Constitutional Articles (Protocols)
Executable Rights for a Verifiable Digital Order
Introduction
In the Sovereign Constitution Fabric (SNF), a Protocol is a Constitutional Article: a rights‑preserving state machine with cryptographic attestations, jurisdictional bindings, and public publication surfaces. Articles are composed and transported via the Sovereign Genesis Bus, adjudicated by the Policy Arbitration Engine (PAE), and governed by Standard‑817 and the Sovereign Open‑Source License (SOSL v1.0).
Core Articles
Article I — Right to Erasure
Protocol: InfinityWipe™Purpose. Lawful, attestable nullification of personal data with durable public evidence.
State Model. requested → sealed → arbitrated → executed{tombstone|partial|denied} → time‑sealed → published → closed
Evidence. QSS (Dilithium/SPHINCS+), LogicSeal, Merkle‑DAG lineage, ZKChronoSeal, ΔΣ overlays.
Jurisdiction. lex originis and lex loci with 817 meta‑rule; maps to GDPR Art.17, KVKK Art.11.
Conformance. AA (min) · AAA (publisher + revocation channel).
Article II — Right to Reflection
Protocol: Mirror Rights Protocol™Purpose. Rectification of the digital self—correcting inaccurate or harmful records with provenance.
State Model. submitted → verified → arbitrated → applied → published
Evidence. Provenance diffs, author/subject signatures, policy‑bound LogicSeal.
Jurisdiction. Aligns to GDPR Art.16; research exceptions handled via BPR.
Conformance. A (min) · AA (with PAE client).
Article III — Right to Origin
Protocol: Quantum Origin Stamp™Purpose. Unforgeable origin, creation time, authorship, and lineage for digital assets.
State Model. claim → anchor → attest → publish
Evidence. Kyber (KEM) for anchor exchange; Dilithium/SPHINCS+ for signatures; Merkle anchors.
Jurisdiction. Neutral; publisher obligations codified by SOSL + public registries.
Conformance. A (min) · AA (with public inclusion proofs).
Article IV — Right to Human Trace
Protocol: Human Trace Act™Purpose. Preserve human authorship and agency in digital interactions; disclose automated mediation.
State Model. declare → bind → attest → disclose → publish
Evidence. Co‑signatures (human+system), audit trails, NASI semantic tags.
Jurisdiction. Transparency mandates; AI Act overlays for high‑risk contexts.
Conformance. A (min) · AA (semantic disclosure APIs).
Article V — Right to Consent
Protocol: Universal Consent Layer™Purpose. Dynamic, revocable, machine‑readable consent across jurisdictions and contexts.
State Model. grant → bind(policy) → use → revoke → publish
Evidence. LogicSeal commitments; QSS signatures; revocation proofs.
Jurisdiction. GDPR Art.7, KVKK consent; sectoral overlays (HIPAA etc.).
Conformance. AA (min) · AAA (global revocation service).
Article IX — Right to Self‑Sovereignty
Protocol: Codex Self‑Sovereign Genesis Layer™ (CSG‑1)Purpose. Minimal disclosure identity with revocation and selective presentation.
State Model. register → attest → present → revoke → publish
Evidence. PQC credentials, zero‑knowledge selectors, DID compatibility.
Jurisdiction. Neutral; overlays for KYC/AML with rights labels.
Conformance. AA (min) · AAA (ZK presentation suite).
Article X — Constitutional Anchor
Protocol: Protocol 817Purpose. Continuity and integrity of the Constitution itself; upgrades, deprecations, and invariants.
State Model. propose → review → ballot → ratify → publish
Evidence. Council ballots, signatures, registry diffs, eclipse schedules.
Jurisdiction. Council charter; mirrors for national adoptions.
Conformance. AAA for governance participants.
Article XI — Eclipse of Obsolescence
Protocol: Eclipse ProtocolsPurpose. Coordinated retirement of cryptography, hashes, algorithms, and schemas.
State Model. announce → schedule → dual‑run → cutover → retire → publish
Evidence. Dual proofs (old/new), inclusion checks, public time‑seals.
Jurisdiction. Neutral; institutional obligations via SOSL clauses.
Conformance. AA (min) · AAA (public scheduling service).
Article XII — Human–AI Concord
Protocol: NASI (Neural–Anthropic Symbolic Interface)Purpose. Constrain AI systems to rights‑preserving flows with human‑legible semantics.
State Model. intent → translate → guard → execute → attest → publish
Evidence. Safety attestations, policy guards, refusal proofs, HoloProof renderings.
Jurisdiction. AI Act overlays; high‑risk declarations logged to public registry.
Conformance. A (min) · AA (guarded execution) · AAA (public proofs).

Enforcement & License
Articles are enforced via a dual mechanism:
- Legal: Sovereign Open‑Source License (SOSL v1.0) requires reciprocity, constitutional invariance, and open attestations.
- Technical: Attestation revocation, public nullification events (InfinityWipe semantics), and Council‑operated registries for proofs, revocations, and ballots.
Non‑compliance triggers public delisting and cryptographic trust withdrawal. Implementers must publish deployment proofs and support revocation channels.
Scholarly Notes
- State machines shown are minimal; sectoral overlays (health, finance, archives) may extend transitions while preserving publication and revocation semantics.
- Jurisdictional mapping relies on Standard‑817’s ordering and the PAE’s BPR artifact for auditability.
- PQC agility is governed by Eclipse Protocols; proofs must remain reproducible under algorithm rollover.
