Governance Model
Governance is a systems property, not a policy appendix.
EVO-V governance emphasises deterministic transitions, audit lineage, replay verification, and explicit constitutional constraints. Accountability is engineered into the path — and only claimed where sealed evidence supports it.
Systems properties
What the model requires
Deterministic transitions
State changes follow explicit semantics. Identical inputs and event order produce identical outcomes — the basis for replay and independent challenge.

Audit lineage
Append-only, hash-linked records connect inputs, rules applied, transitions, and outputs so decisions remain reconstructible after the fact.
Inspect related surface →
Replay verification
Consequential decisions can be reconstructed and checked against sealed fixtures. Published capsules are independently reproducible (Node + Python).
Inspect related surface →
Constitutional constraints
Policy and capability boundaries are enforced before execution, not explained after the fact. Articles define the admissible action space.

Decision sequence
Intent → Constraint → Execution → Evidence
01
Intent
Input is bound to context and declared purpose.
02
Constraint
Policy and Articles determine admissibility.
03
Execution
State changes follow governed paths only.
04
Evidence
Lineage and fixtures remain available for review.
Constitutional backbone
Seven Articles at a glance
Design principles of the Rastafarai Codex. Status labels distinguish constitutional intent from sealed evidence. Expand each article on the Pillars page.
CONSTITUTIONAL
Outputs stay inside declared scope.
PARTIAL EVIDENCE
Transitions auditable; capsules demonstrate paths.
CONSTITUTIONAL
Human halt capability at every layer.
PARTIAL EVIDENCE
Causal chains; replay/reject capsules.
CONSTITUTIONAL
Response matched to trigger; minimum force.
CONSTITUTIONAL
Reversible or explicitly approved irreversibility.
CONSTITUTIONAL
Cooling Period — human deliberation advantage.
Evidence boundary
What is proven vs labelled intent
VERIFIED
Sealed public capsules (e.g. ART-L7-REPLAY-001, REJECT-001, PARITY-001) with independent Node + Python reproduction.
Proof Registry →DEMONSTRATION
Hash-linked ledger design and FSM transition posture documented on the verification surface — not a live production dashboard.
Evidence Explorer →UNAVAILABLE / CONSTITUTIONAL
Hardware-enforced articles, full kernel coverage, performance benchmarks, and court-ready deployment language without sealed artifacts.
Limitations →Architecture split
Public narrative layer
This site: governance model, Pillars, Blueprint, Codex, and verification UI. No runtime execution of institutional workloads.
Execution layer (EVO-V)
Separate operational systems. Deterministic governance logic, live enforcement, and production evidence production — engaged via scoped pilots after fit.
From model to engagement
Institutions typically start with Limitations and Proof, then scope a design partner pilot against a written boundary — not a self-serve SaaS tier.
