Public index for execution-boundary AI governance research.
A canonical, crawlable inspection index for one governance research workstream.
It lists repositories, papers, terminology, provenance, and inspection levels.
It is not a product site, authority claim, or compliance surface.
Non-claims:
This index does not certify safety, compliance, correctness, regulatory adequacy, production readiness, or institutional endorsement. See each repository’s NON-CLAIMS.md or CLAIM_BOUNDARY.md for per-repo scope.
Where does the system physically stop?
Governance becomes real at the execution boundary: where an AI-supported system must either prove authority to act or fail closed with an inspectable refusal receipt.

| 6 | Verifiable Cryptographic Proof | Receipts signed and independently verifiable |
| 7 | Runtime Enforcement Evidence | Downstream execution provably prevented |
| 8 | Production Interrupt Mechanism Claim | Sustained enforcement under operational conditions |
Level assignments are informational. Lower levels are legitimate positions. No level is a failure verdict.
Papers include explicit claim boundaries, canonical repo links, and provenance.
| Paper | Status | Canonical repo | DOI / Preprint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governance at the Point of Mutation: Why Control Is Real Only When Inadmissible Transitions Are Unreachable | Draft / under review | commit-gate-core | Pending |
| Execution-Boundary Governance: Admissibility at the Point of Consequence | Draft | execution-boundary-lab | Pending |
Papers are updated here as DOIs and preprint links become available.
All papers carry the following non-claim: This paper is a research artefact. It does not constitute production guidance, compliance certification, or regulatory advice.
These terms are reused deliberately to keep the research surface semantically coherent, not to claim ownership over the language.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| execution-boundary AI governance | Governance applied at the point where AI systems produce consequences, not before or after |
| runtime governance | Control mechanisms that operate during execution, not only at design time |
| admissibility at execution time | Determining whether a proposed action meets required conditions before execution proceeds |
| refusal receipts | Structured records showing an action was refused, what was proposed, and what check failed |
| fail-closed AI governance | Design principle: on any governance failure, the system stops rather than proceeds |
| consequence control | Governance applied specifically at the point where actions produce irreversible or externally-visible effects |
| decision record | Signed, scoped, time-bound authorisation required for governed mutation |
| commit gate | Deterministic, fail-closed check sequence at the execution boundary |
| custody chain | Ordered record of who held responsibility for an action at each step |
| stop_was_reachable | Whether a stop mechanism was available at the time a governed event occurred |
