Interpretive Governance

Interpretive Governance is a machine-first governance standard intended to reduce interpretive drift in probabilistic and agentic systems by enforcing explicit separation between observed facts, derived values, inferred hypotheses, and unknown fields.

This standard is not the academic field of interpretive governance in political or social sciences.
