Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

The conceptual paper proposes a code-capable engineer as an independent verification function within or directly accountable to an AI-governance structure, responsible for translating governance claims into executable tests, reproducing material system claims, documenting discrepancies, and escalating unresolved failures before authorization.

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; the full role charter, propositions, and proposed experiment were not inspected.
  • The page characterizes the work as conceptual and explicitly does not establish that one engineer can resolve legal, social, or ethical questions.

Source independence
