Product-specific release acknowledgment

Review before opening the ΔSyn Compression Lab

This page explains the exact release class, open-source license, scientific boundaries, known limitations, and user responsibilities for UVLM ΔSyn Conditional Compression Lab 0.2.0-alpha.1.

Public Open-Source Research Preview
MPL-2.0
Source-first
Local-only
Unsigned Windows convenience packages

The open-source license remains controlling. This website acknowledgment confirms that you reviewed the product status and limitations. It does not add restrictions to, subtract rights from, or replace the MPL-2.0 license. If this page conflicts with the license on a source-code right, the license controls.

This is an alpha research preview, not production software. It is provided for research, inspection, testing, learning, and contribution within its declared scope.

1. Release status

The product is a public open-source research preview. It is not presented as production ready, certified, professionally assured, universally compatible, malware free, or suitable for unsupervised high-stakes use.

2. Scientific boundaries

The lab evaluates conditional coding with explicitly declared side information. It does not claim to beat or revise Shannon, compress arbitrary meaning, outperform established codecs generally, prove energy savings, validate GUFT as physical law, or certify truth.

3. Explicit donors and honest negative results

You choose any donor or shared prior. The software does not discover or select one automatically. A negative gain, an unrelated donor, or NO_BENEFICIAL_DONOR is a valid research result.

4. Locality, models, and memory

The declared product path is local-only. It makes no provider or model call, trains nothing, federates nothing, and performs no PMR or other memory write. PMR output is a recommendation plus a no-action receipt, not a retention action.

5. Your files and research decisions

You are responsible for choosing files you are authorized to process, safeguarding originals and backups, protecting sensitive information, interpreting results, and deciding whether any observation is useful. Do not email UVLM target files, donor files, passwords, private keys, or sensitive run packages without an approved transfer route.

6. Verification and hashes

Compare downloaded files with their published SHA-256 values. A matching hash establishes byte identity. It does not prove correctness, truth, authorship, consent, legality, safety, or fitness for a particular use.

7. Windows convenience packages

The Windows portable and installer-candidate packages are unsigned experimental conveniences, not frozen signed native applications. They require the compatible local Python runtime and documented prerequisites. Windows or organizational policy may warn or block them.

8. Warranty, support, and change

The software is provided under the license and with the limitations published for this release. Support is best effort. A successor may repair, replace, or retire behavior, but UVLM will not silently change the exact identity of this version.

9. Voluntary nonprofit support

Donations are optional and separate from access, features, verification, scientific results, ordinary support priority, and governance decisions.

10. Site terms

UVLM's general site terms and privacy notice also apply to use of this website. They do not replace the software license.
