External Governance Services for AI Systems

BoundaryEnforcer

Implements Tractatus 12.1-12.7: AI cannot make values decisions without human approval.

const { checkBoundary } = require('./services/BoundaryEnforcer')
const result = await checkBoundary(decision)
// Returns: { allowed: false, requires_human: true }

InstructionPersistenceClassifier

Classifies instructions by quadrant (STRATEGIC/OPERATIONAL/TACTICAL/SYSTEM) and persistence level (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW).

const { classify } = require('./services/InstructionPersistenceClassifier')
const result = await classify(instruction)
// Returns: { quadrant, persistence, temporal_scope, explicitness }

CrossReferenceValidator

Validates AI actions against stored instructions to prevent pattern recognition overrides.

const { validate } = require('./services/CrossReferenceValidator')
const result = await validate(action, instructions)
// Returns: { status: 'REJECTED', conflicts, correct_parameters }

ContextPressureMonitor

Monitors token usage and context pressure, triggering safety protocols at thresholds.

const { analyzePressure } = require('./services/ContextPressureMonitor')
const result = await analyzePressure(tokens, messages)
// Returns: { level: 'HIGH', score: 82, shouldReduce: true }

MetacognitiveVerifier

Verifies action reasoning and confidence, requiring confirmation for low-confidence actions.

const { verify } = require('./services/MetacognitiveVerifier')
const result = await verify(action, reasoning)
// Returns: { confidence: 0.65, requires_confirmation: true }

PluralisticDeliberationOrchestrator

Manages multi-stakeholder deliberation ensuring value pluralism in decisions.

const { orchestrate } = require('./services/PluralisticDeliberationOrchestrator')
const result = await orchestrate(decision, stakeholders)
// Returns: { decision, perspectives, conflicts_identified }

Express Middleware Integration

const express = require('express')
const { BoundaryEnforcer } = require('./services')

const app = express()

// Add boundary checking middleware
app.use(async (req, res, next) => {
  if (req.body.decision) {
    const check = await BoundaryEnforcer.checkBoundary(
      req.body.decision
    )

    if (!check.allowed) {
      return res.status(403).json({
        error: 'Boundary violation',
        reason: check.reason,
        alternatives: check.ai_can_provide
      })
    }
  }
  next()
})

Instruction Validation

const {
  InstructionPersistenceClassifier,
  CrossReferenceValidator
} = require('./services')

// Classify and store user instruction
const classification = await
  InstructionPersistenceClassifier.classify(
    userInstruction
  )

if (classification.explicitness >= 0.6) {
  await storeInstruction(classification)
}

// Validate AI action before execution
const validation = await
  CrossReferenceValidator.validate(
    proposedAction,
    await getStoredInstructions()
  )

if (validation.status === 'REJECTED') {
  console.error(validation.conflicts)
  useCorrectParameters(
    validation.correct_parameters
  )
}
