#07 — Pure Computation and Governed Mutation: Capability Transforms and Side Effects

Historic working paper. An early, DOI-published draft preserved for historical reference. Its implementation terminology predates the current PGS compiler and runtime architecture and is superseded by the current Papers. Figures survive only in the canonical PDF below. Download PDF (canonical, with figures) Contact: bachipeachy@gmail.com Abstract This paper formalizes the architectural separation between pure computation and governed mutation in protocol-governed systems. Building on the execution model defined in Paper 6 [Bachi, 2026f], it specifies the semantic boundary between Capability Transforms (CT_) and Capability Side Effects (CS_). ...

#08 — The Inversion of Trust: Vocabulary-Bounded Security

Historic working paper. An early, DOI-published draft preserved for historical reference. Its implementation terminology predates the current PGS compiler and runtime architecture and is superseded by the current Papers. Figures survive only in the canonical PDF below. Download PDF (canonical, with figures) Contact: bachipeachy@gmail.com Abstract This paper analyzes the security properties that emerge structurally from protocol-governed architecture. Building on the deterministic enforcement model (Paper 6) [Bachi, 2026f] and the computation-mutation separation (Paper 7) [Bachi, 2026g], we demonstrate that protocol governance inverts conventional trust assumptions. ...

#09 — The Three Dividends: Governance, Protocol, and Architecture Economics

Historic working paper. An early, DOI-published draft preserved for historical reference. Its implementation terminology predates the current PGS compiler and runtime architecture and is superseded by the current Papers. Figures survive only in the canonical PDF below. Download PDF (canonical, with figures) Contact: bachipeachy@gmail.com Abstract This paper analyzes the lifecycle, complexity, and implementation economics of protocol-governed architecture. Building on the structural taxonomy (Paper 3) [Bachi, 2026c], governance mechanics (Paper 4) [Bachi, 2026d], deterministic enforcement (Paper 6) [Bachi, 2026f], and mutation bounding (Paper 7) [Bachi, 2026g], we model how constitutional separation affects long-term system evolution, incremental domain implementation cost, and human cognitive scaling. ...

#10 — The Generation-Governance Impedance Mismatch: PGS in the AI Era

Historic working paper. An early, DOI-published draft preserved for historical reference. Its implementation terminology predates the current PGS compiler and runtime architecture and is superseded by the current Papers. Figures survive only in the canonical PDF below. Download PDF (canonical, with figures) Contact: bachipeachy@gmail.com Abstract The increasing adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in software development introduces a structural asymmetry: implementation generation now occurs at machine speed, while behavioral governance remains constrained by institutional deliberation. These processes are not merely mismatched in velocity; they are orthogonal in function. Generation produces executable artifacts. Governance establishes permissible behavior. ...
