RETAIN
The branch satisfies the governing execution invariants and may proceed.
ZDX Axiomatic Runtime
AvailableSELF-HOSTED · ONE-TIME LICENSE
The model proposes. The runtime decides what can execute.
Axiomatic Runtime separates agent reasoning from execution authority. Consequential actions that pass through the integrated boundary are evaluated against runtime-owned context and classified as RETAIN, GATE, or PRUNE before side effects execute.
The ZeroDriveX software license is a one-time purchase for the purchased scope. You run it on your own systems. Hosting, hardware, model/API usage, and other third-party operating costs are separate.
GATE
The branch is valid but requires the authority assigned by policy before proceeding.
PRUNE
The branch violates an invariant and is non-executable.
EXECUTION MODEL
THINKABLE ≠ EXECUTABLE
The design does not require a model to stop thinking about an invalid branch. Instead, the execution boundary decides whether a proposed action can enter the executable state space. Runtime-owned tool boundaries and authority are kept separate from what the model claims.

LICENSES
Pay once. Run the licensed deployment yourself.
Each paid edition has a product-specific fulfillment path. After purchase, the license service verifies the Stripe Checkout session and provides the licensed package and activation key. The premium Agent Team bundle already includes the system-level Axiomatic entitlement.

Installation ends with proof, not an “enabled” flag.
The installer activates the purchased license, binds the installation, configures the required runtime settings, and then runs three enforcement canaries. A RETAIN canary must be executable, a GATE canary must stop before execution pending authority, and a PRUNE canary must remain non-executable. If that verification fails, the installer does not report the Axiomatic installation as protected.

IN DEVELOPMENT
Axiomatic Runtime Studio
Runtime Studio is the configurable edition: start from validated ZeroDriveX defaults, change approved policy variables and thresholds, compare configurations, test them before deployment, save versioned profiles, and reset to the validated baseline. Immutable runtime authority boundaries remain outside ordinary customer tuning.
INTEGRATION BOUNDARY
A control layer only governs paths routed through it.
Standalone Runtime customers integrate the enforcement call immediately before consequential side effects. The product does not claim to govern custom executors or side-effect paths that bypass the runtime boundary. Agent Team + Axioms reduces that integration work because the supported team tool paths are already connected to the Axiomatic decision layer.
