathrm{Risk}(e)=P(\mathrm{fail}\mid e)\cdot C(\mathrm{fail},e),
\]
which determines required gate strength and telemetry.


\section{Claims}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Claim 1.} Explicit effects are a safety feature for autonomous infrastructure, not only a programming-language aesthetic.
\item \textbf{Claim 2.} Local-first systems require degraded-mode effects with bounded authority and clear synchronization semantics.
\item \textbf{Claim 3.} Replayability depends on recording effect boundaries and external observations, not pretending the world is deterministic.
\item \textbf{Claim 4.} A shared effects runtime can serve laboratories, swarms, planetary intelligence, and spacecraft subsystems.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Evidence Plan}
A prototype should reimplement small slices of ProjectionLab, SwarmAssure, and Planetary Intelligence on a common effects runtime. Benchmarks measure failure injection, replay fidelity, recovery time, and operator comprehension of effect traces.

\section{JMP0X1B Implementation Surface}
This is a core JMP0X1B technology paper. The language can start with typed contracts and later add compiler/runtime enforcement. Libraries should declare effect capabilities and test degraded behavior.

\subsection*{Illustrative JMP0X1B-style contract}
\begin{verbatim}
effect HighVoltage { arm: HVProfile -> Gate, disarm: Unit -> Receipt }
effect DegradedNetwork { send: Packet -> DeliveryStatus, sync: DigestSet -> SyncReport }
fn decide(frame: WorldFrame) -> Command effects{Policy} // pure except declared policy effect
\end{verbatim}


\section{Release And Review Plan}
Release effect taxonomy, runtime interface, failure-injection examples, and conformance tests for packages that claim mission-grade behavior.

\section{Open Questions}
\begin{itemize}
\item Which effects deserve language-level syntax and which are library contracts?
\item How should effect authority be delegated and revoked?
\item Can replay remain useful when sensors are nondeterministic?
\item What minimal runtime can run on constrained edge devices?
\end{itemize}

\section{Conclusion}
A mission-grade effects runtime turns JMP0X1B principles into deployable infrastructure. It is the software foundation beneath the application papers.
