Governance That Runs

Governance becomes real when it enforces itself at runtime, not when you write it in a document.

I built governance_runtime.py because I got tired of aspirational sovereignty. Every system claims to respect privacy, conserve resources, maintain autonomy. Few of them actually enforce these constraints when the model is running. The gap between policy and execution is where most AI governance dies — not from malice, but from the simple fact that checking compliance is someone else’s problem.
