A7SEM — Epistemic Maturity Membrane Specification v1.0 (Epistemic Readiness as a Pre-Inference Governance Primitive)

A7SEM — Epistemic Maturity Membrane Specification v1.0(Epistemic Readiness as a Pre-Inference Governance Primitive) This report defines the Akarkach 7-Stage Emergence Model (A7SEM) as a canonical epistemic maturity membrane inside Pre-Inference Governance. Within this architecture, no inference or high-impact action may be authorized unless the underlying information state has reached a decision-ready epistemic maturity level. A7SEM establishes stage-aware differentiation between immature, transitional, and decision-grade knowledge and provides structural foundations for legitimacy, traceable responsibility, bounded risk, and insurable AI deployment.
