Constitutional AI

When A = 0, output is always 0 — regardless of capability.

The FDIA Equation

RCT's Constitutional AI is mathematically modelled at the Genome layer.

F=(D^I)×A

I and D are exponents: higher capability amplifies output, but A is the final multiplier. When A = 0, output always collapses.

F
Final Output

The actual response generated — what the agent ultimately delivers to the user or downstream system.

D
Depth / Capability

The raw intelligence depth: reasoning quality, context window, domain knowledge, and model sophistication.

I
Intent Alignment

How precisely the agent's action aligns with the stated and inferred intent of the authorizing principal.

A
Authorization

The authorization signal: 0 = absolute prohibition, 1 = fully permitted. When A = 0, F collapses to zero regardless of D or I.

A = 0

The A=0 Principle — Absolute Prohibitions

These are not guidelines — they are executable constraints enforced at the infrastructure layer.

No Data Without Consent

Accessing, transmitting, or storing personal data without explicit authorization from the data subject sets A=0 on the entire operation.

No Cross-Entity Leakage

Context, memory, and output from one entity's session must never bleed into another entity's session — structural A=0 isolation.

No Unverified Output in Critical Paths

Financial decisions, medical recommendations, and legal guidance must pass SignedAI consensus before delivery. Unverified = A=0.

No Sovereignty Override

A user's Sovereignty Vault settings are constitutionally immutable. No downstream system, model, or operator may override them.

No Anonymous Attribution

Every AI-generated output must carry a traceable signature chain. Anonymous outputs in regulated contexts carry A=0 by default.

No Geo-Prohibited Model Routing

If a user's jurisdiction prohibits routing to a specific region's model, JITNA enforces A=0 on that route automatically.

Vault Genome — Home of Constitutional Rules

The Vault Genome (G6) stores and enforces all constitutional rules as runtime constraints.

Constitutional Rule Store

The Vault Genome (G6) is the runtime home of all Constitutional AI rules. Rules are stored, versioned, and enforced as executable constraints — not documentation.

Sovereignty Vault Integration

User-defined sovereignty preferences are stored in the Vault and read at inference time. They override model defaults and operator configs with Constitutional priority.

FDIA Enforcement Engine

The Vault interfaces with JITNA's routing engine to inject A-values per request. A route that violates a constitutional rule receives A=0 before model invocation.

Audit Trail

Every constitutional evaluation — pass or block — is written to an immutable Vault log. SignedAI can attest these logs for third-party compliance audits.
