The source report identifies this proposition for governed review: Verification vs. Certification (RQ9): Engineering communities treat Verification as the internal, objective process of ensuring a system meets its design specifications3. Certification is the external legal or cryptographic attestation of that fact. Verification is the action; Certification is the artifact.

The source report identifies this proposition for governed review: Identity vs. Credentials (RQ6): In security architecture (NIST SP 800-207A / SPIFFE), a Workload Identity is derived dynamically from verifiable facts about the workload (its runtime environment, hash, node) rather than a stored credential (a secret password or API key)7. Identity is inherent ("what the workload is"); a credential is transferable ("what it holds").

The source report identifies this proposition for governed review: Autonomy vs. Sovereignty (RQ10): Autonomy is a technical capability—the ability to execute programmatic loops and adapt to environments without continuous human prompting. Sovereignty is a legal and political status—the absolute authority over a domain. An autonomous drone possesses autonomy but entirely lacks legal sovereignty.
