TA-14 Legitimacy Governance Architecture: The Governance of Legitimate Authority Before Consequence Formation, Attachment, Binding, Commit, Execution, and Outcome
Annotatsiya
TA-14 Legitimacy Governance Architecture is the architecture family within TA-14 that governs what must be true before authority becomes legitimate enough to produce, permit, transmit, or attach consequence before consequence formation, attachment, binding, commit, execution, and outcome accountability proceed. It extends Authority Governance by formalizing the legitimacy formation layer required before consequence-bearing action may proceed. DOI-007 establishes that authority is not legitimacy. Authority identifies a role, permission, delegation, jurisdiction, credential, policy source, technical access, or corpus claim. Legitimacy governs whether that authority validly applies to a specific consequence, scope, time, record, affected surface, dependency state, transition history, restoration status, and review boundary. Version 1.3 integrates legitimacy capacity, legitimacy health, legitimacy dependency, legitimacy state transition governance, legitimacy restoration governance, and legitimacy state transition science. The publication establishes legitimacy as a governable condition that must remain healthy, capacity-sufficient, dependency-current, transition-governed, restoration-proven where applicable, affected-surface aligned, reviewable, and pressure-aware before consequence formation may proceed. Core doctrine: No admissible legitimacy. No admissible consequence. No admissible execution. Bridge doctrine: No admissible authority. No admissible legitimacy. No admissible consequence. v1.1 doctrine: No legitimacy health. No consequence permission. v1.2 doctrine: No governed legitimacy transition. No restored legitimacy. No consequence permission. v1.3 doctrine: No transition science. No durable legitimacy governance. Boundary: Public architectural reference and governance research work. Not certification, legal opinion, compliance determination, security audit, regulatory approval, production validation, or endorsement.
