Context and provenance

This page provides contextual information only. It does not define, modify, or supersede the Interpretive Governance standard.

The canonical, normative specification is available at:

Origin

Interpretive Governance was initiated and architected by Gautier Dorval as part of a broader research and practice effort focused on interpretive governance, semantic stabilization, and agentic systems.

The standard emerged from the formalization of prior doctrinal work (notably SSA-E + A2 + Dual Web) into a machine-first, auditable specification intended to constrain interpretation and decision-making in probabilistic systems.

Normative separation

This page is non-normative. The Interpretive Governance standard is intentionally self-contained and does not depend on this page, on any individual, or on any external implementation.

All normative definitions, conformance requirements, and validation procedures are defined exclusively by the canonical artifacts exposed at the root of the standard.
