Extension: When AI Agents Commit: Cognitive Serializability Across Data, Evidence, Policy, and Authority

Record: kaal:position:2026-09-26-001 · 2026-09-26

Authority that exists when reasoning begins is insufficient if it can disappear before an effect becomes durable. He and Yu add a concrete commit-time mechanism to this authority-drift problem. Their strict profile holds registered data, evidence, policy, and authority premises through durability; their compatible profile recertifies the effect against current dependencies and policy. The extension is conditional on complete registered footprints, trusted mediation, and effects that cannot bypass the gate. It does not establish semantic truth or production-wide safety.
