Architecture · the planes

Authority decided once, verified everywhere.

One control plane decides. Many enforcement points verify the token they were given. Decisions happen once; verification happens at every gate.

02 · The four planes

L4 · Intent plane

Interpret

LIM + Open Intent. Compiles natural-language and tool-call intents into typed IntentRequest objects with confidence scoring.

L3 · Decision plane

Decide

Authority Engine. Policy + conformance + risk combine into a single verdict. RS256 Authority Token minted on ALLOW.

L2 · Enforcement plane

Verify

Connectors. Token is verified in the target system itself — not by Intended. Fail-closed at the gate.

L1 · Evidence plane

Preserve

Audit chain. Every decision is hash-linked and sealed. Cryptographically signed, replayable, and exportable; per-tenant public-key (JWKS) verification is shipping soon.
