The Standard

Normative documents behind independent measurement for governed autonomous action

Pharns Genece, founder of AAM Cyber, wrote the Five Laws of AI Governance and published them under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21271749.

The reference document

The Five Laws of AI Governance — five structural prohibitions on what a governed system may never do to itself. Archived under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21271749, CC BY 4.0.

NIST OLIR alignments

Supportive Relationship Mappings relating the Five Laws to three NIST frameworks. Each page states the mapping in full, quoting the focal element and the corresponding Law verbatim.

Catalogued by the NIST Online Informative References (OLIR) Program as Draft Informative References on 2026-10-06, after passing screening and validation, and now in a 30-day public review. Draft is not Final: these mappings are not accepted or NIST-endorsed. Change log.

The measurement framework

AQ Score — A Foundational Framework — the architectural case for a measurement standard for governed autonomous action.

The constructive form

Governed Autonomous Execution Methodology — the five properties a standards body must provide. The same architecture the Five Laws state as prohibitions.

Framework crosswalk library

SDOS Runtime Governance Framework — a 24-control catalog across 9 governance domains, crosswalked to 17 frameworks. Its mappings to NIST AI RMF 1.0, CSF 2.0 and SP 800-53 Rev 5.2.0 are Final informative references in the NIST OLIR catalog (Reference IDs 220, 215 and 217). That is a separate reference document from the Five Laws, with a different catalog status.
