Operational Identity: A Finite Audit of Declared and Implemented Rules of Sameness
arXiv:2607. 20729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A record system declares when two records refer to the same entity, occurrence, scope, or rule.
arXiv:2601. 16152v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data systems increasingly operate under persistent legal, political, and analytic disagreement, where no single interpretive authority can be assumed.
arXiv:2607. 20729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A record system declares when two records refer to the same entity, occurrence, scope, or rule.
arXiv:2601. 14271v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Shared accountability records are often used by parties who may never agree about causation, responsibility, or normative interpretation.
arXiv:2605. 23922v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) establishes a lifecycle governance regime for high-risk AI systems built around ex-ante conformity assessment, post-market monitoring, and re-assessment upon "substantial modification.
arXiv:2608. 10601v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Two instruments of EU digital law place inference at their centre and mean different things by it.
arXiv:2606. 12320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise security was built to govern data boundaries: the protected surface was data at rest and in transit, and the controls -- access control, data-loss prevention, perimeter inspection -- governed crossings of that boundary.
arXiv:2607. 00220v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are routinely modified after deployment through retraining and changes in their environments.
Two instruments of EU digital law place inference at their centre and mean different things by it. Article 3(1) of the AI Act uses the capability to infer constitutively: it is the central feature separating the regulated category from conventional software.
arXiv:2606. 12502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose that value -- the quantity goal-directed agents create, destroy, and exchange -- is a lawful structural quantity in the same category as information.
arXiv:2607. 25364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-using agents expose structured calls but commonly attach free-form rationales.
arXiv:2608. 04618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Heterogeneous language-model ensembles expand the space of candidate responses, yet they lack a principled criterion for when a newly generated answer should supersede an already supported one.
arXiv:2607. 08731v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: National language models are becoming publicly funded epistemic infrastructure.
arXiv:2607. 10069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Semantic caching defines answer reuse on embedding similarity: two utterances share a stored answer when a similarity score clears a threshold, with no notion of authorization, versioning, or of what makes two demands the same.
