Enforcement Integrity in Pre-Execution Authorization is a FERZ, Inc. technical note on a requirement that enforceable AI governance has carried without specifying: what establishes that the mechanism responsible for pre-execution authorization is beyond the unauthorized control o...

Deterministic AI Governance: A Unified Derivation of the Runtime Authorization Boundary, Authorization Artifact, Integrity Model, and Five Tests Standard

This monograph reconstructs the FERZ governance doctrine as a unified analytical argument. Beginning with the distinction between observation and pre-execution authorization, it states the additional definitions and integrity requirements from which the runtime authorization boun...

Execution-Time Authorization for AI Agents: A Formal Framework for Deterministic Governance Boundaries

Execution-Time Authorization for AI Agents formalizes execution-time authorization (ETA) as a deterministic governance boundary for AI agents and other autonomous systems whose proposed actions may produce real-world effects. The paper defines ETA as a deterministic runtime enfor...

The Authorization Boundary Integrity Model

A complete authorization boundary satisfies three independent properties. Most architectures satisfy one or two and present as complete. This work names the construct and the properties, and gives a way to see which one a given architecture is quietly missing. The model is stated...

Authorship Does Not Decide Substance: An Outcome-Based Framework for Intellectual Products

Suppose AI participation in producing a work is reliably recorded. Suppose further that a named human intellectually directed the work and accountably adopted it. Neither fact establishes whether the resulting product contains intellectual substance. This technical note proposes...

Standing Eligibility versus Runtime Authorization: A Definitional Distinction for AI Governance

Standing Eligibility versus Runtime Authorization distinguishes two governance instruments that are frequently collapsed in AI governance discussions. A standing-status determination takes a certified referent as its object, produces a status, and has continuing temporal effect....

Delegation of Authority to AI: Three Conditions for Defensible Automated Decisions

Delegation of Authority to AI states the conditions under which a licensed professional or regulated institution may route a bounded decision function through an AI system without treating the system as a licensed or independently accountable professional. The paper identifies th...
