Rules that operate across the architectural layers. Eleven distinct policies that apply concurrently to every action the system evaluates, with no order of precedence except where safety overrides.
Cross-cutting policies are not layers. They are rules that apply across every layer concurrently. A radial arrangement communicates this: no policy is structurally above any other; each touches the entire architecture from its own angle. Jurisdictional adaptation, content provenance, human-in-the-loop governance, AR/MR/XR governance, acoustic and sensory governance, commerce and entitlement, lifecycle evolution, safety-authority schedule, security and trust-boundary, accessibility and inclusion, and consent and data sovereignty are evaluated together at the governance gate, not in sequence.
Two policies are color-coded because of their structural couplings. Policy 08 (Safety-Authority Schedule) is rendered in coral because it couples directly to OSOL™ — safety authority is what OSOL™ enforces. Policy 10 (Accessibility & Inclusion) is rendered in teal because it is structural, not retrofit: accessibility is treated as a system constraint that shapes design at concept stage, not as a feature added at integration time.
The full canonical definitions of every policy are documented in the Reference.
