The Laws of Computable Authority

The compressed argument behind the discipline — what has to be true before institutional authority can be safely executed by machines.

01
Law 1
Authority Must Be Explicit Before It Can Be Executed.
Machines cannot execute implicit interpretation.
02
Law 2
Unrecorded Interpretation Does Not Scale.
What humans resolve informally becomes systemic variance under automation.
03
Law 3
Logic Must Be Formal Before It Can Scale.
Execution requires deterministic representations of institutional intent.
04
Law 4
Authority Must Precede Automation.
Automation without explicit authority is merely faster interpretation.
05
Law 5
Intelligence Executes Systems — It Does Not Repair Them.
More capable AI amplifies the quality of the governing authority rather than correcting it.
06
Law 6
Every Automated Decision Must Be Independently Verifiable.
If a decision cannot be reproduced against the governing authority, it cannot be meaningfully audited.

These are working laws, not settled ones — the compressed version of the argument made in full in the Manifesto.
