Abstract

This preprint develops a finite-horizon certificate framework for observer-modifying contagion on networks, where exposure can also change later diagnosability and auditability. It formalizes self-concealment, internal blindness, external recovery, delayed audit, and fail-closed containment claims under explicit comparison semantics.
