Failure: hard stopTECHNOLOGY
The AI can do a lot inside your operation. Deterministic, inspectable controls make sure it only ever acts within the limits you set.
CANONICAL FLOW
This is the stable technical nucleus. Signal processing, thermodynamics, identity binding, and electromagnetic governance extend it; they do not replace it.

Is the requested transition legal?
Failure: hard stopIs the request fresh and inside the authorized window?
Failure: hard stopDoes the path match expected correlation and latency?
Failure: stop or bounded degradeAre identity, delegation, concurrence, and scope valid?
Failure: hard stopIs this operation explicitly permitted?
Failure: reject operationFAILURE SEMANTICS
A noisy path may shorten a window. Thermal variance may throttle rate. A forbidden action never becomes permissible because confidence fell.
