Idea-Native Architecture

Surface-Based Reasoning

Definition

Governance reasoning that asks only 'does this container satisfy current rules?' without tracing whether actions remain aligned with original intent. Surface-based reasoning allows institutions to remain compliant while drifting substantively from purpose.

Example

An audit confirms all grants followed proper approval procedures and documentation requirements, but cannot detect that the grants collectively serve a purpose that contradicts the foundation's charter.
