Governance Ordering Guarantee

This repository enforces a strict, irreversible governance hierarchy for Tier-3 intelligence.

The ordering is:

1. Constitutional Charter (supreme authority)
2. Phase 3 Invariants (governance constraints)
3. Invocation Semantics (procedural enforcement)

This hierarchy is not advisory.

It is enforced by git commit order and tags, not by convention.

Canonical Ordering Proof

To verify the governance ordering, run:

git log --oneline --decorate --reverse

<hash> Initial commit
<hash> Freeze Tier-3 Constitutional Charter v1.1 (canonical text)
<hash> Freeze Phase 3 Invariants v1.1 (governance constraints, subordinate to Charter)
<hash> Freeze Tier-3 Invocation Semantics v1.1 (canonical enforcement layer)

Enforcement Implications
	•	Invocation semantics cannot precede invariants
	•	Invariants cannot precede the Charter
	•	No downstream mechanism may reinterpret upstream authority
	•	Any change that violates this ordering is constitutionally invalid

If a future feature causes this ordering to be questioned, the feature is invalid.

Governance precedes intelligence.

Do **not** soften the language. This is intentionally absolute.
