IGA™ Architecture Map
Intelligence Governance Architecture
Official Intelligence Governance Master Reference Map forIntelligent Systems
IGA™ (Intelligence Governance Architecture) serves as the official
OOF® master governance reference map used to identify, classify,
navigate, diagnose, validate, audit, and understand the primary
governance spaces of intelligent systems, autonomous agents,
robotics, Human-AI environments, and future machine intelligence
ecosystems.
IGA™ does not define a specific technology, model, vendor, platform,
implementation, or intelligence architecture.
IGA™ defines the primary governance spaces of intelligence itself.
The purpose of IGA™ is not to govern intelligence directly.
The purpose of IGA™ is to identify where governance belongs before
governance begins.
IGA™ serves as the master governance reference map for:
- Artificial Intelligence Systems
- Autonomous Agents
- Multi-Agent Systems
- Robotics
- Human-AI Environments
- Cognitive Automation Systems
- Intelligent Infrastructure
- Autonomous Organizations
- Future Machine Intelligence Systems
- Future Intelligence Ecosystems
Core Architectural Principle
Every governance space answers one primary question.No governance space duplicates the purpose of another governance
space.
Every governance space begins where the previous governance space
ends.
Together these governance spaces form the official intelligence
governance reference map of IGA™.
GOA™ — Governance Architecture
Core QuestionHow does governance function?
Canonical Definition
GOA™ defines the primary governance spaces governing authority,
boundaries, scope, delegation, accountability, validation,
integrity, transparency, continuity, and interoperability across
intelligent systems.
Core Scope
- governance authority
- governance boundaries
- governance scope
- governance delegation
- governance accountability
- governance validation
- governance integrity
- governance transparency
- governance continuity
- governance interoperability
OBIDENITY™ — Origin-Bound Identity

persistent, attributable, traceable, and origin- bound identity
across intelligent systems.
Core Scope
- identity
- attribution
- persistence
- traceability
- origin ownership
- identity continuity
NG™ — Neural Governance
Core QuestionHow does the system compute?
Canonical Definition
Neural Governance defines the conditions governing internal neural
structures, neural pathways, activations, parameter interactions,
and computational mechanisms within intelligent systems.
Core Scope

- model execution
- neural pathways
- parameter behavior
- computational structures
- computational integrity
CLIA® — Cognitive Governance Intelligence
MGIA™ — Memory Governance Intelligence
Architecture
Core QuestionWhat does the system remember?
Canonical Definition

- memory storage
- memory retrieval
- memory continuity
- memory governance
- memory evolution
AIG™ — AI Governance Architecture
Core QuestionWhat is the system allowed to do?
Canonical Definition
AIG™ governs observable behavior, operational permissions,
constraints, actions, supervision, and behavioral accountability.
Core Scope
- behavior
- permissions
- constraints
- supervision
- behavioral validation
- behavioral accountability
VFM™ — Value Flow Mechanism
Core QuestionWhere does value move?
Canonical Definition
VFM™ governs how value is created, transferred, transformed,
accumulated, preserved, exchanged, or lost within intelligent
systems.
Core Scope
- value creation
- value transfer
- value transformation
- value preservation
- value loss
- value measurement
OR™ — Operational Reality
Core QuestionWhat actually happened?
Canonical Definition
Operational Reality defines the actual observable conditions,
events, consequences, outputs, and outcomes occurring within
operational environments.
Core Scope
- operational outcomes
- operational events
- consequences
- reality measurement
- observable outputs
- operational truth
ART™ — Audit in Real Time
Core QuestionCan it be verified?
Canonical Definition
ART™ defines the conditions under which operational reality can be
reconstructed, validated, traced, verified, and continuously
audited.
Core Scope
- validation
- reconstruction
- auditability
- verification
- traceability
- audit governance
ArtData™
Core QuestionWhat evidence remains?
Canonical Definition
ArtData™ defines the highest-integrity evidence outputs generated
through validated Audit in Real Time processes.
Core Scope
- evidence preservation
- evidence integrity
- audit outputs
- verified records
- traceable evidence
- immutable evidence
Architectural Position
IGA™ governs the complete intelligence governance landscape.The architecture progresses:
Governance → Identity → Computation → Cognition → Memory → Behavior
→ Value → Operational Reality → Audit → Evidence
Together these governance spaces define where governance begins,
where identity is established, where computation occurs, where
cognition operates, where memory persists, where behavior is
governed, where value moves, where operational reality is measured,
where validation occurs, and where evidence is ultimately preserved.
What IGA™ Defines
IGA™ defines:- where governance begins,
- where identity is established,
- where computation occurs,
- where cognition occurs,
- where memory persists,
- where behavior is governed,
- where value moves,
- where operational reality is measured,
- where validation occurs,
- where evidence is preserved.
IGA™ provides the master governance language used to navigate
intelligent systems.
Master Reference Map Principle
IGA™ is a Master Reference Map.IGA™ does not replace GOA™, CLIA®, MGIA™, AIG™, VFM™, OR™, ART™,
ArtData™, or future governance architectures.
IGA™ provides the diagnostic map used to determine where a problem
belongs before deeper governance analysis begins.
The map may evolve as new governance spaces are discovered and
validated.
