No Runtime Verifiability → Neutral Witnessing

This response addresses assumptions about runtime evidence availability; it does not resolve insider threat, institutional trust, or data integrity failure modes.

AI-2027 Reference: Safety-relevant evidence often emerges through internal logs, memos, or whistleblowers after concerning behavior has already occurred.

A. What AI-2027 Claims Here

AI-2027 describes a world in which signs of misalignment or dangerous capability are discovered late, typically via internal documentation or leaks, with external parties unable to independently verify claims in real time.

B. Assumptions Underneath

• Execution evidence is internal and discretionary.
• External verification is unavailable at runtime.
• Trust in institutions substitutes for proof.

C. What Changes Under a Constitutional Execution Architecture

Execution is accompanied by neutral witnessing: cryptographically verifiable, replayable traces that attest to what was executed and within which bounds. Verification is public and non-interactive, without granting control.

D. Relevant Components

• ForgeRun (neutral execution witness)
• Chain of Fact (FRS) (immutable provenance)

E. Outcome Difference

Risk signals become independently verifiable earlier, reducing reliance on leaks and institutional trust.

F. What This Does Not Solve

• Does not compel adoption.
• Does not guarantee correctness of interpretations.
• Does not enforce outcomes.
