Mechanized Foundations of Structural Governance: Machine-Checked Proofs for Governed Intelligence

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.27289v1 Announce Type: new We present five results in the theory of structural governance for cognitive workflow systems. Three are mechanized in Coq 8.19 using the Interaction Trees library with parameterized coinduction; two are proved on paper with explicit reductions. The Coinductive Safety Predicate (gov_safe) is a coinductive property that captures governance safety for infinite program behaviors, indexed by a boolean permission flag that is provably false for ungoverned I/O and true for governed interpretations (mechanized.
