Maturity-Gated Actuation Authority - Trust Earned by Evidence
Authors: Ford, P. I.
Summary
A control-governance principle that makes trust quantitative: the actuation authority a controller or AI is permitted at runtime is a monotone function of the verification-and-validation maturity (PCMM level) of the underlying models. Machine-validated subsystems admit wide, fast authority; reduced-order ones are clamped to reversible actions — an auditable rule where authority expands only as evidence does.

Physics and engineering only; no economics. Every quantity traces to a documented gate in the KRONOS de-risking register. Honest gates are stated in the paper.
