Runtime‑provable intent is the missing primitive in hyperscale cloud governance. SOURCE 0 defines how evidentiary truth can exist at runtime — proving, at the exact microsecond of execution, that a system action matched a sealed human decision. The first hyperscaler to integrate this doctrine acquires an evidentiary position the second cannot retroactively recover.

On June 16 2026, the European Parliament banned non‑consensual AI‑generated intimate imagery. The vote is normatively sound but structurally unenforceable. Watermarking proves origin — not filter state. Cloud logs have integrity — not forensic independence. The burden‑shifting framework presupposes evidence no mandated mechanism creates. SOURCE 0 seals the complete AI generation event at T‑0, inside a hardware‑rooted TEE, under dual QTSP timestamps, in judicial escrow independent of operator and cloud provider. The EU created the right. SOURCE 0 makes it real.

Automated systems across finance, customs, and logistics now face the same fatal flaw: they execute without independently verifiable proof of human authorization. SOURCE 0 introduces a Governance Proof Layer that seals intent before execution—hardware‑attested, dual‑timestamped, and judicially escrowed—to make every automated decision opposable, auditable, and defensible under DORA, NIS 2, ICS2, and the EU AI Act.
