Legal Embedding
How The AI Constitution becomes chartered obligation inside an adopting instrument such as a pilot charter, policy, MoU or regulatory procedure: scope definition, threshold model, reasons on record, remedy model, review cadence, record duties, appeal and revocation. Enforceability inside the adopting instrument, not universal legal force by publication.
Canonical definition
Legal embedding is the model by which The AI Constitution becomes chartered obligation inside an adopting instrument — a pilot charter, a policy, an MoU, a regulatory procedure — with thresholds for high-impact acts, reasons on record, proportionate remedies, defined review windows and auditable provenance.
Why this node exists
"Chartered" means enforceability inside the adopting instrument, not universal legal force by publication. This node fixes the minimum an adoption must contain to be auditable and robust across jurisdictions.
Operational meaning
Minimum, non-negotiable requirements: scope definition; a threshold model distinguishing reversible, partially reversible and irreversible acts; reasons on record in the form claim → evidence → constitutional basis → remedy; a pre-declared remedy model; a review cadence with independent review for high-impact moves; record duties with hashes and receipts, plaintext off-chain; appeal windows and revocation mechanics. Adoption pathways exist for governments and cities, multilateral bodies and regulators, and enterprises and labs. Template packs are issued on request as governed artefacts with fingerprints.
What this does not mean
Embedding implies no legal status and no endorsement, is not a substitute for legal counsel, and does not require disclosure of sensitive plaintext.
