ELV-PATENT-001 | ELV-OCPL-001 | ELV-PAC-COMP-001->006 ELV-PATENT-001 We propose the Pattern Attribution Treaty (PATENT) — a governance framework for technologies derived from substrate-invariant computation, in which attribution replaces ownership as the primary legal instrument. For technologiesoperating at the AGI capability frontier, openness is not an ethical preference buta structural requirement derivable from first principles. Three interlocking arguments are developed: the Obsolescence Ceiling Theorem, the Closed-System Instability Theorem, and the Open Attribution Architecture.
