Temporal Governance

Governor

AI doesn't just need permission. It needs sequence control.

Cooldowns between high-risk actions. Prerequisites before deployment. Approval gates at critical transitions. Time as a governance dimension.

Cooldown enforcement

Minimum soak time between staging and production. Configurable per-zone. Automatically enforced.

Approval checkpoints

Human-in-the-loop at critical transitions. Signed and recorded. Segregation of duties. SOC 2 CC-6.3.

Prerequisite chains

Step 5 can't start until steps 2 and 4 pass. Deterministic sequencing. No race conditions.

Health check windows

Post-deploy verification within bounded time. If health check misses the window, the deployment is flagged. SOC 2 CC-7.2.
