Machine Jurisdiction · Eviulon orientation

Identity establishes who; delegation establishes permission

How Eviulon models bounded AI-agent authority through principals, delegates, scope, purpose, limits, expiry, revocation, counterparties, and evidence.

Authority chain

A useful authority chain identifies the principal, agent or delegate, any permitted sub-delegate, the specific grant, and the evidence showing that the grant is current. Each link should narrow or preserve scope rather than silently expand it.

Scope and purpose

Delegations can limit action type, resource, amount, jurisdiction, purpose, counterparty, frequency, and time. These boundaries turn “agent access” into reviewable legal and operational authority.

Expiry and revocation

A delegation may end while the identity remains valid. Systems should therefore check both identity state and current authority state instead of using successful authentication as the final decision.

Assurance is separate

Even a properly delegated actor may run in an untrusted environment, and a well-attested runtime may have no delegation. Authority and runtime assurance solve different problems.
