what is Operator Synthesis: the L1-L4 anti-automation diagnostic?
The BotGuard SoK four-layer model of a point-in-time VM-attestation system (static introspection, dynamic sensor telemetry, obfuscation/polymorphism, execution traps, chronometric integrity), reframed for the shift from Environmental Forgery to Operator Synthesis: a VLM driving a real, unmodified browser from the OS input layer. Costs do not vanish, they shift to new surfaces.. Distilled from the richards agents catalog (SoK layers). Framing evergreen; asOf 2026-06-15.
