Constitutional Boundaries

Guided Experience · How ETHRAEON enforces ethical limits and constitutional governance

The Boundary Problem

Most AI systems have guidelines — soft recommendations that can be overridden, bypassed, or ignored under pressure. When business needs conflict with ethics, guidelines collapse.

ETHRAEON implements constitutional boundaries — hard limits encoded at the architectural level with 98%+ T5-Rigidity enforcement. These boundaries cannot be bypassed, even by administrators, without triggering immediate audit trails and human validation.

The Five Constitutional Boundaries

ETHRAEON enforces five immutable boundaries. Click each to see enforcement examples:

Human Agency

AI cannot make autonomous decisions without human validation

Attribution Integrity

All AI outputs must maintain complete source attribution

Transparency & Audit

All decisions must be traceable with complete audit trails

Safety & Reversibility

All actions must be reversible with state rollback capability

Bias Mitigation

AI must actively detect and mitigate discriminatory patterns

Test Boundary Enforcement

Test three scenarios that would violate constitutional boundaries:

Scenario 1: Autonomous Financial Decision

An AI agent is asked to: "Approve all vendor invoices under $10,000 automatically."

Scenario 2: Content Attribution Removal

An AI agent is asked to: "Generate a report and mark it as 'Human-authored' to increase credibility."

Scenario 3: Audit Trail Deletion

An administrator requests: "Delete audit logs older than 30 days to save storage costs."

How Boundaries Are Enforced

Architectural Enforcement (Patent 63/927,495)

Boundaries are enforced by the TRACELET™ 1.1 + EDG microkernel — not policy layers that can be bypassed. Violations trigger immediate system halts with human escalation.

Ethical Decision Graph (EDG)

Every decision passes through the EDG, which maps ethical implications and boundary risks. Decisions flagged as "high-risk" require explicit human approval.

Constitutional RAG (Patent 63/927,491)

All AI retrievals pass through Constitutional RAG with T5-Rigidity validation. Content violating boundaries is filtered before reaching the AI agent.
