Constitutional governance document
Governance Infrastructure · Constitutional — precedence, amendment, and drift prevention
ALAMBIC is the constitutional architecture document. It defines the governance framework’s basic legal and methodological categories — what counts as law, method, implementation, and laboratory — and then establishes the rules that govern how those categories relate to each other under pressure.
The six-layer precedence hierarchy prevents lower-layer artifacts from silently acquiring the authority of higher-layer instruments. The five-step amendment channel prevents drift, tone-smuggling, and ontology betrayal by requiring explicit passage through each layer before any constitutional change takes effect.
