Trine 6.0: Constitutional Authority Architecture for Advanced AI Systems

Trine 6.0 presents a constitutional governance architecture for advanced AI systems based on human primacy, bounded delegation, continuous verification, operative provenance, temporal limitation, and extinguishable authority. It formalizes the principle that legitimate authority originates only in human authorization, remains valid only through a continuous chain of provenance, and may arise from no independent AI source. Trine defines the legitimate space of action rather than the substantive content of action. This deposit preserves the consolidated Trine 6.0 canonical specification and reference baseline as of August 2026.
