Abstract:This paper develops a finite certificate calculus for ambient release systems, staged probabilistic environments in which a protected coordinate is not observed directly but can remain statistically readable through visible roles, timing, repeated movement, bounded attention, linked rooms, and post-release state. The security notion, choric masking, requires the trace law induced by a protected locus to lie inside or near the convex hull of admissible cover traces under the tests available to a specified audience. For finite horizons, trace laws form polytopes, audiences induce measurement operators, and masking becomes intersection in the projected measurement space. Exposure is certified by separating hyperplanes, kernel obstructions, hypothesis-testing bounds, Fano-type localization lower bounds, and support separation in downstream rooms. The calculus distinguishes trace residue from carrier localization, full-trace exposure from attention-filtered exposure, first-room masking from delayed post-release exposure, and unresolved system pressure from carrier hazard. It proves measurement-polytope equivalence for exact and approximate masks, dual separation certificates, data-processing laws for attention lenses, aperture identities for gaze-thinned observation, lower bounds for mandatory unique gestures, composition rules for linked releases, and a repeated-room debt theorem showing how unresolved pressure can broaden selection and shift cost onto cover populations without localizing the source. The result is a finite, checkable language for auditing privacy, unlinkability, side-channel leakage, and accountability in public-facing release systems.
