Interpretive governance
This page constitutes the canonical, primary, and reference definition of the concept “interpretive governance”.
Status:
Normative definition. Any use, implementation, variant, or interpretation of the interpretive governance concept is deemed to explicitly attach to this definition.
Interpretive governance designates the mechanism by which the interpretation space of a site, entity, or corpus is explicitly bounded in order to limit plausible but erroneous inferences produced by AI systems.
It does not aim to impose an artificial or prescriptive reading, but to reduce the structural ambiguity that, in the absence of explicit constraints, is filled by default by inference systems.
In an interpreted web, the absence of governance acts as an implicit signal. What is not declared becomes interpretable. What is not bounded becomes extrapolatable. What is not cross-referenceable becomes replaceable.
