AUREX-G v2.0 — The Definitive Meta-Governance Architecture for Structural Governance, Long-Horizon Institutional Safety, and Civilizational Control of Power-Bearing Intelligent Systems

Title 

AUREX-G v2.0 — The Complete Meta-Governance Architecture for Structural Governance, Long-Horizon Institutional Safety, and Control of Power-Bearing Intelligent Systems

ZENODO DESCRIPTION (Final Ultimate Canonical Version)

Overview

AUREX-G v2.0 (Authority Expiration & Risk-Exchange Governance) is a comprehensive, sovereign-neutral, and internationally defensible meta-governance architecture developed for the long-horizon control, limitation, and institutional containment of super-scale intelligent systems and power-bearing socio-technical infrastructures.

This Zenodo record constitutes the Final Ultimate Canonical Edition (Version 2.0) of the AUREX-G framework. It represents a complete, stable, and archival-grade release integrating theory, policy, law, institutional architecture, compliance engineering, and technical reference design into a single coherent governance system.

AUREX-G does not operate at the level of ethics guidelines, regulatory checklists, or procedural best practices.Instead, it introduces a new class of infrastructure:systems designed to govern governance itself.

Foundational Problem Addressed

This work addresses one of the most fundamental unresolved questions of advanced technological civilization:

How can societies prevent institutions, intelligent systems, and governance structures from accumulating irreversible, unaccountable power across decades and generations?

AUREX-G answers this by introducing structural architectures that make power itself:

Measurable

Auditable

Structurally constrained

Reversible

Terminable

Capture-resistant

Accountable across generations

These are not metaphorical concepts. They are formally defined, operationally modeled, and technically reproducible mechanisms.

Canonical Corpus Composition (Four Volumes)

This release integrates four internally consistent and cross-validated volumes, together forming the complete AUREX-G v2.0 canon:

1. AUREX-G v2.0 — Global Governance Framework

The theoretical and conceptual foundation defining:

Authority expiration

Meta-governance logic

Institutional mortality

Structural irreversibility

Long-horizon systemic risk containment

2. AUREX-G v2.0 — Global Policy & Adoption Framework

A fully deployable sovereign-neutral policy corpus including:

Legal and constitutional compatibility

Legislative and regulatory models

Diplomatic instruments

National toolkits

Multilateral pathways

Institutional adoption architectures

3. AUREX-G v2.0 — Compliance and Assurance Guide

A formal governance assurance architecture specifying:

Compliance logic

Auditability criteria

Evidence sufficiency

Burden of proof models

Structural safeguards

Misuse prevention

Institutional integrity evaluation

4. AUREX-G v2.0 — Technical Reference Architecture (TRA) & Implementation Blueprint

An engineering-grade technical architecture including:

Formal models and mathematical definitions

Executable Python reference implementations

Reproducible simulations and Monte Carlo validation

Machine-readable schemas (JSON, YAML, ontology structures)

Governance DSL concepts

Cryptographic auditability mechanisms

Deterministic evaluation pipelines

Reproducibility artifacts suitable for scientific verification

Each volume functions both:

As a stand-alone scholarly reference, and

As part of a single unified governance architecture stack spanning theory → policy → law → compliance → engineering.

Original Contributions

AUREX-G introduces novel governance constructs including:

Authority Accumulation Index (AAI)

Structural Reversibility Metrics

Institutional Mortality & Termination-by-Design

Governance-of-Governance architectures

Oversight-of-oversight mechanisms

Meta-oversight structural constraints

Irreversibility detection frameworks

Capture-resistant institutional design

Long-horizon governance telemetry

Auditability as infrastructure

Reproducible governance evaluation systems

These contributions define an emerging field:Governance Systems Engineering

Philosophical & Institutional Positioning

AUREX-G is explicitly:

Politically neutral

Ideology-independent

Sovereignty-preserving

Jurisdiction-agnostic

Compatible with democratic, hybrid, corporate, and multilateral systems

Structural rather than normative

Non-prescriptive regarding outcomes

It does not propose what societies should decide.It proposes how governance itself must be structured so that no system of power becomes structurally irreversible.

Core Characteristics

Sovereign-neutral and jurisdiction-compatible

Constitutionally adaptable and legally defensible

Technologically agnostic and future-resilient

Deterministic, auditable, and reproducible

Independent of corporate, governmental, or geopolitical control

Designed for multi-decade institutional stability

Intended Audience

This corpus is designed for:

Policymakers and legislators

Government institutions and regulators

International organizations (UN, OECD, World Bank, etc.)

Constitutional and legal scholars

Governance architects and auditors

Systems engineers and safety researchers

Academic institutions and think tanks

Standards bodies and institutional designers

It is suitable for:

Scholarly citation

Policy adoption

Institutional deployment

Standards-level discourse

Long-term archival reference

Status Declaration

This release is not a draft, proposal, or experimental concept.

It is a final, stable, publication-grade, and archival-quality canonical edition, intended for serious institutional consideration, scholarly citation, and long-horizon policy reference.

Any future versions (v3.0 and beyond), if released, will be evolutionary rather than corrective, and will not alter the foundational governance architecture established in this edition.
