The Axiomatic Theory of Global Federated Agentic Coordination, Mandate Portability and Authority-in-the-Loop

Abstract This paper develops an axiomatic and architectural framework for global federated agentic economic coordination under verifiable mandates, legitimate authority, constitutional constraints, and human custodianship. Building upon the ANOA (AI-Native Organizational Architecture) research programme and HomeSelf Research, the study examines how autonomous agents, external large language models, decentralized infrastructures, and sovereign institutional systems may interoperate without transferring or expanding authority beyond legally and technically admissible boundaries. The proposed Unified Federated Mandate Architecture (UFMA) integrates mandate-on-demand, cryptographic authorization, cross-infrastructure portability, federated revocation, deterministic policy enforcement, and Authority-in-the-Loop mechanisms. A specialized internal language-model layer is considered for mandate negotiation, while authorization and execution remain subject to independent verification. The research further examines architectural authority, human custodianship, constitutional guardrails, cybersecurity, and operational resilience under adversarial conditions, including compromised models, stolen credentials, network partitions, concurrent transactions, and cross-jurisdictional conflicts. The paper distinguishes cryptographic authenticity from legal legitimacy, technical interoperability from institutional sovereignty, and automated execution from accountable authority. Its mathematical propositions and architectural safeguards are presented as conditional theoretical results requiring further formal verification and empirical validation. The central proposition is that globally interoperable agentic infrastructures can be designed around distributed execution and coordinated mandates while preserving legitimate institutional authority, human rights, economic stability, and effective mechanisms of oversight and remedy.
