Governance
This page is an attractor gateway, not a canon declaration. It compresses current evidence in the Work Vault and points toward underlying research.
<!-- BEGIN CURATED SEMANTIC COMPRESSION -->
Semantic Compression
In this vault, governance is how power becomes structure: the translation of constraint, legitimacy, accountability, coordination, and drift management into systems that can survive human and machine agency.
Why It Matters
Governance is where consent, trust, provenance, and attention become institutional or operational. It is also where living loops can become extractive if accountability fails.
Core Motifs
- legitimacy
- constraint
- accountability
- institutions
- drift
- coordination
- power and legibility
