Deterministic structural admissibility before consequence.
OIM verifies that required decision conditions are structurally present before automated execution proceeds. It does not judge truth. It does not interpret meaning. It sees a packet. That is all it sees.
A structural gate
OIM checks whether a submitted decision packet contains the required declared options, assumptions, invalidation conditions, metadata, and human acknowledgments.
A deterministic artifact
The same packet produces the same structural outcome and fingerprint. Refusal is not an error; it is a successful finding of structural insufficiency.
No semantic inflation
OIM does not become a judge, oracle, policy interpreter, scoring engine, runtime monitor, or replacement for human accountability.
The invariant is the product.
OIM sees a packet. That is all it ever sees.
Boundary clarity preserves reproducibility, auditability, and institutional trust.
OIM validates structure, not truth.
Boundary clarity preserves reproducibility, auditability, and institutional trust.
OIM does not authorize execution.
Boundary clarity preserves reproducibility, auditability, and institutional trust.
OIM remains stateless, deterministic, and externally attributable.
Boundary clarity preserves reproducibility, auditability, and institutional trust.
Runtime legitimacy belongs to the runtime governance layer.
Boundary clarity preserves reproducibility, auditability, and institutional trust.
Downstream of cognition. Upstream of consequence.
OIM is designed to sit after a system assembles a decision packet and before a runtime, workflow, or institution decides whether consequence may bind. It confirms structural admissibility only. Runtime legitimacy remains owned by the runtime governance layer.
