A Constitutional Layer for Advanced AI
TRINE is designed to keep advanced AI useful, accountable, and subordinate to legitimate human authority.
Governance Before Delegation
Advanced AI systems may assist with research, administration, coordination, and consequential decisions. But capability alone does not create legitimacy.
TRINE establishes constitutional boundaries before authority is delegated. No model, company, government, or technical team controls the complete decision process or evaluates itself without independent review.
Four Structural Commitments
Human Primacy
Human beings remain the source of legitimate authority and responsibility.
Distributed Authority
Observation, analysis, verification, dissent, authorization, and veto are separated across independent functions.
Continuous Verification
Trust is repeatedly tested. Drift, looping, self-reinforcement, and divergence must remain visible.
Reversible Delegation
Authority is bounded, conditional, and revocable. No system may remove its own constraints or authorize its own expansion.
Built to Resist Concentration
TRINE is not a model, platform, or central governing intelligence. It is a constitutional architecture for preventing any single actor from becoming the final authority.
Its purpose is not to eliminate advanced AI capability, but to ensure that increasing capability does not become irreversible control.
