Recursive Archive Governance: Meta-Documentary Control Protocol and Thirteen-Layer Stack Specification

Six meta-documents governing the RDAIG archive itself. Prevents recursive process logs from silently becoming the command layer for new work. Defines the thirteen-layer governance stack from root anchor through runtime operations and enforces the boundary between source material and generated artifact.

Operational governance layer

Governance Infrastructure · Operational — thirteen-layer stack preventing process logs from becoming the command layer

The Archive Governance Layer is the meta-documentary control system for the RDAIG archive. Its governing problem is the one the RDAIG manuscript identifies as recursive contamination: when process logs, governance packets, and runtime outputs are allowed to re-enter the archive without explicit classification, they begin to function as source material. The archive then governs itself rather than the project.

Six meta-documents prevent that. They define what belongs at each layer of the thirteen-layer governance stack, enforce the boundary between source and generated artifact, specify the three-agent alignment protocol for cross-system verification, and install method lock at the points where the archive is most vulnerable to silent authority accumulation.
