Constitutional Architecture for Intelligent Systems Jurisdiction, Standing, and Lawful Action

This paper introduces constitutional architecture as a governance layer for intelligent systems, addressing what behavioural alignment alone does not: how authority is constituted, how reasoning acquires institutional effect, and how lawful action, conflict, drift, and constitutional change are governed.

This initial public release provides the foundation for Grey Dove’s current work on Procedural Constitutional Architecture (PCA).
