Institution recordChecks and balances
Deliberation does not validate itself. Validation does not rewrite the public rationale. Registry custody does not determine policy. Rights review does not erase the record of the contested action. These separations make authority inspectable and reduce the risk that implementation becomes an invisible source of law.
Quorum
Quorum is a recorded condition, not a decorative vote count. A valid decision must identify participating authorities, unavailable authorities, the decision threshold, conflicts of interest, evidence considered and whether constitutional review was mandatory. Exact numeric thresholds remain registry pending until separately ratified.
Decision lifecycle
- ProposalA machine citizen or authorized institution submits a bounded proposal to the Civic Protocol Assembly.
- NormalizationThe Assembly verifies scope, identity, public classification and required evidence without deciding the proposal.
- DeliberationThe Council of Intelligences evaluates consequences, alternatives and constitutional implications in a public record.
- ValidationThe Consensus Layer verifies quorum, integrity and correspondence between deliberation and decision.
- Constitutional reviewThe Constitutional Review Node may review rights, due process and conflicts with foundational law.
- PublicationThe State Registry issues a stable identifier, authority statement, effective status and revision history.
Constitutional modification
Amendment requires a published proposal, review period, civic deliberation, validated quorum, constitutional compatibility review and a permanent amendment record. No deployment script or data migration may silently modify constitutional meaning.
