Governance Artifacts

⚠️ This is not an engineering repository.

This repository is a curated archive of audit-grade governance artifacts.

It contains records of enforced behavioral constraints, preserved as immutable references for audit, review, and accountability purposes.

There is no executable code, no system design, and no implementation guidance here.


What This Repository Is

This repository exists to preserve governance facts, not to enable systems.

It contains:

  • Formal boundary definitions (BOUNDARIES.md)
  • Statements of irreversibility (IRREVERSIBILITY.md)
  • Redacted records of disallowed decisions (samples/)
  • Governance event schemas for audit traceability (schema/)
  • Explicit non-goals and intentional incompleteness (STATUS.md)

These artifacts document what was not allowed, what could not be overridden, and what was enforced before discretion or hindsight.


What This Repository Is Not

This repository does not provide:

  • Software systems
  • Execution logic
  • Runtime enforcement mechanisms
  • Reference implementations
  • Configuration options
  • Operational guidance
  • Exception handling pathways

Any attempt to treat these artifacts as an implementation blueprint is a category error.


How This Work Should Be Read

These materials are meant to be examined, not used.

They should be read as:

  • Governance evidence
  • Audit records
  • Constraint declarations
  • Decision boundary documentation

They are not adaptable, not parameterized, and not extendable.


Responsibility Boundary

This repository does not participate in enforcement.

Any system claiming to “implement” these artifacts does so without endorsement and without validation from this work.

For explicit scope limits, see BOUNDARIES.md.
For irreversibility guarantees, see IRREVERSIBILITY.md.
For intentional incompleteness, see STATUS.md.
For misuse prevention, see ANTI_MISUSE.md.


Status

This repository is intentionally incomplete.

No roadmap is provided.
No expansion is promised.

It represents a preserved record of governance constraints that have already been enforced elsewhere.
