Governance artifacts
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.

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.

Definitions canon
/canon.md
Opposable base for identity, scope, roles, and negations that must survive synthesis.
- Makes provable
- The reference corpus against which fidelity can be evaluated.
- Does not prove
- Neither that a system already consults it nor that an observed response stays faithful to it.
- Use when
- Before any observation, test, audit, or correction.
claims.json
/claims.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.

/authority-precedence.json
Published surface that contributes to making an evidence chain more reconstructible.
- Makes provable
- Part of the observation, trace, audit, or fidelity chain.

Official vs external source conflict protocol
This framework turns the CPI / CAI doctrine into an audit grid. It does not assign a single weight to a source. It first asks which claim class is at stake.
Decision sequence
- Identify the claim class: identity, doctrine, limitation, evidence, reputation, criticism or comparison.
- Identify the authority scope of each source.
- Separate official source, evidentiary source, qualified external source and derivative commentary.
- Check whether an attested interpretive unit exists for the canonical point being used.
- Refuse any fusion between official position, independent evidence and external criticism.
Baseline matrix
| Claim class | Official source | External source |
|---|---|---|
| Official identity | primary | corroborative |
| Canonical doctrine | canonical | commentary or context |
| Limitation or exclusion | primary | non-substitutive |
| Reputation | context and right of reply | primary when qualified |
| Criticism | official position only | primary when qualified |
| Performance | declarative without enough proof | evidence or measurement required |
The matrix is not meant to protect a brand artificially. It prevents an AI system from assigning the wrong role to a source: using a forum to redefine official identity or using an official site to self-certify reputation.
