Delegated Coherence Monitoring: AI-Assisted Verification and Drift Detection Under Human Governance

SM-011: Delegated Coherence Monitoring Delegated Coherence Monitoring (SM-011) defines the architecture for delegating coherence monitoring, drift detection, ingestion verification, and continuity auditing to designated functions under explicit human governance. It specifies why the observation/adjudication separation is an architectural necessity; the monitoring capacity problem in AI interaction requires continuous coverage that exceeds individual human attention capacity. Key components include: Guardian Architecture: Entity-agnostic monitoring functions that observe and report without adjudicating Failure Mode Taxonomy: Detailed specifications for guardian drift, throughput saturation, and false assurance…
