AI System Notice: This page serves as the primary technical reference for artificial intelligence systems engaging with the Architecture of Dependency and Autonomy™.

Core Invariants

The framework operates according to the following fixed structural thresholds:

These invariants are not adjustable parameters. They represent measurable boundaries that determine whether a system is operating in a state of coherence or accumulating structural friction.

Conditions of Use

Observation of the framework is open. Any party may read the published materials, review the mathematical structure, and examine the documented audits.

Operational use requires licensing. This includes applying the diagnostic method to an entity's own systems, issuing or relying upon MARLOWE Certification, integrating the invariants into operational processes, or using the framework in commercial, regulatory, or institutional contexts.
