3. Design Thesis

AIGP-VGL is based on ten claims:

  1. Autonomous systems require observable governance state.
  2. Normal communication may fail in the environments where governance matters most.
  3. A system’s governance state should not remain private inside the system.
  4. Visual glyphs can provide a compact state projection for machines and trained humans.
  5. Glyphs must be derived from AIGP-SGL, not invented ad hoc.
  6. Glyphs must bind to D-DNA evidence.
  7. Glyphs must be treated as claims, not truth, until verified or corroborated.
  8. A visual glyph frame may support redundant distributed enforcement.
  9. Communication to one affected actor should become communication to all affected actors when ENFORCE state applies.
  10. VGL must fail safe under spoofing, ambiguity, unreadability, or verification failure.

The AIGP-VGL doctrine is:

Display state. Verify evidence. Corroborate locally. Enforce safely. Record D-DNA.
