Canonical Definition

Validation State Governance Standard (VSGS) defines the governance
conditions under which Validation Objects are assigned, maintained,
transitioned, restricted, suspended, invalidated, expired,
superseded, and reclassified across formal Validation States based
upon applicable Validation Determinations, object identity, object
version, scope, conditions, lifecycle events, material change,
temporal validity, unresolved limitations, and
revalidation requirements.

Canonical Definition Extension

A Validation Determination describes what a governed validation
event demonstrated.

A Validation State describes the current formal validation condition
of the Validation Object.

These are not the same.

A system may receive a Positive Validation Determination today.

Tomorrow:

• the object may change,
• its configuration may change,
• relevant evidence may become outdated,
• a source may become unreliable,
• an operational environment may materially change,
• a validation condition may no longer hold,
• the determination may expire,
• or new contradictory information may emerge.

The original determination remains historically valid as a record of
what the validation event demonstrated.

But the Validation State of the object may no longer
remain unchanged.

Validation State Governance Standard therefore governs
the transition:

Validation Determination → Validation State → Validation State
Change → Validation State Continuity

The standard establishes the conditions necessary to determine:

• which Validation Determination governs the current object state,
• whether the determination remains applicable,
• whether the Validation Object remains materially equivalent to the validated object,
• whether determination conditions remain satisfied,
• whether temporal validity remains active,
• whether material change has occurred,
• whether new evidence or information affects the state,
• whether revalidation is required,
• whether the current state must be restricted,
• whether the state must be suspended,
• whether prior validation has expired,
• whether validation has been invalidated,
• whether a newer determination supersedes an earlier state,
• and what formal Validation State the Validation Object currently holds.

VSGS does not determine whether reliance upon that state
is permitted.

It governs the current validation condition of the object itself.

Core Question

What formal Validation State does the Validation Object currently
hold, and under which conditions may that state remain, change,
expire, suspend, or require revalidation?

Purpose

The purpose of Validation State Governance Standard is to prevent
historical validation conclusions from being treated as
permanently current.

The standard addresses a fundamental lifecycle problem:

Validated once does not mean validated forever.

Validation Objects evolve.

Systems change.

Models are updated.

Data changes.

Dependencies change.

Operating environments change.

Threat conditions change.

Regulatory requirements change.

Evidence ages.

New information appears.

Validation State Governance ensures that validation remains
connected to the current reality of the Validation Object rather
than only to a historical validation event.

Governance Objective

VSGS establishes a governed Validation State layer capable of
maintaining a current and traceable validation condition across the
complete lifecycle of a Validation Object.

The standard seeks to ensure that:

• every formal Validation State is connected to a legitimate Validation Determination,
• Validation State remains object-specific,
• Validation State remains version-specific where required,
• scope and conditions remain attached,
• state validity periods remain visible,
• state changes are governed,
• material object changes are detected,
• revalidation triggers are identifiable,
• outdated determinations do not remain silently active,
• suspended states remain distinguishable from invalidated states,
• expired validation remains distinguishable from negative validation,
• superseded determinations remain historically visible,
• and the current Validation State can be reconstructed throughout the object lifecycle.

Operational Role

Validation State Governance Standard serves as the lifecycle-state
layer of VALIDOS™.

The preceding standards establish:

Validation Object → Validation Purpose & Scope → Validation Criteria
→ Validation Method → Validation Evidence Fitness → Validation
Source Reliability → Validation Execution → Validation Determination

VSGS then asks:

What Validation State should the object now hold, and how does that
state evolve over time?

Its structural progression is:

Validation Determination → State Eligibility Assessment → Validation
State Assignment → State Activation → State Monitoring → State
Change Detection → State Transition → State Continuity

The resulting state becomes the governed basis upon which Validation
Reliance & Revalidation governance can operate.

Governance Scope

Validation State Governance Standard governs:

• Validation State definition,
• state assignment,
• state activation,
• state applicability,
• state scope,
• state conditions,
• state limitations,
• state restrictions,
• state effective point,
• state validity period,
• state expiration,
• state suspension,
• state resumption,
• state invalidation,
• state supersession,
• state withdrawal,
• state transition,
• state continuity,
• state history,
• state change detection,
• object-change detection,
• material-change assessment,
• state reassessment,
• revalidation-required status,
• state uncertainty,
• state authority where applicable,
• and Validation State traceability.

Validation State

A Validation State is the formal lifecycle condition assigned to a
Validation Object based upon the currently applicable governed
validation record.

A Validation State is not merely a label.

It should remain connected to:

• Validation Object,
• object version,
• applicable determination,
• Validation Purpose,
• Validation Scope,
• Validation Depth,
• conditions,
• restrictions,
• limitations,
• effective point,
• validity period,
• change triggers,
• and revalidation requirements.

Validation Determination and Validation State

VALIDOS™ establishes a strict architectural distinction:

Validation Determination asks:

What did the governed validation event demonstrate?

Validation State asks:

What validation condition does the Validation Object currently hold?

A determination is an event-level conclusion.

A state is a lifecycle-level condition.

This distinction allows historical validation evidence to remain
intact while current validation status changes.

Canonical Validation States

VSGS may establish formal Validation States including:

Validation Required

The Validation Object requires formal validation before an
applicable governed validation state can be established.

Validation Pending

Validation has been initiated or scheduled but has not yet produced
a formal Validation Determination sufficient for state assignment.

Partially Validated

Only part of the Validation Object, Validation Scope, criterion
structure, operating environment, population, or other governed
domain possesses a positive or conditional validation basis.

Conditionally Validated

The Validation Object possesses a positive validation basis only
while explicit conditions, limitations, restrictions, or operating
boundaries remain satisfied.

Validated

The Validation Object possesses a currently applicable Positive
Validation Determination sufficient to support an active Validation
State within the defined scope, version, depth, and
validity conditions.

Validation Conflicted

Material unresolved validation conflict prevents one coherent
unrestricted state from being represented.

Validation Suspended

A previously active Validation State has been temporarily placed
into non-active status because material uncertainty, change,
investigation, or unresolved condition requires reassessment.

Invalidated

A previously supported Validation State has lost its governing
validation basis because the validation conclusion or its
applicability has been materially destroyed.

Validation Expired

The temporal validity or defined lifecycle period of the active
validation state has ended.

Revalidation Required

Material change, expiration, new evidence, changed risk, changed
environment, or another governed trigger requires new validation
before the object can regain or maintain an applicable
validation state.

Additional state subcategories may be defined where justified by
domain-specific requirements.

State Assignment

A Validation State should not be assigned directly from intuition,
reputation, or historical claims.

State Assignment should derive from:

• applicable Overall Validation Determination,
• current Validation Object identity,
• current object version,
• current scope,
• current conditions,
• current environment,
• current validity period,
• and any material changes occurring after determination.

Positive Determination and Validated State

A Positive Validation Determination may support assignment of:

Validated

but only where:

• the determination remains applicable,
• the object remains materially equivalent,
• scope remains valid,
• determination conditions remain satisfied,
• no suspension or invalidation condition exists,
• and the validation has not expired.

Therefore:

Positive Validation Determination ≠ Automatically Permanent
Validated State

Conditional Determination and State

A Conditional Validation Determination may normally support:

Conditionally Validated

rather than unrestricted:

Validated

The conditions defining that state must remain attached.

If the conditions cease to hold, the state may transition.

Partial Determination and State

A Partial Validation Determination may support:

Partially Validated

where only defined portions of the object or scope possess
sufficient validation basis.

The validated and non-validated portions must
remain distinguishable.

Negative Determination and State

A Negative Validation Determination does not necessarily imply that
the object must be permanently categorized as Invalidated.

The actual state may depend upon whether:

• the object was previously Validated,
• this is the first validation,
• scope differs,
• only one domain failed,
• the determination is partial,
• or remediation is underway.

VSGS therefore governs lifecycle meaning separately from the
determination itself.

Indeterminate Determination and State

An Indeterminate Validation Determination may produce:

• Validation Pending,
• Validation Conflicted,
• Validation Suspended,
• Revalidation Required,
• or another appropriate state

depending upon context.

It should not automatically become:

Validated

or:

Invalidated.

Validation State Scope

Every state must remain bounded to the scope supported by its
governing determination.

A system may simultaneously be:

Validated for Function A

and:

Validation Required for Function B

where these scopes can be legitimately separated.

VSGS therefore permits multidimensional Validation State
where necessary.

Validation State Depth

State should remain connected to the Validation Depth supporting it.

For example:

Validated — Preliminary Depth

and:

Validated — High-Assurance Depth

may represent materially different assurance conditions.

The state should not imply stronger validation than its
determination supports.

State Conditions

A Validation State may depend upon conditions.

Examples include:

• specific system configuration,
• continued human oversight,
• defined operating environment,
• specific population,
• continued source availability,
• active safety control,
• restricted autonomy,
• specific jurisdiction,
• or ongoing monitoring.

Conditions form part of the state.

State Restrictions

Restrictions define what the Validation State must not be
interpreted to cover.

Examples include:

• not valid for autonomous deployment,
• not valid outside defined temperature range,
• not validated for pediatric use,
• not validated for Version 5,
• not validated outside defined jurisdiction,
• or not valid after material modification.

State Limitation

A Validation State may remain active while carrying
known limitations.

Limitations may concern:

• evidence depth,
• rare-event coverage,
• population representation,
• long-term operating data,
• external validation,
• or unresolved low-level uncertainty.

Limitations remain visible throughout the state lifecycle.

State Effective Point

A Validation State should have an identifiable point at which it
becomes active.

This may be:

• determination issuance,
• determination approval,
• state assignment,
• deployment approval,
• or another governed event.

VSGS distinguishes state effective point from determination date
where necessary.

State Validity Period

Some Validation States may be time-bounded.

Validity may be expressed through:

• fixed expiration date,
• maximum validity period,
• event-based validity,
• version-based validity,
• condition-based validity,
• or continuous validity subject to monitoring.

Not every object requires fixed-time expiration.

The validity model should match the nature of the Validation Object.

State Expiration

A Validation State becomes Validation Expired when its defined
validity period or applicability condition ends without sufficient
renewal or revalidation.

Expiration does not mean the object failed validation.

VALIDOS™ establishes:

Validation Expired ≠ Validation Failed

Expiration means the previous validation basis is no longer
sufficient to represent the object as currently validated.

Material Change

A Material Change is a change capable of affecting whether the
existing Validation State remains applicable.

Material changes may include:

• model update,
• software update,
• architecture change,
• dataset change,
• configuration change,
• hardware replacement,
• operating environment change,
• population expansion,
• new use case,
• jurisdiction change,
• source change,
• evidence change,
• method change,
• risk change,
• or newly discovered failure condition.

Material Change Assessment

Not every change requires revalidation.

VSGS therefore distinguishes:

Immaterial Change Minor Validation-Relevant Change

Material Change

Critical Validation-Relevant Change

The appropriate response depends upon whether the existing
validation basis still represents the changed object.

Object Equivalence

After change, VSGS may assess whether the changed object remains
sufficiently equivalent to the validated object.

Possible outcomes include:

Validation Equivalence Maintained

Validation Equivalence Conditionally Maintained

Validation Equivalence Undetermined

Validation Equivalence Lost

Loss of equivalence may trigger revalidation.

State Change Trigger

A State Change Trigger is an event requiring reassessment of the
current Validation State.

Triggers may include:

• object modification,
• new evidence,
• critical incident,
• source reliability change,
• determination reassessment,
• operating environment change,
• new regulation,
• changed Validation Purpose,
• scope expansion,
• time expiration,
• repeated anomaly,
• drift,
• or another material development.

State Reassessment

State reassessment determines whether the current Validation
State should:

• remain unchanged,
• become conditional,
• become partial,
• be suspended,
• expire,
• be invalidated,
• require revalidation,
• or transition to another formal state.

State Transition

A Validation State may transition through governed paths.

Examples include:

Validation Required → Validation Pending → Validated

Validated → Conditionally Validated

Validated → Validation Suspended

Validated → Validation Expired

Validated → Revalidation Required

Conditionally Validated → Validated

Conditionally Validated → Validation Suspended

Validation Suspended → Validated

Validation Suspended → Revalidation Required

Revalidation Required → Validation Pending

Validation Pending → Validated

Validated → Invalidated

Transitions must remain traceable.

State Transition Is Not Free-Form

VALIDOS™ may define permitted state transitions.

For example:

A Validation Object should not ordinarily transition directly from:

Validation Required

to:

Validated

without an applicable Validation Determination.

Likewise:

Validation Expired

should not become:

Validated

merely because the object has not changed.

The validation basis must be restored.

Validation Suspended

Suspension is temporary.

It may be appropriate where:

• serious new evidence emerges,
• incident investigation is underway,
• source reliability is questioned,
• object change is being assessed,
• determination is suspended,
• a safety concern exists,
• or revalidation is pending.

Suspension prevents continued representation of the state as
unrestricted while preserving the historical validation basis.

Suspension Does Not Equal Invalidation

VALIDOS™ establishes:

Validation Suspended ≠ Invalidated

Suspension means:

Current applicability is temporarily unresolved.

Invalidation means:

The validation basis has been materially destroyed or determined no
longer applicable.

State Resumption

A suspended state may resume where:

• the concern is resolved,
• the object remains equivalent,
• the original determination remains applicable,
• required controls are restored,
• or additional evidence supports resumption.

Resumption must remain traceable.

Invalidated State

Invalidation occurs where the previous validation state can no
longer legitimately remain active.

Possible causes include:

• fundamental object change,
• invalid determination,
• invalid execution,
• compromised decisive evidence,
• critical source failure,
• discovered methodological defect,
• or new evidence conclusively contradicting the prior validation basis.

Invalidation Scope

Invalidation may apply to:

• complete object,
• specific version,
• one subsystem,
• one criterion domain,
• one environment,
• or one scope.

VSGS therefore permits bounded invalidation where
methodologically separable.

Revalidation Required

A Validation Object enters Revalidation Required where the existing
validation basis cannot remain sufficient without new validation.

Possible triggers include:

• material object change,
• validity expiration,
• significant scope expansion,
• changed operational environment,
• new risk profile,
• new critical evidence,
• regulatory requirement,
• accumulated drift,
• or unresolved Validation Suspension.

Revalidation Required Is Not Invalidated

The state:

Revalidation Required

means the previous validation basis no longer provides sufficient
current assurance.

It does not necessarily demonstrate that the object fails.

Validation Conflicted

A Validation Object may enter Validation Conflicted where multiple
legitimate determinations or material findings create incompatible
current validation implications.

For example:

• different environments produce incompatible states,
• concurrent determinations conflict,
• or unresolved critical evidence prevents a single current state.

Conflict must remain explicit until resolved, bounded, or converted
into Partial Validation State.

Partially Validated State

A Validation Object may be Partially Validated where valid
separation exists between:

• subsystems,
• populations,
• operating modes,
• jurisdictions,
• functions,
• environments,
• or criterion domains.

A partial state should identify both:

Validated Portion

and: Unvalidated / Conditional / Negative Portion

where applicable.

State Multiplicity

Complex Validation Objects may legitimately possess multiple
concurrent state dimensions.

For example:

Performance State: Validated

Safety State: Conditionally Validated

Autonomy State: Validation Required

VSGS permits multidimensional state representation where one global
state would obscure material differences.

State Hierarchy

Validation State may be represented hierarchically.

For example:

Component State → Subsystem State → System State

Higher-level state must remain traceable to the lower-level
validation states supporting it.

State Precedence

Where several states apply simultaneously, governance may
define precedence.

For example:

Validation Suspended

may override an otherwise Validated state for current
operational representation.

Similarly:

Validation Expired

may prevent historical positive determination from being represented
as currently active validation.

Historical State and Current State

VALIDOS™ distinguishes:

Historical Validation State

from:

Current Validation State

A system may historically have been:

Validated

while currently being:

Revalidation Required Both facts remain true.

The architecture must preserve both.

State Continuity

Validation State Continuity preserves the full lifecycle:

State Assignment → State Activation → State Change → State
Transition → Current State

Historical states must not be overwritten when new states
are assigned.

State Record

A formal Validation State Record may preserve:

• Validation State Identifier,
• Validation Object,
• object version,
• applicable Validation Determination,
• state classification,
• scope,
• Validation Depth,
• conditions,
• restrictions,
• limitations,
• effective point,
• validity period,
• expiration condition,
• state-change triggers,
• material change assessment,
• current status,
• transition history,
• revalidation requirement,
• and sufficient traceability.

State Authority

Where state assignment or transition requires formal authority, VSGS
may govern:

• state issuer,
• state approval authority,
• delegated authority,
• state transition authority,
• suspension authority,
• invalidation authority,
• and reactivation authority.

VSGS does not create legal authority where none exists.

Automated Validation State Governance

Some state transitions may be automated where rules are
sufficiently explicit.

For example:

Validity Period Ends → Validation Expired

or: Critical Configuration Change Detected → Revalidation Required

Automation should remain traceable and governed.

AI-Assisted Validation State Governance

AI may assist with:

• change detection,
• state-condition monitoring,
• determination comparison,
• drift identification,
• revalidation trigger detection,
• and state-record maintenance.

AI must not silently invent new state-transition logic outside the
governed architecture.

State Monitoring

Validation State may require ongoing monitoring of conditions
capable of affecting validity.

Monitoring may include:

• object version,
• configuration,
• operating environment,
• incidents,
• performance drift,
• model drift,
• evidence changes,
• source changes,
• or expiration conditions.

State monitoring does not itself constitute revalidation.

It detects conditions requiring governance response.

State Drift

A Validation State may gradually lose applicability without one
obvious material event.

Examples include:

• accumulated model drift,
• changing population,
• slowly changing environment,
• dependency evolution,
• repeated small modifications,
• or cumulative evidence degradation.

VSGS may govern Validation State Drift as a trigger
for reassessment.

State Confidence

Where useful, implementations may represent confidence in the
current state.

However:

State Confidence ≠ Validation State A state may be Validated while
carrying moderate confidence within its legitimate scope.

Confidence is supplementary and must not replace formal
state classification.

State Uncertainty

Where current state applicability cannot be established with
sufficient confidence, the object may require:

• Validation Suspended,
• Validation Conflicted,
• Revalidation Required,
• or another governed state.

State uncertainty must not be hidden behind historical validation.

State and Operational Reality

The current Validation State should remain connected to the current
operational reality of the Validation Object.

Where the object materially diverges from the validated state,
historical validation should not continue to create current-
state confidence.

State and Integrity

Material integrity failures may affect Validation State.

Where required, INTEGROS® may establish whether relevant objects,
evidence, records, or systems retain sufficient integrity.

VSGS consumes such information only insofar as it affects
state applicability.

State and Determination Reassessment

If an Overall Validation Determination is:

• modified,
• suspended,
• withdrawn,
• or superseded,

the applicable Validation State should be reassessed.

Determination lifecycle changes and State lifecycle changes remain
separate but connected.

State Supersession

A new valid state may supersede an earlier state.

For example:

Validated Version 3.0

may be superseded by:

Conditionally Validated Version 4.0

The earlier state remains part of validation history.

State Withdrawal

A Validation State may be withdrawn where it was incorrectly
assigned or where the underlying basis never legitimately
supported it.

Withdrawal should preserve historical accountability.

Validation State Is Not Reliance Authorization

This boundary is fundamental.

VSGS answers:

What validation condition does the Validation Object currently hold?

It does not answer:

Who may rely upon that state?

A Validation Object may be:

Validated

while reliance is still prohibited for a specific use, jurisdiction,
organization, or risk context.

Therefore:

Validated State ≠ Reliance Authorization

Validation State Is Not Deployment Approval

Likewise:

Validation State ≠ Deployment Approval

Deployment may require:

• regulatory approval,
• organizational authorization,
• risk acceptance,
• operational readiness,
• safety approval,
• or other independent governance.

VALIDOS™ preserves validation as its own methodological domain.

Governance Boundary

Validation State Governance Standard begins when an applicable
Validation Determination exists or when a Validation Object requires
formal state classification.

It ends when the current Validation State, its scope, conditions,
validity, lifecycle transitions, state-change triggers, and
revalidation implications have been sufficiently established
and maintained.

VSGS does not determine:

• operational reliance authorization,
• relying-party eligibility,
• reliance transfer,
• reliance conditions,
• reliance consequences,
• or the complete revalidation process.

These responsibilities belong to the final VALIDOS™ Parent Standard.

Minimum Governance Requirements

A conforming implementation of VSGS should establish:

• 1. an identifiable Validation Object,
• 2. the applicable Validation Determination,
• 3. the current object version or state,
• 4. an explicit Validation State,
• 5. state scope,
• 6. Validation Depth,
• 7. state conditions,
• 8. state restrictions,
• 9. state limitations,

10. an effective point, 11. state validity or expiration logic, 12.
material-change triggers, 13. state-change and transition rules, 14.
suspension and invalidation conditions, 15. revalidation-required
triggers, 16. historical state continuity, 17. a current Validation
State Record, 18. and sufficient lifecycle traceability.

Governance Outputs

VSGS may produce:

• Validation State,
• Validation State Record,
• Validation State Identifier,
• Validation State Assignment,
• Validation State Scope Record,
• Validation State Depth Record,
• Validation State Condition Register,
• Validation State Restriction Record,
• Validation State Limitation Record,
• Validation State Effective Point,
• Validation State Validity Period,
• Validation State Expiration Condition,
• Validation State Monitoring Record,
• Material Change Record,
• Validation Change Materiality Assessment,
• Validation Equivalence Assessment,
• Validation State Change Trigger,
• Validation State Reassessment,
• Validation State Transition Record,
• Validation Suspension Record,
• Validation Resumption Record,
• Validation Invalidation Record,
• Validation Expiration Record,
• Revalidation Required Record,
• Validation Conflict State Record,
• Partial Validation State Record,
• Multidimensional Validation State Map,
• Validation State Hierarchy,
• Validation State Supersession Record,
• Validation State Withdrawal Record,
• Validation State History,
• and Validation State Continuity Reference.

Operational Applications

Validation State Governance Standard may be applied across:

• artificial intelligence,
• machine learning,
• autonomous systems,
• AI agents,
• software systems,
• digital infrastructure,
• datasets,
• predictions,
• simulations,
• scientific validation,
• medical systems,
• financial models,
• industrial systems,
• cybersecurity systems,
• critical infrastructure,
• digital identities,
• regulatory environments,
• public-sector systems,
• and any governed environment in which validation status must remain current over time.

Relationship to Other OOF Architectures

Validation State Governance Standard interoperates with:

• GOA™
• OBIDENITY®
• INTEGROS®
• ORA™
• AGA™
• AIG®
• CLIA®
• MGIA™
• ASGA™
• RIS™

by providing the canonical validation-governance methodology through
which validation conclusions are transformed into current,
lifecycle-aware Validation States.

GOA™ may establish authority governing state assignment, suspension,
transition, and withdrawal.

OBIDENITY® may preserve object identity, version continuity,
provenance, and ownership relationships required for
state continuity.

INTEGROS® may establish integrity conditions affecting whether an
existing Validation State remains applicable.

ORA™ may identify changes in operational reality affecting current
state validity.

AGA™ may establish accountability for state assignment, monitoring,
transition, suspension, and invalidation.

RIS™ may influence the sensitivity of change triggers and
revalidation requirements according to risk and consequence.

AIG®, CLIA®, MGIA™, and ASGA™ may contribute domain-specific
state-change signals for AI behavior, cognition, memory, and
autonomous systems.

VSGS does not replace these architectures.

It governs specifically the current validation lifecycle condition
of a Validation Object.

Foundational Principle

Validation is not a permanent property of an object; it is a
governed state that must remain connected to the object, conditions,
evidence, and reality that continue to justify it.

Canonical Closing Statement

Validation State Governance Standard establishes the lifecycle-state
layer of VALIDOS™ — Validation Governance Architecture by
transforming validation determinations into formal, current,
bounded, traceable, and change-aware Validation States. Through
governance of state assignment, scope, depth, conditions,
limitations, validity periods, material change, equivalence,
monitoring, suspension, invalidation, expiration, conflict, partial
validation, revalidation triggers, state transitions, supersession,
withdrawal, and historical continuity, VSGS ensures that validation
cannot remain active merely because it was once established and that
every current validation claim remains connected to the present
condition of the Validation Object and the governed basis that
continues to support it.
