LOCUS CORE: Human Executive Locus Architecture for Governed Exocortical Systems

LOCUS CORE specifies the constitutional architecture of governed exocortical delegation. It distinguishes delegable capability — Potentia — from non-delegable executive authority — Potestas — and defines the LIMES as the threshold at which determined execution ceases to be sufficient and the active exercise of Potestas must be reinstated before legitimate closure. Version 5.1 consolidates the canonical architecture introduced in Version 5.0 while applying a localized constitutional refinement. It formalizes METATOR as the executive protocol for Cognitive Contract mediation and ratification, specifies the instantiation of the Human Executive Locus in multi-human systems, and sharpens the jurisdictional language governing Return and Revocation. The edition also incorporates bibliographic status corrections and a fully revised publication layout. LOCUS Architecture is explicitly specified and technically instantiable. Its mechanisms, instruments, and predicted effects remain subject to empirical validation. Version 5.1 supersedes Version 5.0 as the current public Zenodo edition. Version 4.0 remains a private developmental release and was not deposited publicly.
