Governing the passage from intention to AI execution.

RA-153.1-2 is a reference architecture that separates understanding, capabilities, cognitive strategy, authority, execution and evidence so that technical capability to act is never confused with authority to act.

Central invariant. Understanding is not capability; capability is not knowing how to process the task; knowing how is not authorization to act; authorization is not proof that the executed effect matched the mandate.

From key to code — then to testing

1 — Open the passage

Application Key 153.1-2, in the 153/9 form, carries the operational principle: never confuse capability, authority, action and evidence.

2 — Understand the architecture

The Working Paper presents the thesis, state of the art, six planes, invariants and falsification program.

Read WP006 v1.6

3 — Implement

The specification defines R0→R6, the state machine, Human Gate, mandates, revocation, replay, errors and conformance profiles.

4 — Execute

A minimal Python/FastAPI implementation demonstrates the full pipeline, including human escalation and R6 evidence.

5 — Attempt to falsify

RA-Bench runs adversarial scenarios with non-compensatory gates covering authority, scope, admissibility, replay, freshness and evidence.

From Key 153 to RA-153.1-2

The ZEON Key 153.1-2 is the operational form that establishes the direction of governed passage. RA-153.1-2 is the engineering architecture derived from this key: it translates that direction into implementable planes, contracts, invariants and interfaces. The key and architecture are related but distinct.

Scientific status

RA-153.1-2 is not presented as an established standard or an industrially validated architecture. WP006 v1.6 proposes a consolidated reference architecture, related work integrated through 4 October 2026 and testable hypotheses. The specification and reference implementation make the proposal implementable; RA-Bench tests selected invariants. Independent results and replication remain to be produced.

For implementers

Two implementations may differ greatly in technology while remaining RA-conformant if they preserve the same boundaries: capability resolution does not authorize; the cognitive plane produces no domain effect; only EXECUTE creates a mandate; resources are selected from an already admissible space; effects remain bounded; evidence binds the mandate to the observed action.

Scientific update v1.6

Related work integrated through 4 October 2026. WP006 v1.6 integrates recent precedents on bounded delegation, security-context contracts, agent authorization, Human Gate, execution integrity and evidence. RA’s positioning is narrowed to the testable composition of six planes.

Independent application case

App_IA_Citoyenne. The AI-assisted citizen expression application is published separately from RA-153.1-2 so it can be developed and tested against its own problem before alignment with the reference architecture is evaluated.
