Boundary surface
GCI sits at the interaction boundary between human intent and governed execution. It connects cognition to admissible system action.
Interface Layer
GCI — Governed Cognitive Interface
The interface is not where interaction simply happens. It is where interaction is admitted.
Admission before processing
Most interfaces assume input is valid and evaluate later. GCI reverses that logic: interaction exists only where structural conditions are satisfied.
You do not govern systems by controlling outputs. You govern them by controlling whether interaction can occur.
