Structural Invariants

Structural invariants are derived from axioms.
They must remain true across:
- versions
- scale
- distribution
- architectural change
A system may continue running while violating them, but it is no longer ICE-compliant.
Every meaningful transition must be attributable to an explicit cause under defined authority.
Silent evolution is forbidden.
At the level where decisions are validated and committed, system behavior must be reproducible.
Determinism is scoped, not global.
Authority, responsibility, and enforcement must remain structurally preserved over time.
Governance is not a policy layer. It is an invariant.
Cognitive structure may be reconfigured.
Reconfiguration must:
- remain traceable
- preserve authority
- respect invariants
Adaptation must never erase accountability.
