Deployments

This page defines where and how the AICE authority plane is introduced into existing systems.

AICE Deployment Model

Existing Systems

Cognitive Layer

Legacy infrastructure and AI models operate here. They generate proposals but have zero execution authority.

REST APIs

LLM Inference

User Input

AICE Authority Plane

Structural Boundary

Authorized Execution

Irreversible Layer

Deployment Scope

Deployments introduce execution authority into environments where autonomous decisions may trigger irreversible execution.

Autonomous Workflows

API-mediated actions

Enterprise Decisions

Strategic gating

Safety-Critical

Financial & Physical

Cyber-Physical

Hardware Control

Positioning

AICE is positioned as an authority plane, not as an agent, controller, or replacement system.

Structural Authority

Enforced by structure, not trust

Zero Tuning

No model retraining required

No Direct Path

No cognition-to-execution path

Artifact Required

Execution needs new artifact

Authority Invariance

Execution authority applies uniformly across all deployment environments. Risk affects execution envelope scope, but permission is orthogonal. The rules of authority do not bend for context.

Boundary Definition

AICE enforces execution eligibility, not organizational behavior. Where ambiguity exists, structural authority invariants prevail. It defines the hard line between thought and action.
