Direct answer
Governed Autonomy, in this Argument, is limited to the following inspected scope. The manuscript develops humane governance, directed use of information infrastructure, source verification, and resilient decision systems. One local mechanism binds an approval identity to action and policy digests and consumes the decision once. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Argument
Keep the answer within the inspected source scope and make every operational step or conceptual relation explicit.
Do not use completeness of presentation as a substitute for evidence, review, or release.
Applied scope: The manuscript develops humane governance, directed use of information infrastructure, source verification, and resilient decision systems. One local mechanism binds an approval identity to action and policy digests and consumes the decision once.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-strategies. This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish bounded explanations, operational guides, commercial entry points. It must not publish research-source duplication or unreleased evidence claims.
Evidence and exact locators
The Maha Principle — The Network and the Feed; Chapter 6 humane governance; Chapter 7 verification framework; Whole-Food Information. Establishes: The manuscript develops humane governance, directed use of information infrastructure, source verification, and resilient decision systems.
Governed workflow approval store — approvalIdFor; decide; consume. Establishes: One local mechanism binds an approval identity to action and policy digests and consumes the decision once.
What the evidence does not establish
This is authorial doctrine, not a settled philosophical term, empirical validation, or consensus.
Code shape does not prove meaningful human review, deployed enforcement, safe autonomy, or external validation.
This route must not claim research-source duplication.
This route must not claim unreleased evidence claims.

Property boundary: This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-strategies definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
