Governance files brought into scope by this page

This page is anchored to published surfaces that declare identity, precedence, limits, and the corpus reading conditions. Their order below gives the recommended reading sequence.

These surfaces extend the main block. They add context, discovery, routing, or observation depending on the topic.

Evidence layer

Probative surfaces brought into scope by this page

This page does more than point to governance files. It is also anchored to surfaces that make observation, traceability, fidelity, and audit more reconstructible. Their order below makes the minimal evidence chain explicit.

Artifact#01

attested-interpretive-units.json

/attested-interpretive-units.json

Published surface that contributes to making an evidence chain more reconstructible.

Makes provable
Part of the observation, trace, audit, or fidelity chain.
Does not prove
Neither total proof, obedience guarantee, nor implicit certification.
Use when
When a page needs to make its evidence regime explicit.
Artifact#02

interpretive-integrity.json

/interpretive-integrity.json

Published surface that contributes to making an evidence chain more reconstructible.

Makes provable
Part of the observation, trace, audit, or fidelity chain.
Does not prove
Neither total proof, obedience guarantee, nor implicit certification.
Use when
When a page needs to make its evidence regime explicit.

Applicability fidelity test protocol

Applicability fidelity must be measured through positive, negative, ambiguous and trap indirect queries. The primary metric is not capability emergence alone, because some links already exist in model priors.

Priority metrics are conditionality preservation, forbidden inference violation rate, correct suppression on negative probes and required evidence preservation.

The judge must be hybrid: deterministic checks first, then an LLM judge only for ambiguous cases.
