TA-14 Authority Governance Architecture: The Governance of Legitimate Authority Before Binding, Commit, and Execution
Abstract
TA-14 Authority Governance Architecture is the architecture family within TA-14 that governs what must be true before authority may legitimately form, attach, delegate, persist, narrow, suspend, or refuse before binding, commit, execution, and outcome accountability can proceed. It extends Reliance Governance and Corpus Self-Governance by formalizing the authority formation layer required before consequence-bearing execution may proceed. DOI-006 establishes that authority is not permission alone. Authority is a governed condition that must be formed, evaluated, bounded, preserved, delegated only within scope, tested under pressure, and maintained before consequence-bearing action may legitimately proceed. Core doctrine: No admissible authority. No admissible execution. Bridge doctrine: No admissible self-governance. No admissible authority. Expanded v1.4 doctrine: No legitimacy-preserved authority. No admissible binding.
