EIOC Authority Separation: Structural Guarantees Under Boundary Co-Corruption

This paper formalizes the authority-separation architecture within the EmotionalIntegrity Operations Cycle (EIOC). Unlike computational authority-separation systems,which assume boundary isolation, EIOC operates under a degraded trust model inwhich the emotional generator and the boundary share cognitive substrate and may beco-corrupted. This assumption is codified as Invariant 0 and forms the foundation for allsubsequent guarantees. The paper introduces a bidirectional flow model, a completeset of operational invariants, a mathematical abstraction of the boundary underco-corruption, and a cross-domain threat-model delta comparing EIOC tocomputational authority-separation frameworks. The result is a generalizablearchitecture for maintaining operational integrity in environments where evaluator andgenerator cannot be physically isolated.
