Infrastructure scales with capital. Governance scales with constitutional rigor. They are not the same.
Every number above is derived from live runtime. Clone the repository. Run the tools. Verify independently. Capital can buy engineering hours. It cannot buy governance history, evidence chains, or patent priority dates retroactively.
Every AI action passes through a Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) before execution. If the governance check fails, the action does not execute. No override below AC-1.
Every decision produces a cryptographically linked evidence node in the Evidence Directed Graph (EDG). Append-only. Tamper-evident. SHA-256 hash chain. Indefinite retention.
DELTASUM canonical hashes verify data integrity. If a byte changes, the system detects it. Forbidden pattern scanning runs on every commit. Zero violations across 747+ files.
| Family | Count | Status | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Constitutional AI | 7 | FILED | Governance framework, fail-closed, authority hierarchy |
| ROSETTA Triad | 3 | FILED | Harmonic resonance, attunement, semiotic coherence |
| Consciousness Recognition | 5 | FILED | Human sovereignty, ethical boundaries |
| Evidence & Audit | 8 | DOCUMENTED | EDG, hash chains, compliance verification |
| Temporal Governance | 5 | DOCUMENTED | KAIROS, timing windows, ethical timing |
| Defensive / Strategic | 25 | DOCUMENTED | Market coverage, competitive exclusion |
| Global Fairness (Family 9) | 7 | PROPOSED | Demographic gates, regional overlays |
Any competitor building runtime AI governance enforcement must license these claims or design around them. The patent wall covers constitutional enforcement, evidence chains, temporal governance, alignment protocols, and sovereign deployment.
Maximum allowed score delta before staged review is required.
Canon-level changes require dual-authority approval. No auto-apply.
Thresholds are cross-referenced across scoring_config.yaml, chron_engine.py, mutation_proposal.yaml, and sovereign_mode_config.yaml. Drift guard validates consistency: 13/13 PASS. Zero drift.
| Dimension | Infrastructure | Governance |
|---|---|---|
| Scales with | Capital | Constitutional rigor |
| Can be acquired | Yes — buy the team | No — cannot buy evidence history or priority dates |
| Enforcement model | CI pipeline | PEP + EDG + hash chain + temporal gates |
| Mutation control | PR review | CDASA thresholds + dual authority + staged proposals |
| Compliance proof | Audit preparation | Auto-generated regulatory packs from runtime |
| Sovereign deployment | Roadmap item | Validated — 27/27 PASS |
| Replication cost | 12–18 months | 18–24 months + $500K+ patent costs |
