Execution Boundary
The execution boundary is where operational actions transition from intent into consequence.
Execution Architecture
Runtime Governance at the Execution Boundary
ManChine architecture focuses on the point where autonomous reasoning becomes operational consequence.
RiCo Runtime Model
Execution Integrity Flow
RiCo validates authority, admissibility, interruption integrity, and execution continuity before operational actions become real-world effects.
Authority Resolution
RiCo validates whether admissible authority remains structurally valid under current runtime conditions before continuation proceeds.
Fail-Closed Governance
If admissibility cannot validly resolve, execution should not continue operationally.
Governance must survive operational reality.
Autonomous systems may remain operationally coherent while runtime-reachable consequence paths continue underneath retries, stale continuation, fallback escalation, or distributed execution pressure.
Runtime governance exists to ensure execution remains aligned with human legitimacy under operational conditions.
