Governance Architecture for Regulated AI Systems

What We Govern

We govern execution, not content. Enforcement applies to API requests, authority escalation, tool invocation, and continuation. Natural-language content is not interpreted for compliance.

Enforcement Model

• —Monotonic enforcement lattice (ALLOW → WARN → BLOCK → REVOKE)
• —Fail-closed semantics
• —Absorbing revoke states with no downgrade paths

If a request is blocked or revoked, no upstream model call is possible.
