**Affirmed position.** Local compliance does not establish collective authorization. The paper's constructed finance simulations show how locally acceptable components can produce disparate collective outcomes and how distributional monitoring may surface drift earlier. This extends the authority-drift diagnosis to population-level composition. The architecture and simulations do not establish production effectiveness, deployed language-model behavior, or legal compliance. The work remains a reference architecture and falsifiable research agenda.
