The Lattice architecture introduces a novel concept of "governed success" where refusal is a valid and informative outcome, distinct from error. Unlike traditional systems where governance is external, Lattice embeds it within the transition process through three gates: coherence, attention budget, and reversibility. This allows the system to distinguish between capability and authority, enabling it to refuse actions it is technically capable of but lacks sufficient authorization to perform. This refusal provides valuable lineage information about why a transition did not occur. AI
