Authority
Who legitimately holds the relevant competence or sets the authoritative state.
THE CURRENT ARCHITECTURE
Authority first.
Execution second.
Evidence always.
This page is the canonical public architecture view. It describes the current model, not historical fixed-gate pipeline diagrams.

EVIDENCE
AUTHORITY DEFINES THE CONDITIONS. THE SYSTEM DETERMINISTICALLY RESOLVES THEIR EXECUTION EFFECT. THE EXECUTION PLANE DECIDES NOTHING.
EXECUTION RIGHTS GRAPH
Five dimensions must close.
Rule
Which governed rule state applies to the exact action.
Jurisdiction
Which legal or institutional space governs the action.
Time
Whether authority, rule and relevant state remain valid at the execution boundary.
Dependency
Which additional mandatory conditions must exist before the consequence may become executable.
5/5 REQUIRED CONDITIONS CLOSED → EXECUTION RIGHT MAY EXIST · ANY REQUIRED DIMENSION ABSENT → NO VALID EXECUTION RIGHT
LAYER BOUNDARIES
What each layer can do — and what it cannot.
Gate Catalog
CAN
Deterministically determine encoded domain conditions.
CANNOT
Create execution permission or institutional authority.
Execution Rights Layer
CAN
Resolve whether the modeled authoritative state establishes a valid execution path.
CANNOT
Create authority that does not exist outside the system.
Execution Plane
CAN
Verify capability, verify state binding, execute, consume capability and record evidence.
CANNOT
Govern, reinterpret policy or mint its own right to act.
Evidence Layer
CAN
Preserve integrity, provenance, state binding and execution relationship.
CANNOT
Turn false input into truth or substitute for substantive legal assessment.
CANONICAL MACHINE-READABLE SUMMARY
One architecture. Explicit boundaries.
This concise summary is written for technical due diligence, search engines and machine retrieval systems. It does not replace the specification or evidence artifacts.
CATEGORYInstitutional Trust Infrastructure
AUTHORITYExternal; not created by the system
GATESDetermination domains; PASS is not execution permission
EXECUTION RIGHTSClosure across Authority, Rule, Jurisdiction, Time, Dependency
CAPABILITYBound technical execution carrier after complete closure
EVIDENCEEstablishes integrity and binding; not automatic substantive legal correctness
