The platform governing its own AI (§V.6 / §VIII.5)
Model registry & governance
The differentiator: a governance-AI that obeys the governance rules it argues for. Every model is registered with a version and a published impact assessment before it may be used; the AI advises, a named human decides.
✓ Passes its own AI rules Every governing model obeys §VIII.5 / §XIX.3: open-source, reproducible, owned, and never a decider.
The algorithm register (§VIII.5)
| System | Role | Owner | Impact tier | Audit | Decides? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| §V.4 Router Classify who decides a question (value→people, technical→experts, interpretive→grounded). Routes, never rules. | route | Integrity & Safeguard Assembly | high | passed | never |
| §XIX.3 Threat-Matrix Detect candidate crisis signals fast. Authorises nothing; a human body declares. | detect | Crisis Defence Council (oversight: Integrity Assembly) | high | passed | never |
| §V.6 Decision-Support Strengthen evidence: modelling, scenario-testing, anomaly detection, plain-English translation. A named human owns the decision. | model | Domain expert board (per decision) | limited | passed | never |
Published algorithmic impact assessment · sovereignty is a configuration choice (SOVEREIGN_BASE_URL), not a rewrite.
Registered inference models
| Model | Version | Sovereign | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| claude:claude-opus-4-8 | opus-4-8 | frontier | Frontier reasoning model for the MVP; not sovereign — see the impact assessment for the §VIII.5 path. |
| claude:claude-sonnet-4-6 | sonnet-4-6 | frontier | Default model: lower cost, strong faithfulness; used for grounding and the eval lanes. |
| sovereign:open-weights | configurable | sovereign | OpenAI-compatible open-weights endpoint (vLLM/Ollama/self-hosted). The §VIII.5 sovereignty path — set SOVEREIGN_BASE_URL to run the core on an inspectable, jurisdiction-controlled model. |
| stub | 1 | sovereign | Deterministic test double — fully inspectable, no external inference. |
| cassette | 1 | sovereign | Recorded-response replay for the CI faithfulness gate. |
