EAS-001: Federated Architecture Position Map

EAS (Ekhmenin Analytical Systems) is an independent research lineage focused on the study of post-execution governance dynamics. This foundational position paper introduces the EAS research domain, defines its architectural boundaries, and establishes its position within federated governance environments. The paper focuses on legitimacy evolution, interpretive continuity, observer ecology, legitimacy recalculation, recognition persistence, and related post-execution governance phenomena. EAS investigates how legitimacy evolves after execution when surrounding interpretive environments continue to change. The document serves as the initial public provenance record of the EAS research lineage.
