STATUS · Manuscript in progressSSRN · Not yet posted
Open teaching deckSSRN — not yet postedPublication record
MECHANISM
Identify the incentive structure and the condition that would falsify the claim.
RULE CHANGE
Read the intervention only after the paper shows how the current payoff space fails to support system welfare.
READER USE
Use the summary to see where private gain creates system exposure, then check the study record.
Contribution — what this adds to the conversation
Provides formal theorem (DRCS Architecture Theorem), falsifiable research agenda, and open specification. Contribution is analytical and architectural, not software-engineering.
WHAT'S NEW · Novel integration of Prat conformism, multi-principal broadcast, Merkle tree sealing, and system welfare field into an open-source GRC specification. No existing GRC platform implements multi-principal architecture or system welfare measurement.

The Decision Record & Control Standard (DRCS v2.0) is an open-source specification for multi-principal governance architecture that resolves the conformism trap in GRC systems. It implements fifteen regulatory convergent fields plus a system welfare field, cryptographic integrity through Merkle tree sealing, and a Gaming Signature Index for ceremonial compliance detection. A formal theorem proves that multi-principal broadcast makes conformism strictly dominated. Six research programs test the mechanism.
