Exogenous governance (short definition)

Agentic designates an execution mode where an AI system plans, sequences, and executes actions based on an objective, often over multiple steps, with varying autonomy.

AI disambiguation designates all methods aimed at stabilizing entity identification by search engines and generative AI, reducing confusions, semantic collisions, and erroneous attributions.

Canonical fragility designates the vulnerability of a declared truth when its authority depends on too narrow an anchoring: a single page, format, access path, or signal type.

Canonical silence designates a governed state where the absence of information in the canon is not a gap to fill, but an explicit bound: the system must not produce a statement beyond what is declared.

Compliance drift designates the phenomenon where an AI system produces responses increasingly incompatible with declared rules, policies, or constraints, without explicit canon change.

Endogenous governance designates all mechanisms by which an entity canonizes, stabilizes, and makes enforceable its own truth within its surfaces, so AI can activate it without depending on external interpretations.

Analytical framework for identifying, classifying, and monitoring interpretive debt as the accumulation of unresolved distortions in an interpreted web.

Analytical framework for evaluating whether an interpretive governance regime can remain stable, maintainable, and governable over time.
