Non-Bypassability
Execution path MUST NOT be bypassed or skipped.
No component can skip required validation stages.
No shortcut to execution exists in the system.
Execution Control Architecture (Public Draft)
Execution Control Architecture
Execution Control Architecture (V1.0) for external understanding and technical evaluation.
Execution authority is separated from software control.
Execution proceeds only when every required gate is satisfied.

Execution Authority Model
Execution = Access ∧ Decision ∧ SOP
Execution only occurs when all independent control layers agree.
No single component can independently authorize execution.
Execution Validity Conditions
Execution requires:
Verified identity (Access)
Finalized decision (Decision)
Complete execution path (SOP)
Failure of any condition MUST block execution.
Execution Control Principles
These principles define the trust boundary and control semantics of the system.
For the formal theory behind Execution Control, Physical Trust Boundary, Final Veto, and Fail Secure, read the AI Execution Engineering treatise. Read AI Execution Engineering
Communication/Decision Separation
Communication MUST NOT imply authorization.
Only decision logic can grant execution.
Transport does not imply trust.
Dual Policy + Veto
Execution MUST require multi-layer approval.
Any layer MAY veto execution.
Any layer can veto; no single layer can execute.
Normative Specification (Public)
Detailed constraints for architecture review, compliance, and implementation audits.
SOP (Unidirectional 4-Stage Chain)
Execution MUST follow a unidirectional, non-skippable chain.
Stage 1
Initiation
Mandatory verification
Stage 2
Cloud Audit
Mandatory verification
Stage 3
Authorization
Mandatory verification
Stage 4
Hardware Execution
Final execution adjudication
- • All critical operations MUST pass the full chain
- • If any stage is missing, operation MUST NOT execute
- • Hardware retains final adjudication authority
Tri-Domain Isolation (REE / Arbiter / SEE)
- • REE MUST NOT store plaintext keys or perform signing
- • Arbiter rejects invalid requests before core execution
- • SEE accepts instructions only from Arbiter domain
MUST / MUST NOT Rule Set
Key and Identity Constraints
- • Private keys MUST be generated and used inside secure hardware
- • Keys MUST NOT be exportable or migratable across devices
- • Requests MUST carry valid signatures and trusted certificate chains
Execution Safety Constraints
- • Blind signing MUST NOT be permitted
- • Aborted operations MUST NOT yield partial execution effects
- • Bypass paths and degraded execution paths MUST NOT exist
