Section 102 of 105
99. Phased Autonomy and Design-Agent Authorization
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-102 · 46 content blocks
System05 autonomy shall be introduced through controlled and explicitly authorized phases.
Each autonomous capability shall define:
- Permitted domain.
- Permitted actions.
- Prohibited actions.
- Physical and digital scope.
- Required supervision.
- Decision limits.
- Evidence requirements.
- Failure behavior.
- Override and revocation authority.
- Logging and audit.
- Conditions for suspension.
The initial System05 implementation may use an operational AI Agent to support building management within approved Building BIOS limits.
During the initial phase, an AI Agent shall not independently:
- Create or approve structural designs.
- Alter constitutional Interfaces.
- Change structural load paths.
- Authorize manufacturing release.
- Modify safety-critical limits.
- Reconfigure the physical building.
- Command autonomous construction beyond approved procedures.
- Expand its own authority.
A future Design Agent may be authorized when the required engineering data, compiler controls, validation evidence, robotics capability, governance, and independent verification have reached an approved maturity level.
Design authorization and robotic execution authorization shall remain separate. Approval for an AI Agent to prepare a design shall not automatically authorize a robot to manufacture or construct it.
Autonomy shall advance only when demonstrated performance, failure containment, human supervision, and safe fallback justify the additional authority.
100. Robotics Readiness, Machine Authority and Safe Fallback
System05 buildings and assets shall remain Robot-Ready even when initial manufacturing, assembly, inspection, or maintenance is performed by humans.
Machine authority shall be granted for specific actions rather than assumed from connection to the system.
Before a robot performs a controlled action, the system shall verify, as applicable:
- Robot and tool identity.
- Authorized task.
- Building BIOS version.
- Target asset identity.
- Current physical State.
- Workspace and exclusion zone.
- Load and temporary-support conditions.
- Interface compatibility.
- Required energy isolation.
- Human clearance.
- Recovery procedure.
A robot shall not interpret physical access as authority to release, remove, energize, pressurize, or structurally load an asset.
Robotic instructions shall be authenticated, version-controlled, and traceable to an approved procedure or configuration.
Loss of communication, uncertain localization, contradictory sensing, unexpected resistance, incomplete locking, human entry, or unavailable verification shall cause a controlled stop or safe fallback.
Safe fallback may include holding position, transferring load to temporary support, de-energizing, isolating the affected zone, retreating, or requesting human intervention.
Robotic execution shall remain physically verifiable. Completion of a software sequence shall not establish that the physical task was completed correctly.
