Withheld Delegating Faculty, Preserved Direct Execution How a governed agent withholds only its faculty to delegate an action class while preserving direct execution, when a residue-surcharged accepted determination drives its deviation quantity across the policy bound.Depth-Propagated Harm Inheritance Across a Delegation Chain How the Adaptive Query architecture propagates a returned harm-recording field class up a multi-hop delegation chain so harm caused by a sub-delegate at any depth is inherited and priced at every delegating agent above it.Co-Signature Conditioning of Restoration Authority How a governed autonomous agent meters its own principal's restoration authority and conditions a repeat return of the authorization gate on a co-signature from a governance address named in the principal's own policy.The Anti-Evasion Charge on Governance-Address Removal How the Adaptive Query governance architecture prices, rather than honors, an autonomous agent's attempt to drop a named governance address in order to evade a subsisting co-signature requirement on restoration authority.The Progressive Issuance Decrement How progressive issuance decrement prices the breadth of an AI agent's accusations by making the authorization-budget decrement rise with the count of distinct recipient origin-equivalence classes addressed within a metering window.Non-Attenuable Forward Restraint Inheritance: A Delegation Record That Cannot Strip an Agent's Abstention State How a delegation record's forward capability mask is tested on append against a policy-declared non-attenuable forward field class, so an agent cannot hand a delegate a cognitive state stripped of the scoped integrity vector, refusal counter, and authorization gate whose presence conditions abstention.Holding Authorization When the Renewal Register Cannot Be Read: Re-Read Cadence, Held-Value Resume, and the Max-Hold Inquiry How a persistent semantic agent that cannot read its authorization-renewal register holds the authorization quantity at its current value, re-reads the register on a policy-declared cadence, resumes decay from the held value, and emits a structured inquiry to its principal once a declared maximum hold interval has elapsed.

Report Abuse and Takedown Flooding: Making the Accusation Cost the Accuser How assertion-cost symmetry prices takedown notices and abuse reports against the reporter's own authorization budget, metering report flooding per origin-equivalence class of recipients without adjudicating whether any notice is true.The Economics of Agent-to-Agent Disputes Assertion-cost symmetry in agent-to-agent dispute economics: metering conduct evaluation artifacts once per origin-equivalence class, decrementing the issuing agent's authorization budget without adjudicating merit, and verifying attested counter state at the point of receipt.Cloud SLA Credit Claims and the Cost of Asserting Downtime How an assertion-cost counter and authorization budget change cloud SLA credit claims, metering the party asserting downtime symmetrically with the party assessing it, with epoch-clocked attestation and recipient-side verification.When Accusing Is Free and Answering Is Not How one operator's booking agent, configured to answer every conduct complaint, could be drained by cheap accusations, and how the disclosed architecture prices assertion against the asserting agent's own authorization budget with recipient-side verification.

DMCA Notice and Takedown: Where the Cost of an Assertion Falls How the DMCA notice-and-takedown regime allocates the cost of a copyright assertion, and how Adaptive Query's assertion-cost symmetry prices the breadth of an inter-agent conduct assertion against the issuing agent's own authorization budget without adjudicating merit.Report Abuse at Scale: Making an Accusation Cost the Accuser How Discord's operator-mediated abuse reporting, as publicly described, and Adaptive Query's assertion-cost symmetry approach mass reporting from opposite layers, one through trust and safety review, the other by metering the reporting party's own authorization budget.Arkose Labs: Attack Cost and Symmetric Assertion Pricing How the publicly described attack-cost approach of Arkose Labs compares with the assertion-cost counter and authorization budget of the Adaptive Query semantic agent architecture, covering symmetric pricing, epoch metering, replay bars, and recipient-side verification of agent conduct assertions.Sift: Abuse Decisioning and the Cost of an Assertion How Sift's machine learning abuse decisioning compares with an Adaptive Query architecture that prices each conduct assertion against the asserting agent's own authorization budget, epoch-metered and verified at receipt.
Terminology
acknowledgment artifact an artifact issued by a semantic agent referencing accepted determinations and enumerating action classes, issuance of which decrements the issuing agent's authorization budget merit-independently..assertion-cost counter a structure incremented upon issuance of a conduct evaluation artifact by the semantic agent, per origin-equivalence class of receiving parties, and attested within each issued artifact..authorization budget a quantity gating dispatch of actions by the semantic agent within the action space, in units identical to those gating dispatch..dynamic agent hash chain a sequence in which each successor epoch is generated from a prior epoch under an update rule incorporating an unpredictability contribution and a volatile salt, advancing a metering interval independently of any clock..
