Authority architecture in the AI-era.
Institutional authority in the AI era is not a presence claim — it is an evidence architecture. When AI systems mediate due diligence, procurement, regulatory review, and strategic partnership formation, the entities that hold cryptographically-verifiable, machine-readable, cross-anchored records of who they are and what they have done occupy structurally privileged positions. The entities that do not occupy the inferred space — the answers AI systems generate when verified ones are unavailable. This thesis examines the operational architecture of that distinction: evidence lockers, truth loops, federation corroboration, machine-readable identity anchors.
