Paper VI in the AION Foundations series. This paper defines governance constraints for deterministic replay and provenance-complete systems when replay can reconstruct mind-like interior computation. It formalizes provenance sovereignty, introduces a conservative system-mode vs mind-mode boundary, and specifies runtime controls including authority gating, bounded override, dispute pathways, and closure-ready evidence requirements. The manuscript includes enforceable REQ clauses, conformance tiers, and test-vector-driven verification guidance intended to make ethics claims operational and auditable.
