Modern autonomous systems embed telemetry, tracing, and attestation directly within the infrastructures they observe, collapsing the traditional separation between computation and monitoring. In these environments, every measurement introduces structural perturbation. SOURCE 0 formalizes this condition as a structural property rather than a failure mode. By replacing binary correctness with a probabilistic assurance framework and introducing a tamper-evident Historical Reality Dossier (HRD), this architecture makes observer-execution coupling explicit, measurable, and mathematically bounded under adversarial conditions.

Facing the downstream governance failure of agentic AI (Google, Nvidia), the SOURCE 0 Doctrine validates the market for opposability. Discover how T-0 cryptographic sealing and ministerial escrow address strict director liability under NIS 2 and DORA frameworks.
