This layer defines the authoritative correspondence between regulatory requirements and ARAYUN_173 System Law conditions. It serves as the final reference point for interpretation, audit alignment, and conflict resolution.
Purpose
The canonical layer establishes binding mappings between normative requirements and structural invariants. It ensures that interpretations remain consistent across audit, evidence, and system definition layers.
Scope
This layer does not provide legal advice. It defines structural correspondences required for technical verification and audit continuity.
Resolution Function
In case of ambiguity, conflict, or multiple interpretations, this layer defines the authoritative mapping. All lower layers (documentation, audit artifacts, or derived interpretations) must resolve against this reference.
EU AI Act Mapping
- Article 9 → System Law: Causal Stability
- Article 13 → System Law: Traceable Semantics
- Article 15 → System Law: Metric-Bound Robustness
- Article 50 → System Law: Provenance & Origin Traceability
Each mapping references the corresponding system law condition, the empirical evidence layer, and the applicable audit artifacts.
System Position
This layer operates above documentation and below formal system law definition. It connects regulatory abstraction with technical verification and ensures consistent interpretation across all system components.
