System Architecture
A conceptual, governance-aligned architecture designed to support clarity and accountability-ready,
tamper-evident recordkeeping for user-owned records and user-provided digital artifacts
without surveillance or monitoring.
This page describes architectural intent and boundaries only.
No operational workflows, implementation details, or execution-enabling material are disclosed.
Architectural Intent
Project Aingeal is organized to preserve decision-grade records about user-provided artifacts and user-owned records.
The focus is not classification or attribution. The focus is integrity and clarity: what changed, when it changed,
and why the record was authorized at the time it was created.
Principle: If a system cannot produce a decision-grade record at the moment an action occurs,
it will be forced into unreliable reconstruction later — and operational speed collapses.
User Authority Boundary
Record creation occurs only through explicit user initiation or a user-configured internal condition.
The architecture does not observe, monitor, or infer activity outside of user-authorized actions.
- No passive observation
- No background monitoring
- No automated collection
An “event,” as used herein, refers to an explicit user action or a user-configured internal condition
and does not include passive observation or monitoring of system activity.
Evidence & Record Structure
Records are treated as structured artifacts with continuity across time. The architecture emphasizes consistency,
traceability, and explainability so a later reviewer can understand the record without guesswork or reconstruction.
Integrity and continuity signals support reviewability without asserting interpretation, enforcement, or control.
Governance-Aligned Design
Architectural boundaries are defined in alignment with the project’s governance framework.
Scope limits and controlled disclosure are treated as structural requirements, not optional guidelines.
- Clear scope limitations
- Defined disclosure boundaries
- Non-operational public representation
Litmus test: Does this preserve what changed, when it changed, and why it was authorized at the time,
without later reconstruction?
