CEK — Preserving Human Authority in AI Workflows

Long-running AI workflows can drift. A later instruction, generated proposal, or state change may conflict with the authority and rules established at the beginning of the work.

CEK explores a constitutional execution model: establish human authority and operating rules first, carry them through controlled state transitions, and reject changes that exceed those boundaries before they are accepted.

I built a controlled proof-of-concept for keeping long-running AI workflows inside human-defined authority boundaries, even when later instructions or generated actions conflict with those rules.”

The tests showed that invalid authority changes could be rejected without corrupting the accepted workflow state, while valid subsequent work continued from the last trusted state.”

This is controlled proof-of-concept evidence—not a claim of production readiness, universal security, or protection against every adversarial strategy.

The next milestone is to evaluate the model against a bounded real workflow with an external pilot or validation partner.
