Technical governance
The kernel has rules. They do not depend on personal discretion.
Governance is not a memo. It is the control system preventing drift, silent changes and arbitrary operation.
Definition
Not politics. Control engineering.
Governance means formal conditions for learning, structural change and perimeter protection.
Transparency
Reserved does not mean unexplainable.
Core access is restricted, but outputs remain traceable, versioned and auditable.
Change control
Changes are declared, not silent.
Relevant evolution is versioned, explained and operationally traceable.
