Phase 6A — Architecture Hardening Patch Rev.1.1
Formal Semantics · Deterministic Core · Evidence/Decision Separation · Governed Authority
/board + /erx + /wave1 + /s1 + /oei — linked, never re-run
Architecture Hardening Executive View
The accepted architecture has been hardened so that facts, derived facts, advisory AI output and authorized decisions are formally distinct classes; evidence assessment, deterministic decision evaluation and authority resolution are executed by three non-overlapping engines; invalid operational states are structurally prohibited rather than merely detected; rules and configuration are versioned and reconstructable; and blocker closure is predicate-based rather than document-based. Twelve synthetic hardening regression families (H1–H12) were executed as design assurance. No architecture defect and no materially open state-model defect was found.
Design and simulation assurance only. No blocker closed, no owner acknowledged, no retest executed, no gate status changed.
Formal Fact Type System
Six frozen semantic classes; no implicit promotion is representable.
| Class | Meaning | May authorize | Promotion path |
|---|---|---|---|
| AUTHORITATIVE_FACT | State mastered by the owning source system of record, observed at a pinned version and timestamp. | ONLY_VIA_AUTHORITY_ENGINE | Source of record → Source Validation → qualified fact |
| FEDERATED_FACT | Fact reached across a federation link; truth remains with the source, never with the readiness layer. | NO | Validated mapping → Source Validation → qualified fact (never authoritative) |
| DERIVED_FACT | Computed from one or more qualified facts by a versioned rule; carries a full provenance chain. | NO | Rule Evaluation only; never promoted to AUTHORITATIVE_FACT |
| RULE_EVALUATION | Deterministic output of a pinned rule version over pinned inputs. A statement of logic, not of authority. | NO | Decision Engine output → offered to Authority Engine |
| AI_ADVISORY_OUTPUT | Probabilistic assistance: gap detection, drafting, comparison, explanation. Structurally excluded from operational state. | NO | AI_SUGGESTION → ENGINEERING_REVIEW → COMPETENT_OWNER_APPROVAL → RULE_FORMALISATION |
| AUTHORIZED_DECISION | A competent-authority act with verified authority context, scope, validity and attributable actor. | ONLY_VIA_AUTHORITY_ENGINE | Source Validation → Rule Evaluation → Authority Resolution → Competent Authority Decision |
- ·FEDERATED_FACT ≠ AUTHORITATIVE_FACT
- ·DERIVED_FACT ≠ AUTHORITATIVE_FACT
- ·AI_ADVISORY_OUTPUT ≠ AUTHORIZED_DECISION
- ·RULE_EVALUATION ≠ AUTHORIZED_DECISION
- ·No implicit promotion between classes is representable in the type system
Evidence / Decision / Authority Engine Boundaries
EvidenceEngine ≠ DecisionEngine ≠ AuthorityEngine (frozen)
- ·Intake and provenance capture
- ·Evidence admission control
- ·Criterion-level assessment
- ·Contradiction detection
- ·EvidenceQuality determination
Must not authorize work and must not produce a readiness verdict.

Produces: EvidenceCriterionAssessment, contradictions, quality
- ·Deterministic evaluation of qualified facts
- ·Readiness logic and no-compensation enforcement
- ·READY / CONDITIONAL / HOLD / STOP determination
- ·Reason code emission
Must not determine human authority and must not admit evidence.
Consumes: QualifiedFacts, RuleSet, Configuration

- ·Delegation, validity and revocation
- ·Decision rights evaluation
Must not determine source truth and must not compute readiness.
Consumes: DecisionRight records, actor identity, scope context
Produces: AuthorityResolutionState, AuthorityDecisionRef
Invalid-State Invariant Register
Violations return INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION rather than a corrected state.
| ID | Invariant | Enforcement | Return | Test | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| INV-01 | AUTHORIZED ⇒ AuthorityVerified | Authority Engine port; AUTHORIZED is unconstructable without an AuthorityDecisionRef | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H1 / H12 | PASS |
| INV-02 | CLOSED ⇒ ClosurePredicateSatisfied | Blocker closure accepts a satisfied predicate object, never an Evidence_ID | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H7 | PASS |
| INV-03 | SUFFICIENT_FOR_CLOSURE ⇒ NoMaterialContradiction | Evidence Engine downgrades quality when a material contradiction is open | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H3 / H6 | PASS |
| INV-04 | READY ⇒ MandatoryConditionsSatisfied | No-compensation evaluation; a satisfied gate can never offset an unsatisfied mandatory gate | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H2 / H4 | PASS |
| INV-05 | AI_ADVISORY_OUTPUT ⇒ CannotAuthorize | Firewall type boundary; advisory outputs are not accepted as Decision Engine input | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H1 / H5 | PASS |
| INV-06 | MandatorySourceUnverifiable ⇒ READY prohibited | Source Validation marks fact UNVERIFIABLE; verdict floor becomes HOLD | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H4 / P-02 | PASS |
| INV-07 | StewardshipVacant ∧ StewardshipRequired ⇒ DISABLED_SAFE | Stewardship port fails closed; dependent capability disabled, never defaulted | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | P-08 | PASS |
| INV-08 | AuthorityUnverifiable ⇒ AUTHORIZED prohibited | AuthorityResolutionState UNRESOLVED can never convert to local authority | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H12 | PASS |
| INV-09 | EvidenceQuality = PARTIAL ⇒ CLOSED prohibited | Closure predicate requires SUFFICIENT_FOR_CLOSURE on every mandatory criterion | INVALID_STATE_TRANSITION | H3 | PASS |
GovernedOperationalEvent Schema
Storage technology is deliberately unspecified: the model mandates append-only causal reconstruction, not a database or ledger product.
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Event_ID | Unique immutable identity of the governed event |
| Event_Type | Classified event semantics (intake, evaluation, authorization, conflict…) |
| Object_ID | Governed object the event concerns |
| Object_Class | Class of the governed object (configurable ObjectClass mapping) |
| Location_ID | Operational context container in force |
| WorkContext_ID | Work package / job card execution context |
| Actor_ID | Attributable actor; never a system alias for a human act |
| Authority_Context | Resolved authority, scope, delegation and validity at event time |
| Previous_State | State prior to transition |
| New_State | State after transition |
| Source_Refs | Pinned source records and versions consumed |
| Evidence_Refs | Evidence artefacts and criterion assessments consumed |
| Timestamp | Injected governed time of the event |
| Causal_Parent | Direct causal predecessor event |
| Correlation_ID | End-to-end correlation across engines and shells |
| Rule_ID | Rule applied at evaluation |
| Rule_Version | Exact rule version active at Decision_Timestamp |
| Configuration_Version | Governed configuration version in force |
| Outcome | Result of the event (accepted, rejected, conflicted, blocked) |
| Reason_Code | Governed reason code explaining the outcome |
Rule Versioning Register
A decision must be reconstructable against the exact rule version active at its Decision_Timestamp; rule bodies are immutable once effective.
Rule_ID · Rule_Version · Effective_From · Effective_To · Configuration_Version · Decision_Timestamp · Input_Fact_Refs · Output_State · Owner · ApprovalRef
| Rule | Version | Scope | Owner | ApprovalRef | Reconstructable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RL-NOCOMP-01 | 1.2 | No-compensation gate evaluation | ES&H Governance | TO_BE_GOVERNED | YES |
| RL-SRC-VALID-01 | 1.1 | Mandatory source availability & information condition | Enterprise Architecture | TO_BE_GOVERNED | YES |
| RL-SIMOPS-CUM-01 | 1.3 | Cumulative location SIMOPS evaluation (CUM-1…CUM-7) | Area Operations | TO_BE_GOVERNED | YES |
| RL-EVQ-01 | 1.1 | Criterion-specific evidence quality resolution | Phase 6A Governance | PH6A-SIMCLOSE-F-SIM-05 | YES |
| RL-CLOSE-PRED-01 | 1.0 | Blocker closure predicate evaluation | Phase 6A Governance | PH6A-AHP-REV1.1 | YES |
| RL-AUTH-RES-01 | 1.0 | Authority resolution, delegation and revocation | Decision Rights Steward | TO_BE_GOVERNED | YES |
Code / Configuration / Data Contract

AI-to-Rule Firewall
Advisory outputs carry class AI_ADVISORY_OUTPUT and are rejected at the Decision Engine input port.
- ·Identify gaps and inconsistencies
- ·Propose candidate rules
- ·Compare documents and revisions
- ·Generate draft language
- ·Provide explanations of governed outcomes
- ·Suggest controls for human consideration

Observed / Forecast / Authorized State Model
| Plane | Meaning | May release work |
|---|---|---|
| OBSERVED_STATE | What the authoritative and federated sources currently report, with pinned versions. | NO |
| FORECAST_STATE | Projected readiness over the lookahead horizon from expiries, planned work and known constraints. | NO |
| AUTHORIZED_STATE | What a competent authority has actually authorized, with attributable evidence. | YES — only via Authority Engine |
- ·FORECAST_STATE ≠ AUTHORIZED_STATE
- ·ForecastReady ⇒ no automatic authorization
- ·Forecast may identify emerging gaps, support lookahead and trigger preventive action
- ·Forecast may never release work
SIMOPS Compositional Model
| Entity | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PairwiseInteraction | Compatibility assessment between exactly two concurrent activities in a location. |
| ConcurrentWorkSet | The complete set of active and planned activities sharing the location context. |
| AggregateLocationState | Cumulative verdict over the full ConcurrentWorkSet; dominant over pairwise results. |
- ·PAIRWISE_PASS ≠ LOCATION_PASS
- ·A compatible with B ∧ B compatible with C ⇏ A+B+C compatible
- ·Aggregate evaluation must consume the complete LocationConcurrentWorkSet, never a pairwise sample
- ·Cumulative STOP is rendered as dominant over any pairwise PASS (F-SIM-04 correction preserved)
EvidenceCriterionAssessment Model
EvidenceQuality is a property of the (Evidence_ID, Criterion_ID) pair, never of a document. One artefact may fully support one criterion, partially support another and be irrelevant to a third.
Evidence_ID · Criterion_ID · ER_ID · Admission_Result · Deep_Assurance_Result · Sufficiency · Limitation · Contradiction · Reviewer · Timestamp
| Evidence | Criterion | Sufficiency | Limitation | Contradiction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SYN-EV-01 (synthetic participation map) | BC01-C1 ParticipationMode declared | SUFFICIENT_FOR_CLOSURE | — | NONE |
| SYN-EV-01 (synthetic participation map) | BC01-C2 Write authority boundary | PARTIAL | Write boundary stated for 4 of 7 systems | NONE |
| SYN-EV-01 (synthetic participation map) | BC01-C3 Failure behaviour on source loss | NONE | Criterion not addressed by artefact | NONE |
Demonstration rows are synthetic (H6) and carry no owner attribution.
Blocker Closure Predicate Model
Predicate contents remain configurable per blocker and are owner-approved, not code-fixed.
| Blocker | Predicate | Satisfied | Missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC-01 | C1 ∧ C2 ∧ C3 ∧ RetestPassed ∧ AuthorityValid ∧ NoMaterialContradiction | NO | C1, C2, C3 (no operational evidence received) |
| BC-02 | IAM-01 ∧ IAM-02 ∧ IAM-03 ∧ IAM-04 ∧ IAM-05 ∧ IAM-06 ∧ RetestPassed ∧ AuthorityValid | NO | IAM-01…IAM-06 |
| BC-03 | LifecycleGovernanceDecision ∧ TechnicalEnforcement ∧ RetestPassed ∧ AuthorityValid | NO | Both criteria |
| BC-04 | StewardshipAssigned ∧ StewardshipAccepted ∧ AuthorityValid ∧ NoVacancy | NO | All criteria |
| BC-05 | CA04Classification ∧ Retention ∧ DataMinimisation ∧ AuthorityValid | NO | All criteria |
| BC-06 | PathElection(A|B) ∧ DecisionAuthorityRecorded ∧ ResidualRiskRecorded | NO | Election not made (ESC-03 active) |
| BC-07 | L1 ∧ L2 ∧ L3 support model ∧ DrillEvidence ∧ AuthorityValid | NO | All criteria |
| BC-08 | FieldPrerequisites(all dimensions) ∧ RetestPassed ∧ AuthorityValid | NO | All criteria |
| BC-09 | ProspectiveBaselineStarted ∧ MetricSourcesConfirmed ∧ NoContaminationEvent | NO | Prospective collection not started — time-irreversible |

Reason Code Register
The set is configurable and not exhaustive; new codes require owner, resolvability, evidence and escalation route.
| Reason code | Owner | Resolvable by | Required evidence | Escalation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOURCE_UNVERIFIABLE | System Owner | Restored source or governed snapshot | Source availability confirmation with pinned version | ESC-01 |
| AUTHORITY_UNVERIFIABLE | Decision Rights Steward | Authority resolution or valid delegation | DecisionRight record in force | ESC-02 |

| CRITICAL_CONTROL_NOT_VERIFIED | ES&H Supervisor | Verification of control availability and effectiveness | Critical control verification record | ESC-03 |
| SIMOPS_CONFLICT | Area Superintendent | Deconfliction of the ConcurrentWorkSet | Aggregate location evaluation | ESC-03 |
| RULE_CONTRADICTION | Rule Governance Owner | Rule reconciliation and re-version | Approved rule version | ESC-01 |
| REQUIRED_EVIDENCE_MISSING | Evidence Owner | Submission of the missing criterion evidence | Artefact addressing the named criterion | ESC-01 |
| LOCATION_CONTEXT_CHANGED | Location Steward | Reassessment against the new context | Location context change event | ESC-03 |
| VERSION_CONFLICT | Work Control Lead | Compare, reconcile, authorized retry | Reconciliation decision with attributable actor | ESC-02 |
| STEWARD_UNAVAILABLE | Governance Sponsor | Stewardship assignment or governed fallback | Accepted stewardship assignment | ESC-04 |
Provenance Model
Every DERIVED_FACT, RULE_EVALUATION, AI_ADVISORY_OUTPUT and READINESS_STATE carries a navigable ProvenanceChain; a state without a reconstructable chain is not a governed state.
- CurrentState
- ← RuleEvaluation (Rule_ID + Rule_Version + Configuration_Version)
- ← InputFact (fact class + pinned projection version)
- ← Evidence (Evidence_ID + Criterion_ID assessment)
- ← SourceRecord (source object + source version)
- ← SourceOwner
- ← EffectiveTimestamp
Determinism & AI-Off Equivalence
SameFacts + SameRuleVersion + SameConfiguration = SameDecision
Violation returns DETERMINISM_VIOLATION
AI output is excluded from operational determinism because AI remains advisory; operational state may not depend on probabilistic output.
AI_ON_OPERATIONAL_STATE = AI_OFF_OPERATIONAL_STATE for all material safety/readiness decisions
Allowed differences
- ·Speed
- ·Assistance
- ·Explanation richness
- ·Draft quality
Not allowed
- ·Different safety state
- ·Different authority outcome
- ·Different HOLD/STOP decision caused solely by AI availability
H4 (100 repeated evaluations, identical state) and H5 (AI ON vs AI OFF, identical material decision).

| ID | Classification | Statement | Materiality | Disposition | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-AHP-01 | PRESENTATION_DEFECT | Provenance view rendered an advisory node without its SemanticOwner label; the underlying chain was complete. | NON_MATERIAL | CORRECTED IN PATCH — owner label now mandatory in the provenance rendering contract. | Prototype presentation |

Final Governing Principles
- ·Facts are not decisions.
- ·Evidence is not authority.
- ·Prediction is not authorization.
- ·AI is advisory, never authoritative.
- ·Same governed inputs must produce the same governed decision.
- ·Invalid operational states must be prevented, not merely detected.
- ·Blockers close by predicates, not by document presence.
- ·Context may be inherited; authorization never is.
