applied in ↓
Institutions can assign a person authority without preserving the conditions necessary for that authority to affect execution. This program studies formal authority, practical human control, substantive human influence, and the limits imposed by incomplete records.
Current research questions
- What evidence establishes that assigned human authority had practical force in one consequential decision?
- Can records distinguish substantive human influence from ceremonial human presence?
- How should missing evidence constrain a claim about control, intervention, or responsibility?

Evidence record →TAE reflects the author-approved October reassessment: all three cases are Unresolved across 64 retained assignments, without establishing that control worked or was absent. Compare its current and historical findings. The separate HIT result retains its stated scorer contract and replication limits.
