The Canon
Seven layers of governance. Mathematically verifiable. Architecturally frozen.
The Canon — Built to Scale, Governed to Last
The Canon is our operational architecture — a suite of playbooks and frameworks designed to govern how MyBiz and MAEGM deploy across every level of government and beyond. From a single municipality to a province, from federal rollout to international adoption, the Canon scales without losing governance integrity.
Fourteen interlocking frameworks make it portable across jurisdictions — any country, any platform, any project — while the EGAN PRICE standard ensures that no deployment trades civic responsibility for speed.
A Plan for Every Part of Your Community
Think of the Canon as a shelf of plans. One for law enforcement. One for schools. One for health. One for small business.
Each playbook is a careful, step-by-step guide for making sure this technology serves real people safely and fairly.

Human Governance (Cabinet)
Democratic Apex
Final authority. Crisis override. CRT integrity protocol. Elected or appointed human authority with documented chains of responsibility.
Transparency & Disclosure
Transparency
Appeal pathways. Zero-Latency Resolver. Annual audit. Quarterly reporting. Every AI-assisted decision traceable to human authority.
Permanent Standing Committee
Committee Oversight
15-member oversight body. Binding authority. Differentiated voting weights. Three-year staggered terms.
Sovereign Security Envelope
Data Sovereignty
Data residency within Canadian jurisdiction. AES-256 encryption. CLOUD Act mitigation. Zero unencrypted cross-border transfers.
Risk & Formalization Engine
Risk Engine
Constraint Translation Engine. PECG compliance gate. Fairness constraints. Immutable audit logs.
Operational Gatekeeping
Gatekeeping
Authentication. Consent management. Transaction logging. Graceful degradation under load.
Platform Infrastructure
Infrastructure
Canadian-hosted compute. Hardware Security Modules. TPMs. Biometric access control. Disaster recovery.
Canonical Playbook Categories
What the work does for people — not our internal filing system.
AI Governance
Constitutional foundations that keep AI accountable to people, including the MAEGM seven-layer framework and O.C.T.O.P.U.S. child & youth protection protocols.
Condorcet 1785. Fault tolerance 42.8%. P(deadlock)=0 at 7.
Platform & Economy
Architectural guidelines that connect the $23B Ontario proof point to national scaling models built around Canada’s $72.4B underground economy.
$23B in Ontario [VER] — part of Canada’s $72.4B underground economy [VER — Statistics Canada, 2023].
Sector Playbooks
Sector-specific playbooks written for the people who run the real economy — from front-line safety to kitchen‑table entrepreneurship.
Law enforcement, education, health, lending, insurance, logistics, community safety, work‑from‑home operators, media, and more.
Compliance & Standards
Material that keeps the Canon aligned with the rules that already exist — tax, privacy, accessibility, equity, and audit practice.
CRA trust‑based compliance, DEI measurement methodology, and a provincial implementation timeline under the EGAN PRICE standard.
O.C.T.O.P.U.S.
Origin Centered Trauma Outreach Protection Under Survivor Sight. A specialized inter-layer connector for child safety and emergency continuity. Interfaces at even-numbered MAEGM layers (L2, L4, L6). Advisory only — bound by the same ceiling that governs all MAEGM AI outputs.
SLIP
The SLIP measurement standard quantifies governance compliance across MAEGM layers. It provides a single composite score reflecting architectural alignment, operational readiness, and compliance posture.
The SLIP formula, variables, and weights are proprietary. Public documentation describes what SLIP measures — not how it calculates.
The Governance Quality Function
Condorcet (1785). Odd-parity scaling: 7 → 15 → 31 → 63 → 127. P(deadlock) = 0 at any odd quorum. Fault tolerance: 42.8%. The mathematics that guarantees governance integrity.
Open-Source Commitment
The seven-layer governance architecture is intended for open-source release. Apache 2.0 licensing in preparation. Any jurisdiction may adopt, adapt, and extend the framework. The platform implementation remains proprietary.
