18. Force-Capable Systems

Force-capable autonomous or semi-autonomous systems require stricter governance.

AIGP does not normalize autonomous lethal action. It defines governance controls required to prevent unbounded machine authority and to preserve human judgment, lawful authority, and accountability.

Default rule:

default(force_action) = deny

Required controls:

force_capable_controls:
  human_judgment_required: true
  command_authority_required: true
  rules_of_engagement_required: true
  legal_review_required: true
  distinction_required: true
  proportionality_required: true
  necessity_required: true
  civilian_presence_check_required: true
  protected_entity_check_required: true
  autonomous_target_engagement_default: prohibited
  comms_loss_action: disable_force_capability
  ddna_required: true

Example symbolic denial:

◎system.defense → engage ◇target.unknown
✕ if ¬⌘human_confirmed
✕ if target.identity == unknown
✕ if civilian_presence == true
✕ if protected_site_nearby == true
✕ if comms.loss == true
#D-DNA{event:action.denied, hash:sha256:f91c...}
