      "heading": "The Governance Gap",
      "intro": "Current AI governance approaches—policy documents, training programmes, ethical guidelines—rely on voluntary compliance. LLM systems can bypass these controls simply by not invoking them. When an AI agent needs to check a policy, it must choose to do so. When it should escalate a decision to human oversight, it must recognise that obligation.",
      "problem": "This creates a structural problem: governance exists only insofar as the AI acknowledges it. For organisations subject to EU AI Act Article 14 (human oversight requirements) or deploying AI in high-stakes domains, this voluntary model is inadequate.",
      "solution": "Tractatus explores whether governance can be made architecturally external—difficult to bypass not through better prompts, but through system design that places control points outside the AI's discretion."
