Canonical Definition

Proactive Interaction Governance Module defines the structural
conditions under which a continuously present intelligent system may
initiate, enter, interrupt, escalate, or influence interaction
proactively without exceeding valid authority, consent boundaries,
runtime conditions, behavioral limits, or interaction-governance scope.

A system satisfies PIGM only if:

proactive intervention conditions are explicitly defined
the system does not enter interaction autonomously without governed entry logic
proactive participation remains bounded by visible authority conditions
intervention timing, scope, and intensity remain reviewable
proactive behavior does not silently expand from assistance into undeclared control or influence

A system that acts proactively without explicit governance of when,
why, how, and under which conditions it may intervene does not
satisfy PIGM.

Module Function

PIGM defines the proactive intervention layer of continuous
interaction governance.

It ensures that continuous interaction systems do not remain passive
until prompted, yet also do not become behaviorally invasive,
unstable, or overreaching when they begin to act on their
own initiative.

The module applies wherever a system may:

interrupt
warn
suggest
redirect
escalate
initiate interaction
enter ongoing activity
take proactive runtime action based on live context

Its function is not to prohibit proactive capability.

Its function is to govern proactive capability so that initiative
remains bounded, interpretable, and structurally valid.

Step 1 — Define the Proactive Interaction Object

The organization must define what proactive interaction behavior is
being governed.

Minimum requirement:

the proactive interaction object is explicit
the scope of proactive participation is structurally bounded
undefined proactive action types are excluded from valid governance logic

The proactive object may include:

verbal interruption
safety warning
contextual suggestion
interaction entry
escalation response
proactive guidance
multimodal alerting
autonomous attention capture

Step 2 — Define Proactive Entry Conditions

The system must define when proactive interaction may begin.

Minimum requirement:

entry conditions are explicit
proactive participation does not begin under vague or hidden logic
the threshold between passive presence and active intervention remains identifiable

Entry conditions may include:

user request persistence
safety relevance
emergency threshold
task continuity need
environment change
runtime anomaly
collaborative coordination requirement
governed escalation trigger

Without explicit entry logic, proactive behavior becomes
structurally unstable.

Step 3 — Define Proactive Scope Boundaries

The system must define what a proactive system may and may not do
once it begins to act.

Minimum requirement:

proactive scope is explicit
intervention does not silently expand beyond its valid purpose
undefined authority growth is excluded from valid proactive governance logic

Proactive scope may include limits of:

timing
modality
intensity
topic
interruption length
attention capture
escalation level
environment-specific action rights

Step 4 — Define Intervention Timing Logic

The system must define when proactive behavior is timely, premature,
excessive, delayed, or invalid.

Minimum requirement:

timing logic is explicit
proactive action does not rely on uncontrolled intuition alone
the system can distinguish helpful timing from intrusive timing

This means the system must not only know whether it may intervene,
but whether it may intervene at that moment under valid
interaction conditions.

Step 5 — Define Behavioral Intensity Conditions

The system must define how strong proactive intervention may become.

Minimum requirement:

intervention intensity is explicit
proactive action does not silently escalate from suggestion to control
behavioral influence remains bounded by interaction-governance conditions

This includes regulation of:

urgency
repetition
persistence
interruption force
escalation tone
directive strength
behavioral pacing impact

Step 6 — Preserve Proactive Interaction Traceability

The system must preserve traceability of proactive intervention
events and escalation transitions.

Minimum requirement:

proactive interaction events are reviewable
intervention conditions remain reconstructable
later audit can determine why the system entered, how it acted, and whether its behavior remained within
governed scope

If proactive intervention cannot be reconstructed, proactive
authority becomes another opaque behavioral layer.

Step 7 — Restrict Invalid Proactive Behavior

The system must not be treated as valid if proactive participation
is hidden, excessive, structurally unbounded, behaviorally
manipulative, or unsupported by explicit entry and boundary logic.

Minimum requirement:

invalid proactive conditions are identifiable
undeclared behavioral entry is excluded
proactive intervention without governed timing, scope, and intensity is blocked, bounded, or invalidated where
required
