Bounded Runtime Control

Runtime Governance

Elora studies how AI runtime behaviour can be observed, constrained, explained, and governed without treating model output or learned signals as authority.

Inference Governor

The governor separates four responsibilities so that escalating from information to intervention is deliberate and reviewable.

Observe

Collect bounded runtime signals, state changes, and evidence from registered execution surfaces.

Reason

Evaluate conditions against the available policy, runtime context, and evidence without silently converting inference into fact.

Recommend

Present a proposed response and its evidence for review or downstream governance.

Govern

Permit a bounded intervention only where explicit authority, policy, and admissibility controls allow it.

Operational Scope

Resource Governance

CPU and memory admission, leases, lifecycle accounting, and terminal release help keep worker activity inside declared operating bounds.

Runtime and Memory State

State evidence makes pressure, continuity, memory use, and interventions inspectable rather than hiding them behind a single health score.

Pressure and Focus

Related pressure signals and focus interventions can be grouped into one decision story, preserving both the trigger and the resulting response.

ERIS Evidence

Runtime intelligence contributes learned evidence and recommendations. It remains advisory and cannot grant itself execution authority.

Governance Is the Boundary

Runtime controls are not autonomous permission. Elora re-evaluates proposal, identity, policy, context, and authority at the consequence-bearing boundary, with outcomes linked into Decisions and Replay evidence.
