1. Abstract
This RFC defines ENFORCE Broadcast, the AIGP mechanism for distributing short-lived enforcement state across agentic and autonomous systems.
Autonomous environments are dynamic. A governance state may change in seconds because authority expires, mission scope changes, a hazard appears, a human enters a danger zone, communication fails, a system leaves its envelope, a civilian is detected, or cognitive harm risk emerges.
Static policy is insufficient for this environment.
ENFORCE Broadcast treats enforcement as an ephemeral, signed, scoped, time-bound, rebroadcastable governance state.
The core principle is:
In autonomous environments, enforcement must be treated as short-lived distributed state, not as static instruction.
A second principle follows:
Communication to one affected actor must become verifiable communication to all affected actors.
