   Title:   NHE Constrained Bootstrap: A Self-Describing Capability and Constraint Declaration Protocol for Autonomous Agents
   Author:  Cristian Xavier Ruvalcaba
   Name:    draft-ruvalcaba-nhe-bootstrap-00.txt
   Pages:   7

Abstract:

   This document specifies how a Non-Human Entity (NHE) declares, at
   bootstrap, what it is capable of and is thereby bounded in what it is
   permitted to do.  An entity produces a signed, self-describing
   capability manifest through automated introspection; a coordinator
   classifies the manifest into a capability tier that maps to a
   permission matrix --- the set of task types the entity is authorized
   to perform --- and every subsequent task dispatch is gated against
   that envelope.  The result is a verifiable, self-describing
   constraint on an entity established at the moment it joins, realizing
   the bounded-authority invariant of the NHE architecture at boot time.
   The manifest and handshake data model is specified here; the wire
   encoding is deferred to the next revision.
