Canonical Definition

Authority Delegation Origin Integrity Module (ADOIM) defines the
structural conditions under which delegated authority remains
attributable to an identifiable, legitimate, traceable, governable,
and operationally valid authority source throughout the
delegation lifecycle.

ADOIM governs delegation origin.

The module establishes the integrity conditions required to
determine where delegated authority originated before authority may
be transferred, assigned, inherited, distributed, accepted,
exercised, or escalated.

Module Operational Role

ADOIM defines the delegation-origin governance layer of ADS.

Its role is to preserve visibility of the original authority source
from which delegated authority emerged.

Module Operational Space

ADOIM governs:

• delegation origin
• authority-source traceability
• delegation attribution
• authority-source validation
• delegation provenance
• origin accountability
• delegation legitimacy source
• authority-transfer origin

The module applies wherever governance requires reconstruction
of delegation origins.

Module Function

The module applies wherever systems must preserve:

• identifiable delegation sources
• traceable authority origins
• reconstructable delegation history
• accountable authority transfer
• governance-valid delegation attribution
• operationally valid authority provenance

Its function is to ensure that governance can determine where
delegated authority originally came from.

Minimum Implementation Framework

1. Define the Delegation Origin Object

The organization must define which delegated-authority environments
require origin governance.

This may include:

• organizational hierarchies
• supervisory environments
• delegated management structures
• contractor chains
• regulatory structures
• AI orchestration systems
• autonomous governance environments
• Human-AI operational systems

2. Define Delegation Origin Conditions

The system must define the conditions under which delegation
origin remains valid.

This includes:

• source-identification requirements
• attribution requirements
• traceability requirements
• accountability requirements
• validation requirements
• governance-valid origin conditions

3. Define Origin Degradation Detection Logic

The system must define how delegation-origin failures
are identified.

This may include:

• unidentified delegation sources
• illegitimate authority origins
• undocumented delegation events
• governance-blind authority transfers
• hidden authority sources
• unverifiable delegation chains

4. Define Operational Response or Governance Logic

The system must define governance logic for
delegation-origin failures.

Governance response may include:

• source verification
• delegation review
• governance intervention
• escalation
• delegation reconstruction
• corrective actions
• operational invalidation where required

5. Preserve Traceability & Restrict Invalid Conditions

The system must preserve reconstructable traceability of:

• delegation origins
• authority sources
• validation activities
• governance reviews
• intervention procedures
• resulting delegation structures

A delegation-governance environment must not remain origin-valid if
materially significant delegation origins cannot be identified,
reconstructed, reviewed, validated, or governed.

Use Case 1 — Multi-Layer Organizational

Delegation

Scenario

An executive delegates authority to a director, who delegates
authority to a manager, who delegates authority to a supervisor.

Application

ADOIM reconstructs the original authority source across
the delegation chain.

Result

Governance gains visibility into the true origin of
delegated authority.

Use Case 2 — AI Orchestration Environment

Scenario

A human operator delegates authority to an orchestration platform,
which distributes authority across multiple AI agents.

Application

ADOIM reconstructs the original source of authority throughout
the delegation structure.

Result

Governance gains visibility into the origin of authority across
intelligent operational systems.

Canonical Closing Statement

Authority Delegation Origin Integrity Module (ADOIM) defines the
structural conditions under which delegated authority remains
attributable to an identifiable, legitimate, traceable, governable,
and operationally valid authority source throughout the
delegation lifecycle.

Delegated authority cannot remain trustworthy if its origin cannot
be reconstructed. Authority delegation origin integrity therefore
becomes a foundational condition of trustworthy
delegation governance.
