From 3627a916f58e83dbd6962c4842752a5985470ff4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arkadiy Miteiko Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 23:12:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Define the Open Audit Mission role Establish this repository as the canonical public home for the OAM definition, per owner disposition of 2026-09-08 under CAT-ALIGN-001B. OAM is the examination and audit-authority workflow within Open Institutional Computation: who may examine a bounded institutional-continuity claim, what evidence is examined, how disposition, correction and replay are recorded, and whether an examination result is fit for later institutional reliance. The exclusions are stated as plainly as the role. OAM does not create institutional authority, compile policy, establish ZTL logical warrant, or authorize exact runtime execution. Its authority is evidentiary, not causal. This definition resolves a conflict recorded in the CAT-ALIGN-001B census between two published surfaces, one describing OAM as a standing/examination workflow and another as constraining operational authority. Architecture definition only. No implementation status is claimed or implied, and no runtime code is added.
