Credentialed Topology Graph The governed spatial mesh maintains a governance-credentialed topology graph whose nodes represent a physical-world domain and whose edges represent propagation channels. A cascade-computation engine executes per-edge propagation functions across the topology to produce predicted affected regions, magnitudes, and arrival times.Refusal as a First-Class Governed Observation When a downstream agent in the cascade-propagation primitive cannot or should not apply a proposed mitigation, the refusal becomes a first-class governed observation with a governance-policy-defined reason classification that propagates upstream for alternative-mitigation, corroboration, or escalation.Upstream Cascade Coordination The cascade-propagation primitive of Adaptive Query (Provisional 64/049,409) treats a downstream agent's refusal of a proposed mitigation as a first-class governed observation that drives upstream coordination: alternative-mitigation requests, corroborating-observation solicitation, and higher-authority escalation, each recorded in governance-chain lineage.Cross-Domain Cascade Composition Cross-domain cascade composition combines cascade propagation across two or more topology domains to produce composite cascade-of-cascade determinations, with cascade-authority resolution across multiple governance authorities and governance-chain lineage preserved throughout.Preemptive Cascade Mitigation Cascade-propagation computation routes governed coordination directives to downstream receiving agents, enabling mitigation before a projected disruption arrives. The architecture emits these directives as governance-credentialed, lineage-recorded events within the cascade-propagation primitive.Cascade Halting Mechanisms Cascade propagation includes a cascade-halting and containment mechanism specifying governance-policy-defined stop-conditions under which propagation is actively interrupted, with each halting event recorded as a governed observation in the governance-chain lineage.Multi-Authority Cascade Resolution The cascade-authority resolution mechanism of the governed spatial mesh resolves responsibility when a cascade topology spans multiple governance authorities, producing a credentialed resolution observation that preserves the lineage of every contributing source.Topology Learning From Operations The cascade-propagation primitive of the governed spatial mesh updates its governance-credentialed topology graph, propagation functions, and aggregation functions from observed propagation outcomes, with every topology update recorded in the governance-chain lineage.
